Inflation / CPI
An investor in Europe holding metal has done well in some years when a dollar investor did badly, purely on currency.
Fed & interest rates
Metal quoted against the euro or the yen behaves differently from the dollar version, and a decision moves the two apart.
Safe-haven demand
A crisis that strengthens the dollar can leave metal flat in dollars and sharply higher elsewhere.
Bond yields
Interest rates differ by currency, which is why the forward curve for metal differs depending on which currency prices it.
US dollar
Cross-currency quotes strip out the dollar leg, which is the cleanest way to see what the metal itself is doing.
