I don't think the dollar-denominated price of gold will be as influenced by the exchange rate with the Yen as it will be by fear of over-easing to reboot the US economy. Too much cheap money will take down the store of value, gold. Japan is not a major influence and even the cheap money for yen which has been going on for a decade or more has not really impacted the price of gold.
