Agree with most of that but let's be clear, it's the bankers driving all this - including the strong, sustained inflation they need more than anyone else.
I wouldn't, personally, be worrying about the Gold/Silver price in the year(s) ahead :)
The market just priced in the biggest/most likely rate cuts that's ever been seen in 2023 Q1 for starters.
Re rates - I suspect 75bps next week, carnage to follow, then pause/pivot in September ahead of mid-terms.
The point on currencies is well taken and I've voiced it myself on FinTwit these past weeks - while our Gold/Silver/miners are priced in GBP that's being suppressed by the mighty Dollar, it, in and of itself, is applying an upwards pressure to our local prices and that can be seen when you're buying physical metal yourself.
If the spot price(s) happens to go up at the same time (perfectly possible) then it's a double-whammy.
