Fed & interest rates
Small-scale operations account for a fifth of world supply, and their production responds to price rather than policy.
Inflation / CPI
Where inflation destroys wage income, more people turn to informal mining, which adds supply for reasons unrelated to markets.
Bond yields
Informal producers operate without credit, so interest rates never enter their calculations directly.
Safe-haven demand
Informal supply responds to a price rise within weeks, faster than any industrial operation could.
Growth / recession
Informal mining grows in a downturn as other employment shrinks, which is a supply source that behaves backwards.
