The price action in gold and silver this year is actually the best...

Xi stockpiling precious metals anticipating trade sanctions if he invades Taiwan.
Military leader factions stockpiling as a coup would destabilize control and they’d need to pay troops.
Xi wanting to move on Taiwan makes it more likely to lead to coup risk as people want focus on Chinese domestic issues.
All added to by declining dollar power.

This is not “normal” market behavior.
