Having experienced six different decades of trading careers, every time there is a supply and demand imbalance in the commodity market, I hear the same saying — this time is different.

But there has never been a different situation. And there won't be in the future.

The market is always repeating the same story. Supply and demand cycles keep rotating, emotions swing between fear and greed, and people always want to believe that this time is special. The reality is, this pattern of volatility has been validated for decades, and precious metals markets, energy markets, and any commodities follow the same rules.

So, there's no need to over-interpret market anomalies. Just enjoy the opportunities of the moment because the next cycle will come sooner or later.
