Responding to various posts:

Platinum is a high-efficiency hydrogen catalyst.

The FRB has assured that they are not going to invert the yield curve. But that means that long-term interest rates are going to go up. Well, two things are happening, increases in overnight bank rates and FRB balance-sheet-reduction. There is no simple one-thing happening.

Finally, the mid-term elections haven't yet happened although the current-administration social-program-agenda seems to have already topped-out.

In 3-5 years, you won't be able to but an ounce of silver, platinum, or gold, for any amount of dollars.

Just an observation
Any comments?
Notwithstanding the fact that the price of everything is determined in part by Supply & Demand, this is an investment issue and not an economics issue.

Yes, they will. This is just another one in a long history of failed woo-woo nonsense predictions by you.

The strong dollar is going to help many people with US-based income that live in (some) other countries. I'll be back in Germany next month for a long-term stay (2-3 years or so) and all of my retirement income comes from a US corporate pension and from my US-based IRAs. The current USD-Euro exchange rate is about 1.08, and last year I was usually getting an exchange rate of around 1.18. That will give me a roughly 9 percent improvement in cost of living. Of course, that could change quickly depending on many events, but at least for a short term it will be a plus.
