yes ... the prices (not values) of the metals are fluctuation, not the dollar ...
Maybe a new technology is driving silver demand? Silver has been 20 to 40 bucks as long as I can remember buying it. And the sudden spike hasn’t been explained well. No big storms or crashes at mines, no new technology announced, no movement in fiat cash. So I think something would be brewing in the battery tech world we don’t know about yet. My shiny things just sit in a safe, though I now have enough to sell and get a new pickup at these prize (pre government mandated kill switch of course).
