Fed ADMITS They're TOTALLY WRONG About Inflation

Description

The Fed just admitted inflation is spiraling out of control while refusing to do the one thing that actually works—raise rates—and Powell is banking on hope and fantasy to save the economy, but here's why today's gold selloff is the buying opportunity of a lifetime.- This episode is sponsored by InvestingPRO.

February's Producer Price Index surged 0.7% monthly - more than double expectations - signaling that inflation is accelerating before Trump's war even began driving oil prices higher. Despite this alarming data, the Fed refuses to hike rates and instead clings to fantasies about future rate cuts based on wishful thinking rather than evidence. Schiff argues that gold and silver's massive selloff following the inflation news represents a buying opportunity, as traders fail to understand that rising inflation with stagnant Fed policy creates negative real rates - extremely bullish for precious metals.The episode exposes how the current economic situation is far worse than the 1970s stagflation, with national debt at 125% of GDP compared to just 34% in 1980, making aggressive rate hikes impossible despite inflation running well above the Fed's 2% target. Schiff predicts the national debt could hit $50 trillion during Trump's term as war spending explodes, while the housing bubble shows signs of collapse with mortgage applications plummeting. He dismisses Fed Chair Powell's claims that inflation will magically return to target through "moderate" policy, calling it delusional given that the Fed has been wrong about inflation for five consecutive years while consistently missing their forecasts.Chapters:00:00 Show Intro and Fed Preview01:21 Weak Growth and Rising Inflation05:43 Hot PPI Shocks Gold Markets16:01 Housing Bubble and GSE Risks22:12 FOMC Decision and Market Fallout32:07 Fed Blames Tariffs33:30 Cuts Based on Faith36:36 Oil Shocks and Easy Policy44:05 Stagflation and Debt Trap56:36 Powell Probe and GoldFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/booksSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news#InflationAlert #FedPolicy #GoldInvestingPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
