    The gold and silver market is another sign if a softening dollar. The treasuries will be slower to move, but record high gold and silver prices are a terrible sign for investor sentiment. In 2023 I said dedollarization was a meme. 2025 made it obvious it was inevitable. The question is just when Europe and the rest of the world will take back the US’s exorbitant privilege, and how badly they’ll react when we do.
