Exploding Deficit
- The US government's fiscal position is worsening, with a budget deficit of $624 billion in just two months of fiscal 2025.
- This equates to a larger stimulus than during the COVID shutdown, raising concerns about future inflation.
Worsening Inflation
- Inflation is higher than expected across CPI, PPI, and import-export prices, indicating a worsening trend.
- Peter Schiff argues this shows the Fed's inflation fight is lost, despite the market's misinterpretation.
Gold and Inflation Paradox
