3 Key Points:

1. The demand for precious metals has grown as this is where people invest whenever there is economic trouble - such as this pandemic. Negative real yields and their fear of the unknown are also other reasons why the demand has grown.
2. Delayed physical delivery has occurred due to growing demand but limited production systems, and prioritizing in-demand metals.
3. Inflation is expected to happen due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
