Check my charts examples to see clearly further studies has made me think understand that dollar and oil can move in same direction but not all the time reasons that geopolitical issue can cause oil price to drop while the economic factors of us dollar keeps it strong oil is paid for in dollar while dollar it's self is price in commodity, but economic factors can cause a change in the way they move and oil is a risky asset so if there is a risk off environment oil will definitely drop price while USD will do better check the charts for example the dates are marked out there , when policy changes it weakens or strengthen the dollar and in a risk off environment dollar perform very well that us oil , let's say during march the vix was at 35 which was a risk on environmental so many investors had bought oil and it pumped up and dollar policy was cool and slow not bad at all, then as we approach April vix had dropped to 20 and we have started entering the risk off environment and investors are taking profits for their positions on oil, and us policy was still steady no much improvement and oil was now dropping and vix got to 15 on may and us policy started changing labour sector started performing well, employment rate increased , housing costs reduced but inflation was still up, so rate must be kept steady or increase a little to fight inflation so now the us dollar is doing well and investors are pulling to it as save heaven and base on the policy changes definitely dollar will perform more better than oil and presently that's what is happening look at the chart for dollar @ 7th April and 12th April an usoil @7th april and 5th April
