Price depends on supply and demand - both of the commodity and the currency. Flooding a market with trillions of dollars should automatically increase the prices of everything, unless you use sophisticated algorithms to suppress the commodity prices. Best way to know whether a price increase is due to demand/supply or currency supply is by comparing the demand supply graph with actual price graph.
For example, this graph shows the actual surge vs projected surge based on supply and demand.
But this post is showing lithium prices increase since 2014…
Draw it in a graph and you will understand.
I agree with you that the lithium surge is artificial and not organic. That definitely doesn't follow natural trend lines. I just don't personally believe it's a good indicator of true inflation rate. I could easily point to other resources that have adjusted in values 100 different ways and argue they are the true inflationary indicators. I am certain inflation is much worse than what's being reported, but I don't think it's 2,000% (which is about how Lithium has "inflated" in that time range)
You are right. Its not as much an indication of "real inflation" as it is an indication of systemically rigged markets.
All that said, I think your post was more hyperbole or commentary rather than a literal claim of hyper inflation, so this is probably all moot discussion anyways
