does seem to like bad news but you can't count on it to follow the news cycle.
The most recent price rises seem to have originated from a large buying spike in early April. Whether this was due to a whale pumping it or a larger number of speculators reading the economic tea leaves is hard to tell. Similarly, we don't know if this heralds a return to unbelievably high prices or if it will crash and burn long before then.
I suspect that FOMO is more likely to be driving the current trend than the trade war.
