It's pretty clear that PGM's across the board are being bought up, not just the big ones like platinum and rhodium. That maybe points to governments stockpiling with a view to the future. Even iridium is starting to add significantly to the basket now, at more than US$6,000 / ounce it adds about US$300 to the basket.
I've tried avoiding any news coverage of Trump, it's not good for the blood pressure! I seriously doubt he'll make it to the end of his term, he's knocking on 80 now and showing signs of serious cognitive decline. He's also got the worst approval rating of any US president ever although in Trump reality I'm sure he thinks he's doing great!
