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?

Gold is more conductive than copper, it is a vital component in electronics. It is exceedingly rare in nature and scarcity is value.

Gold isn't more conductive. It's about .76 if Copper is 1.0. Silver is the most conductive at 1.06, and is a great conductor of heat as well. That's why you get silver bearing thermal paste.

Gold is used in electronics because it doesn't corrode, but if plated wrong or thinly the base material will still leach through and corrode the surface. It has to be completely removed from soldering surfaces in military applications.

Here's a good chart for reference. https://www.tibtech.com/conductivite.php?lang=en_US

and has the ability to NEVER corrode.
