Ever saw something so confronting yet so shockingly undeniable, you had to double check because there's no way it could be true?
That happened to me just now and it was regarding this old screenshot I took from exactly 1 year ago of 1 tr. ounce gold and 1 tr. ounce platinum bar I put in my online shopping cart but ultimately did not purchase. Why? IDK. Why take the screenshot? I sometimes do that for reference and see what my supposed not-to-be investment would be worth a few months or years later.
The prices are in HK Dollars and the thing that shocked me, and mind you this shocked me despite knowing that all these precious metals have been growing rapidly in value the past months, was that Platinum literally doubled the past year. It actually did more than just double, at the time of writing it is up almost 140% compared to last year.
Platinum and silver have been the best performing metals both gaining roughly 140%, while gold and palladium gained about 80% each since one year ago. That's absolutely insane to me. This is the type of thing I recognize in Bitcoin, not precious metals like gold or silver who's market cap far exceeds Bitcoin's market cap. Speaking of which btw is not up but down -7.4% since last year.
So why are these signs of bad times ahead in 2026? Don't just take Meloni's word for it who is literally an insider and must know what her EU rulers are planning:
Just take a look at historic charts:
You want to know the absolute infuriating yet laughably ironic part? I was actually planning to get 2 platinum bars and put them in my cart for the total price of 16.200 HK Dollar. Now I can't even get 1 bar for 16.200 HKD.😂😡😅😤
