The Dollar Is the Default Language of Metal Prices
Because the US dollar is the world's reserve currency, international metal prices are conventionally quoted in USD first and converted into every other currency second — which is precisely how every non-India price on this site is actually derived. American monetary policy, in a very real sense, is the starting point for the whole board.
