And of course there's a war with Russia, which might try to destabilize the western economies and monetary system if that's possible.

Shouldn't the prices for those commodities be sky-high because everyone tries to hedge against inflation as well as the looming monetary crisis? Why isn't that the case?

The petrol dollar is still in effect, although waining. And US bonds still dominate, this is correlated with the value of the dollar. You have to keep in mind, most all other counties debased their currencies too. The net effect is the US is still the cleanest shirt in the hamper. People are running to safety.

So a strengthening dollar means deflation, it takes less money to buy gold or stocks. And the price goes down.

Also, the financial system is a scam, these money changers are protecting their assets. As the system is cheated we see more disequilibrium of the invisible hand. Food, gas and property are way up, while gold, crypto and stocks go down. The next stage in this disequilibrium is an inverted yield curve as things push their way back to equilibrium.
