Seems that www.alphavantage.co has suffered a regression regarding
currency conversion from from Gold (XAU) & Silver (XAG) to any resulting
currency other than USD since approx. the 14th Aug.
This has worked for the last 8+ months and the last successful lookup
transaction for me was on the 14th Aug. It has failed every lookup
since.
