The history of frenzies (bubbles) is always on the edge of my mind. Recent Gold and precious metals price increases has been explained as a response to China and India's increased demand and limited mining investments in the last decade. Newly minted Oil sheik millionaires / billionaires need something to diversify into before they forget about saving and spend it all.

How much of the PM value increase can be attributed to investment by oil exporters? If oil prices decline, the demand would dry up. If there were substantial reversal of fortunes for these investors, the current shortages could change to a glut.

This is just a discussion point, and not a complete theory.
