Who knows.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">But one thing&#8217;s for sure: We&#8217;re on a knife&#8217;s edge.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Only a few headlines away from a shift in perception that would bring drastically higher price levels.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image7-7.jpeg\" class=\"size-full\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"postie-post\">\n<div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Plan accordingly &#x1f402;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ccd6dd;
