Oh, the drama!

Sounds like a doom-and-gloom prediction global warming cultists would make.

Prices go up. Prices go down. First there's Autumn. Then there's Winter.
And Spring follows Winter. Yes, there will be growth in the Spring.

,,, what drama? The price is evident and can change throughout the day, every day. The present peak is a market barometer which takes in economic perceptions, the possibility of wars escalting in Yemen/Gaza, Ukraine/Russia and the South China Sea. It's all easily quantified, unlike the climate industry. Although gold ETFs in China aren't at all big, they're growing at a fast rate. I doubt they regard it as drama, just self preservation and an easy access point to metals.
