Peter's Blog

Last night, Peter took to YouTube for a special livestream on gold’s recent price action and a few headlines from early this week. He argues the mainstream media and retail investors seem to have lost sight of the metal’s explosive potential. While everyone else is busy hyping Bitcoin, the smart money is piling into gold, […]

Yesterday Peter joined host Jesse Day on his show, Commodity Culture, to discuss the upcoming election, the historic decline of the dollar relative to gold, and a possible return to quantitative easing. They also devote time to global affairs, namely recent violence in the Middle East and movement in the Chinese equity market. 

Last week Peter joined Oliver Renick on his show, “Market on Close,” on the Schwab Network. They discuss gold’s stellar year in 2024 and where the metal is heading, and Peter also comments on the price of crude oil, treasury yields, and the Fed’s recent rate cut. 

Last week, Peter appeared on This Week in Mining with Jay Martin. They spend a good chunk of time discussing the logic (or illogic) or price controls, de-dollarization, and the possibility of a commodities boom in the post-COVID economy. This is Peter’s second appearance on Jay’s show this year. You can view his first interview […]

While I believe there will be major corrections as some of these factors come back down to earth, the most important one — […]

This time Peter tackles Jerome Powell’s speech from Wednesday, in which he announced that the Fed is holding the federal funds rate between 5.25 and 5.5%. He also briefly discusses Bitcoin’s pullback and the media’s lies about Donald Trump. 

Gold rallied by over $50 an ounce last Friday and the rally has extended into this week with the yellow metal moving back above $1,700 an ounce. In his podcast, Peter Schiff explained why he thinks that gold has bottomed and this is a significant reversal.

There are reasons to be bullish on silver, not just because of its role as a monetary metal and inflation hedge, but also due to its importance as an industrial metal. Doug Casey recently talked about silver’s many uses and what it means for the future with International Man.

As highlighted last month, short positioning in gold was at the highest level since April 2019. This laid the seeds for a potential short squeeze. While a squeeze did unfold, it was brief. Sellers have regained control of the market and are driving the price back down. Please note: the COTs report was published 9/2/2022 for […]
