gold is the <<cleverest>> and is, I quote my jack, 'a big brain idea' and gold is primordial, elemental, faithful, true, and eternal but to simply conclude that we should marry our gold and keep a wife might be going a step too far arguably :0) if gold was a person, it would sport quite a few PhDs

<<cleverest ... remarkably prescient Gold>> SBSW was, in hindsight, also clever, and now confirmed by not as clever but still clever-enough (relative to QQQ and such) palladium, but of course QQQ might still turn out to be quite smart as the Fed walks back on taper ... Inflation must and therefore shall be, and only question remains being what if anything happens before inflation surge gets underway bloomberg.com Palladium Plunges to 12-Month Low on Automaker-Demand Concerns Yvonne Yue Li 10 September 2021, 06:01 GMT+8 Spot palladium dropped to the lowest in more than a year, extending a slump in the metal amid concern over demand from automakers and prospects for substitution after a price-run-up earlier this year. Palladium, which reached a record high earlier in May, fell for a fourth straight day to the lowest since August 2020. Platinum also slipped. The World Platinum Investment Council said this week that it expects higher costs of palladium, used in vehicle pollution-control devices, to spur a gradual switch by automakers to using more platinum in gasoline-powered cars and trucks. Both metals have been hurt by expectations that auto output will remain constrained by a shortage of semiconductors. “Both complexes (especially palladium) have gotten hammered this week as we have to suspect that difficulties in the global auto sector must be weighing on PGM demand,” ED&F Man Capital Markets analyst Ed Meir said in a note, referring to platinum group metals. Palladium for immediate delivery slid as much as 4.7% to $2,148.07 an ounce on Thursday, before settling at $2,180. Bullion edged higher as the dollar weakened after the European Central Bank’s decision to reduce the pace of bond buying and signs of further recovery in the U.S. labor market. Gold rose 0.3% to $1,794.58 an ounce in New York. Bullion futures for December delivery gained 0.4% to settle at $1,800 on the Comex. Spot silver also advanced. — With assistance by Martin Ritchie, and Eddie Spence Before it's here, it's on the Bloomberg Terminal. LEARN MORE
