Why have Gold/Silver values not risen with Inflation?

We've all heard inflation, inflation, inflation for the last two years.  


Why are gold and silver prices relatively flat since then?  


Silver spot price for example has been fluctuating between 24 and 28 for the last two years with absolutely no upward trend.     


How/why is it not slowly valuating with inflation?  Isn't this econ 101 stuff?  


Thanks for reading.

Inflation is an aggregate. Individual goods and services all go up and down in price for their own reasons/their respective supply and demand. In fact it's quite rare that individual goods/services go up exactly as inflation does.
