TJ this is only the beginning of difficulties in international trade. The backlogs are due mostly from weather events re-enforced by the pandemic due to lack of workers from logistic planning to cargo handling.
Global warming will only get worse. Wonder how Antarctica, Shout America and Australia will pass this summer
Re gold for years I WAS writing that gold is just a metal relative rare but there are many other metals that are needed in industry which are rarer than gold.

Open an old cellphone or computer board how much gold v. tantalum is there in grams

How about gadolinium needed for MRI clarity? .... and the list is long.

Gold platinum is a barbarian relic related to value.

Polished diamonds are more indicative to inflation due to the labor contained in polishing a diamond of 2 carat or more, as the small once are polished by machines.

Problem is there is no practical use of big polished diamonds

So best is real rare metals that are difficult to extract, needed in technological devices and not gold.
