Does S&P 500 VIX Price Affect The Gold Price

Hello everyone!

My name is Jiajian (Sylar) Guo and I am a junior at Boston University interested in quantitative finance. I am a member of the quant research team in BU Finance and Investment Club. Since recently VIX has become a hot topic and I just wonder if a safe asset like gold is affected by it. I decided to test if there is a difference of gold prices when S&P 500 VIX close price is above and below 15. Gold price is from the database of Gold Price (USD) from Quandl, and VIX is from VIX S&P500 Volatility from Quandl.

I would really appreciate any criticism or comment on my notebook. Thanks a lot!
