Gold's broken through $4,590—up over $80. Silver's sitting pretty above $84, gains pushing past $4. Charts are screaming higher, but here's the thing: this isn't a victory lap for the economy. Sure, if you're holding precious metals, you're watching your positions glow. But that rally? It's basically the market pricing in trouble ahead. When gold and silver move like this, it usually means investors are getting nervous about what's coming down the pike for everyday Americans. The shine on these metals tends to brighten when confidence dims elsewhere.
