Why Equities Just Might not be the Same Anymore

While for decades, the historically high returns of the stock market have been used to justify putting more money into the stock market, some underlying factors have changed that make this constant growth story no longer as sure of a narrative. While total returns have been buoyed by several massive companies that manage to keep […]

Schiff on Palisades Gold Radio: Fed Returns to QE While Metals Climb

Last week, Peter joined Palisades Gold Radio to argue that the recent Fed moves mark a return to balance-sheet expansion and that the implications for bonds, the dollar, and precious metals are profound. He walks listeners through the mechanics of what the Fed is doing, the risks of yield-curve pressure, why he thinks the current […]

Gold and Silver: Fundamentally Strong but Technically Stretched

Technical Analysis of Gold and Silver This analysis attempts to look at different metrics to understand the current momentum in the gold and silver markets. It is meant as an analysis on potential price direction in the very short-term (a few weeks to 1-2 months). The last two technical analysis pieces have been spot on. […]

Silver Surges to Record Highs

The Federal Reserve claims quantitative easing is over — but this week proved otherwise. In this SchiffGold Friday Market Wrap, Peter Schiff explains why the Fed’s new Treasury-buying program is QE in everything but name, and why this shift is already sending gold and silver sharply higher. Despite rate cuts, long-term yields are rising, the […]

Two Truths and a Lie From Trump’s 2025 Macro Policy

Trump’s tariff regime has led to an extremely unique economic situation. While inflation for some goods is high, many other goods have little inflation, and new job creation is lagging. Any Keynesian economist could weasel their way around this, but it gives compelling evidence against the assumptions of their most revered models. The Phillips curve […]

Peter Schiff: The Fed Welcomes QE Back

On Thursday’s episode of The Peter Schiff Show, Peter walks through the Federal Reserve’s stealthy pivot on monetary policy and explains why that move matters more for inflation and markets than talk of tariffs. He also highlights how precious metals — particularly silver and mining stocks — are leading this leg of the bull market, […]

The Economics of Affordability: Why Government Can’t Make Life Cheaper

Politicians on both sides have found a new mantra to address concerns about the economy: “affordability.” Economics shows us how these same politicians are responsible for inflation, taxation, and regulation– three forces that inevitably make goods and services less affordable. The following article was originally published by the Mises Institute. The opinions expressed do not […]

Money Supply Surges to 3-Year High as Fed Quietly Eases Policy

With the market betting on a rate cut at this week’s FOMC meeting, many are hoping for another few months of easy monetary policy. Money supply growth data, however, shows how monetary policy is already too free, and the money supply is already growing too much. The following article  was originally published by the Mises […]

Fed Trims Rates Again—Gold Vaults Past $4,200 Anyway

In a hotly-anticipated announcement, the Federal Open Market Committee shaved its federal-funds target by another quarter point on December 10th, setting the range at 3.50 – 3.75 percent. Fed officials insist the U.S. economy is still expanding at a “moderate pace,” yet the same statement concedes that job gains have cooled and unemployment inched higher […]

Why Silver is Outperforming Gold (Again)

Silver’s impressive gains have left it, yet again, outpacing gold by around 50% year-to-date. This is a common pattern for the metal, which has historically tended to outperform gold during certain stages of bull markets.  Just as silver has done before, it’s capitalizing on the same macroeconomic conditions that have been a boon for gold, […]
