Can Keynesian Economics Really Prevent Recessions?
SchiffGold | 06 Nov, 2026
This year’s Nobel Prize in economics honored macroeconomic models designed to help governments and central banks smooth out the business cycle through well-timed stimulus. Austrian economic theory points to the uncomfortable truth these models overlook, which is that the central bank’s own monetary expansion is what creates the boom and bust in the first place, […]

The Economists Who Put Government Power Ahead of Freedom
SchiffGold | 06 Nov, 2026
Popular economists like Stephanie Kelton and Mariana Mazzucato lend academic prestige to the idea that deficits do not matter and that bureaucrats can steer innovation better than the free market. Their technocratic vision ignores the private wealth crowded out by state spending and the inflationary transfer of resources to the politically connected, and worst of […]

US Government Has Borrowed $2T in 10 Months
SchiffGold | 06 Nov, 2026
Current Trends The US government has borrowed over $750B in the last three months. This is a massive sum of money, especially after borrowing $800B in the three months prior. At the current pace, the US Government could borrow close to $3T over a 12-month span. Not only is this completely unsustainable, but the problem […]

Constrained Resources Are A Good Thing
SchiffGold | 06 Nov, 2026
Resource constraints are often treated as though they are the root of all evil. If only we could somehow escape them, we would be able to live much more fulfilling lives. People would no longer starve, everyone could have a big beautiful house, and everywhere would be safe. While all of these things would be […]

Peter Schiff: The Fed Can Talk, But It Can’t Act
SchiffGold | 06 Nov, 2026
On Tuesday’s podcast, Peter breaks down the sharp correction hitting gold and silver after their historic run higher, and uses it as a launching pad to question whether the Federal Reserve has any real intention of fighting inflation. He also takes aim at Washington’s spending habits, arguing that neither party is serious about shrinking government, […]

Central Banks Keep Buying Gold, Most of It Off the Books
SchiffGold | 04 Nov, 2026
Global gold demand held near record territory in the third quarter of 2026, with central banks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and rising prices combining to produce one of the strangest demand pictures in years. According to the World Gold Council’s latest report, total global gold demand reached 1,369 tonnes in Q3, down just 1% from a […]

Gold & Silver Morning Update 1/5/2026 | The Bregar Minute
Erik Bregar | 05 Jan, 2026
A very strong start to the week for gold, as you might expect, following the US strike on Venezuela / capture of President Maduro on Sunday. What’s perhaps a little more surprising is the blistering outperformance of copper, silver, platinum, palladium…but to be fair global stock and oil markets aren’t bothered at all, and so […]

Gold & Silver Afternoon Update 12/30/2025 | The Bregar Minute
Erik Bregar | 30 Dec, 2025
A very poor rest of the day for gold. It got whacked back below the October high by algos at the S&P cash open, couldn’t benefit at all from silver’s +4% rally from 10amET into the COMEX close, and overreacted to the downside with a modest US yield uptick following a mixed set of FOMC […]

Gold & Silver Morning Update 12/30/2025 | The Bregar Minute
Erik Bregar | 30 Dec, 2025
More strength than I expected for the precious metals overnight; thanks to more demand at the China open, but perhaps more importantly due to the Chinese government announcing subsidies for electronic vehicles, phones, tablets, smartwatches and smart glasses…all of which consume silver. Past rounds of similar subsidies have led to immediate sales surges, and so we’re […]

Gold & Silver Afternoon Update 12/29/2025 | The Bregar Minute
Erik Bregar | 29 Dec, 2025
An unsurprisingly challenging rest of the day for the precious metals. We saw modest bounces with the stock market since the COMEX closes, but neither metal came anywhere close to re-attacking its overnight range. This hints that there’s a lot of trapped bulls out there who fell for this bogus “bank failure / forced silver […]

Gold & Silver Morning Update 12/29/2025 | The Bregar Minute
Erik Bregar | 29 Dec, 2025
Some absolutely wild post-Christmas trading activity for the precious metals. First, silver and platinum’s incredible +10% rallies on Friday, fueled by an odd rehashing of the China silver export restriction story from October and rumors that a bullion bank was blown out of its silver short position; and now scary -16% & -18% crashes off […]

Gold & Silver Morning Update 12/24/2025 | The Bregar Minute
Erik Bregar | 24 Dec, 2025
Indeed an upside breakout attempt for gold above yesterday’s highs in early Asian trade last night, but this technical achievement was ruined by an obnoxious 4k contract, -1%, bashing off session highs in the final five minutes of the 9pmET hour. There wasn’t a headline catalyst or abrupt negative shift in the broader risk mood. […]

Gold & Silver Afternoon Update 12/23/2025 | The Bregar Minute
Erik Bregar | 23 Dec, 2025
An impressive rebound for gold & silver to round out this Tuesday, thanks in large part to a calming down in bond markets / strong stock market rally following the much weaker-than-expected Present Situation reading in the December US Consumer Confidence report. Silver and PGM markets naturally outperformed amid the risk-on environment, with platinum astonishingly […]

More strength for the precious metals as expected overnight, with Asian demand once again leading the way. Europe was hesitant to chase gold higher though, despite a pronounced decline for US yields and the USD…and this turned out to be the correct move in retrospect because yields and dollar are now shooting higher following the […]
