The same can be said about the 'price of gold' or of any other scarce or precious commodity.

We think that the 'price of gold' has risen dramatically, as expressed in dollars.

But turn the telescope around: It's too unnerving or disturbing to think that the value of the dollar has dropped dramatically as compared to precious metals.

Maybe that's why they are called 'precious'.
