Gold and silver hitting all time highs, stock market at insane levels. We have an asset bubble even though interest rates are high. Why is this?

Inflation is being priced in.

Globally faith in the USD is being lost, and anyone paying attention knows one of Trump's main economic goals is to weaken the dollar. He also clearly wants to tamper with the fed and economic data, which just ads fuel to the fire.

Meanwhile there isn't really a solid alternate to the dollar, so precious metals are default.

Gold and silver is most likely from China buying a massive amount (to decouple from the USD slowly). Unsure about the asset bubble but interest rates are “high” compared to the zero interests days, still low historically. Assets are the best way to wash away inflation (you pay your debt with today money) so could be the reason.

People are afraid of the volatility of the USD, especially with the expected rate cuts coming up, and preferring to buy gold/silver instead.

Tradfi is increasingly becoming a dog shit product.

Advent of FATCA means it's hell for normal Americans to bank overseas.

You're basically locking yourself into a tiny box by carrying tradfi products. Most lower middle class people will never notice because if you do things like "receve paycheck, go to grocery store" then you'll never see all the walls built around you. But people with money notice.
