Gold and silver have been making crazy moves this past year, too. I think we may be seeing flight from the US dollar, with tech people going for crypto more while banks and older folks are leaning more into bullion. I can't predict the future, but we have myriad signals suggesting we're already in an unacknowledged recession, plus there's still fallout from Trump's tariffs, COVID restrictions, and even the old unresolved quantitative easing policies.
Agreed! Real rate of return is becoming a thing...gold and btc have been best places
Silver has been aggressively catching up in its ratio vs. gold, and is probably the easiest precious metal to buy.
