The trend of FLA getting more expensive is the result of shortage of all kind of raw materials in the last decade or so. Rapidly growing economy and population of already over-populated China and India are the main factors. This will not stop - not their population growth anyway - and metals will become more and more expensive.
AGM are getting more expensive too. There are occasional discounts due to re-badging, including re-badging after selling the brand and/or moving the manufacturing to China (ex. Panasonic became UPG) but the trend is still the same, more expensive metal = more expensive batteries. Look at the prices of any given model today and 10 years ago and you will see.
