Crypto, securities, metals, and other commodities dropped. I would have expected the metals to rise as the securities dropped, but they fell too. Something shifty is happening with the metals, but I don't know what it is.

Something really weird is going on and I still can't figure it out. A few days later, we'll have to wait and see what happened.

Let's take gold and silver as examples (whether it's the physical metals, or their respective ForEx equivalents XAU and XAG). Traditionally, when USD falls XAU/XAG rises. When USD rises, they fall.
Is USD falling because it is becoming a less-demanded asset, or is it falling because there's just so much out there that the rest of the world is oversaturated with USD?
Usually XAU/XAG are good indicators, yet they've been tracking with USD for at least a decade or longer due to manipulation of "paper gold" and "paper silver" by the bullion banks. For a while starting in mid-March 2020 XAU/XAG broke through to regain more of their true market value. In 2021 both slipped back to their January-February 2020 prices.
During the early days of Russia's
Operation Zin Ukraine, XAU/XAG rebounded in price to reflect their natural behaviors as safe haven assets. In recent weeks, they dropped back despite the situation transforming into a transition fromOperation Zto World War 3, 21st Century style.I don't have all the info I need to analyze events properly. I don't know how gold and silver are flowing specifically throughout the world beyond the obvious trend of making an exodus from West to East. I only know what the spot prices tell me. Something fishy or shifty is happening with the metals.
