Is it that oil is gaining value, or is it that the dollar is losing value?

How does oil look against (say) sterling, the Euro and the Kuwaiti Dinar?

Although the US$ is parting ways from other major currencies, the difference is small against oil price variations.

Remember that oil was below 50$ in the beginning of the year and now is nighing on 80$. The currency variations have much lower amplitude. That's almost a 60% increase.
