Schiff w/ Diesen: Defaulting and Inflation are Our Only Options
SchiffGold | 19 Oct, 2026
In his latest interview with Glenn Diesen, Peter tackles the narrative that the US economy is thriving simply because President Trump insists it is. He walks through the deeper rot underneath the surface-level boasting, covering America’s addiction to debt, the unsustainable trade deficit, China’s retreat from US Treasuries, and the looming reality that the national […]

Federal Budget The Federal Government publishes the spending and revenue numbers on a monthly basis. The charts and tables below give an in-depth review of the Federal Budget, showing where the money is coming from, where it is going to, and the surplus or deficit.

Stop Blaming Mortgage Rates for Slumping Home Sales
SchiffGold | 17 Oct, 2026
Housing activity has frozen as the average 30-year mortgage rate climbed from 6.2 percent last October to 7.4 percent this month, but a rate of 7 percent is historically unremarkable and only looks high because the Fed spent years suppressing rates with quantitative easing. With long-term yields likely to stay elevated under $40 trillion in […]

The Austrian Cure for a Broken Economy
SchiffGold | 17 Oct, 2026
Inflation, high prices, stagnant wages, and recurring financial crises are usually treated as separate problems, but Austrian economists argue they are connected consequences of interventions that distort the price signals a market economy relies on to coordinate itself. Sound money, free prices, secure property, open competition, capital accumulation, and profit-and-loss discipline are the key to […]

Schiff on CapitalCosm: Trump’s Economy is a Fantasy
SchiffGold | 16 Oct, 2026
Peter recently joined Danny on the CapitalCosm podcast to discuss the state of American politics and the economy heading into the midterms. He takes aim at Trump’s self-mythologizing rhetoric, the bipartisan appetite for reckless spending, and the political risks facing Bitcoin, all while explaining why mounting debt and inflation continue to make the case for […]

Peter Schiff: Socialism Simply Can’t Work
SchiffGold | 16 Oct, 2026
In Wednesday’s episode of his podcast, Peter walks through the self-reinforcing cycle of deficits, inflation, and interest rates that he believes is cornering the U.S. economy, and explains why rising inflation numbers should be sending investors into gold rather than out of it. He also touches on the deteriorating housing market, offers a refresher on […]

Schiff w/ Grabarskyy: Consumer Confidence is Cratering
SchiffGold | 16 Oct, 2026
In a recent interview on the Wealth Building Blueprint channel, Peter joined Vladyslav Grabarskyy to discuss several warning signs flashing across the economy, from record-low consumer sentiment to a stock market propped up almost entirely by a handful of AI darlings. The duo connects unsustainable government debt, rising interest rates, and the growing case for […]

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 […]

Erik Bregar | 23 Dec, 2025
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 […]
