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?

Well, not far from where I am there's a a local shop of a mint that buys and sells large amounts of gold, and their spread is less than two percents you're talking kilos. I think it's even less than one percent. The spread for coins is far larger.

Besides, if there's inflation, this means, that the markets have too much liquidity. If markets aren't liquid enough, there's no inflation. And if there's no inflation, what happened to all this money that has been printed during the past few years?
