Why Has the Upcoming Fed Meeting Not Bumped Gold More?
The odds are set at 94% that the federal reserve will cut rates following the September 17th meeting. Trump has pressured Powell for this for months, and if the Wednesday meeting confirms these rate cuts, it will be a historic step for the Fed. Never before has Executive Branch’s control of money been seen so […]

June Job Loss Signals Trouble Ahead
With another round of jobs data released last week, another revision to June’s numbers reveal two startling truths. First, jobs actually decreased in June, contrary to the initial estimates. Second, and arguably worse, the Trump administration’s cover-up of these numbers is as bad as critics thought. The following article was originally published by the Mises […]

Jobs Mirage: BLS Slashes 911,000 Positions from the Economy
The Bureau of Labor Statistics dropped a quiet bombshell on September 9, unveiling a preliminary benchmark revision that erased 911,000 jobs from March 2025 payroll tallies. The 0.6% markdown is roughly triple the average adjustment of the past decade and instantly casts doubt on months of breezy “resilient labor market” headlines. Almost the entire shortfall […]

Schiff on Commodity Culture: Gold Breaks $3,600
On Monday’s episode of the Commodity Culture podcast, Peter joins host Jesse Day and walks listeners through what he sees as a pivotal moment for precious metals and for the dollar. He argues that gold quietly began a new leg of its bull market in 2024, that the labor market is weaker than officials admit, […]

El Salvador Finally Buys Gold
After its Bitcoin-buying spree, El Salvador has made its largest gold purchase in over three decades, diversifying its holdings into real money. Across the world, Bitcoin evangelists are joining central banks and funneling capital into history’s one and only hard money asset. If they were smart, El Salvador would trade all their so-called “digital gold” […]

Investors Flocked to Gold ETFs in August
According to a report from the World Gold Council, global investors poured another US$5.5 billion into physically backed gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) during August, extending a three-month buying streak and pushing total assets under management (AUM) to a record US$407 billion. Holdings climbed by 53 tonnes to 3,692 tonnes—the highest month-end tally since mid-2022—even as […]

Peter Schiff: Fed Independence in the Crosshairs
On his latest podcast, Peter takes aim at a string of recent policy choices that are undermining the dollar, inflating asset bubbles, and exposing taxpayers to risk. He walks through the latest jobs data, the anomaly of easing into an inflationary cycle, the privatization of profits at the expense of public losses, and the constitutional […]

Prepare for New Gold Highs (Just Don’t Dance)
Gold hit a fresh record high in the wake of Jerome Powell’s dovish comments that the Fed will consider cutting interest rates at its upcoming September FOMC meeting. As the Fed is forced into accommodative policy and possibly even eventual QE, get ready for even more record highs for the yellow metal. But just don’t […]

Money Supply Stalls Amid Weak Jobs and Rising Delinquencies
With recent economic data pointing to an uncertain economic future, M2, a primary measure of the money supply, shows a flattening in the supply of money. But, as more precise measures of money show us, this trend may indicate a latent recession in the dollar-fueled economy. The following article was originally published by the Mises […]

Schiff on VRIC Media: Hike Rates, Back Gold, Dump Bitcoin
In a recent VRIC Media interview, Peter lays out a straightforward critique of modern monetary policy and the political choices driving today’s economy. He connects low interest rates, tariffs, and misguided enthusiasm for crypto to a brewing misallocation of resources, and points listeners toward gold and real assets as sensible hedges. He starts by taking […]
