<description>CPI triples to 0.9%, consumer sentiment hits an all-time low, and the Fed is quietly running QE — stagflation isn't coming, it's here.

Gold ended the week at $4,745 with silver at $75.76 and mining stocks up 5%, all buoyed by the Taco Tuesday ceasefire that sent markets surging mid-week. Peter Schiff argues the ceasefire is a win for Iran and that Trump was looking for a way out of threats he could never carry out — but the real story is the inflation data.

March CPI came in at 0.9% month-over-month, tripling February's reading and pushing year-over-year inflation to 3.3%. The Fed's balance sheet has quietly expanded by nearly $200 billion in 2026 — quantitative easing in everything but name. Q4 GDP was revised down to 0.5%, making 2025's full-year growth just 2.1% — lower than any year under Biden. Consumer sentiment plunged to 47.6, the lowest reading in the history of the survey. Schiff connects the dots: M2 money supply growing at 5%, a proposed 50% defense budget increase, and a Fed that will be forced to cut rates regardless of inflation all point to a stagflation environment where gold and silver are headed substantially higher.</description>

CPI Hits 3.3%, Consumer Sentiment Hits Record Low - Stagflation Is Here

<description>Peter Schiff reviews a volatile week in markets, arguing gold and silver likely put in a bottom after briefly breaking prior lows and closing higher. He contrasts that with major stock indexes sliding deeper into correction territory, which he says could turn into a bear market if the war drags on. Schiff focuses on oil as the key driver, tying price spikes to bond selloffs, rising Treasury yields, and renewed inflation pressure.

He criticizes shifting public messaging around the conflict and argues the economic and political costs will force an eventual endgame driven more by markets than diplomacy. Schiff also challenges the “Bitcoin as digital gold” narrative, pointing to Bitcoin’s weakness versus gold and warning of a sharper breakdown if key levels fail.

He closes by framing larger deficits, money printing, and policy responses as structurally bullish for precious metals, while warning that higher yields and inflation could stress housing, stocks, and the dollar.</description>

Gold & Silver Bottom, Bitcoin Cracks as War and Oil Spike Hit Markets

<description>Peter Schiff explains why gold’s worst week since 1983 could be the best buying opportunity yet as inflation, war, and housing risks mount.

Peter Schiff argues that the sharp collapse in gold and silver is being misread by traders who still believe hotter inflation and tougher Fed talk are bearish for precious metals. He says the real signal is the opposite: producer prices are reaccelerating, oil is surging because of the Iran war, the Fed is trapped, and real interest rates are set to fall as inflation outruns any politically tolerable rate response.

He also links the selloff to a broader macro breakdown, including rising Treasury yields, a weakening labor market, an overvalued housing market, looming trouble for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, expanding war deficits, and renewed money printing ahead. Schiff’s view is that the current pullback in gold, silver, and mining stocks is not the end of the bull market, but a rare buying opportunity before stagflation, de-dollarization, and a deeper dollar crisis push precious metals much higher.</description>

Gold’s Worst Week Since 1983 Is Actually Bullish

<description>Gold falls as war drives oil higher, but Peter Schiff says stagflation, deficits, and a weaker dollar are setting up gold’s next major surge.

Peter Schiff explains why the latest pullback in gold, silver, and mining stocks is not a sign that the bull market is over, but a temporary reaction to rising oil prices, higher bond yields, and a stronger dollar. He argues that markets are focusing too narrowly on delayed Fed rate cuts while missing the bigger picture: war-driven deficits, stubborn inflation, a weakening economy, and mounting pressure on the Federal Reserve to eventually monetize even more debt.

He also breaks down soft GDP growth, rising PCE inflation, weakness in housing, and what he sees as the widening gap between Trump’s economic claims and the underlying data. Schiff’s core thesis is that stagflation, war spending, and long-term dollar weakness remain strongly bullish for gold and silver, while the current selloff is creating another buying opportunity.</description>
