Gold Fell on War News. Here’s Why That’s Bullish

Description: Peter discusses the Iran war, the market reaction in gold and silver, the plunge in mining stocks, the surge in oil, Bitcoin’s dead-cat bounce, weak jobs data, rising inflation risks, the coming recession, de-dollarization, and why he believes this selloff is an opportunity to buy, not a reason to panic.Peter Schiff breaks down why gold and silver sold off during the first week of the Iran war — and why he believes the market is getting it wrong. While many investors expected war to send precious metals sharply higher, gold finished the week down and mining stocks were hit even harder. Peter explains why this looks like a classic buy-the-rumor, sell-the-fact reaction, not the end of the bull market.He argues that the real consequences of war have not yet been fully priced in: higher oil, bigger deficits, more money printing, stickier inflation, a weaker economy, and a weaker dollar over time. Peter also explains why he believes the political fallout could be severe, why Republicans may pay a heavy price in the midterms, and why the long-term winners remain gold, silver, mining stocks, and foreign markets positioned for de-dollarization.Chapters:00:00 War Context And Setup02:08 Weekly Metals Selloff04:14 Buy Rumor Sell Fact06:52 Oil Spike And Optimism09:38 Energy Reality Check11:37 War Escalation And Politics15:34 Stocks Dollar Bitcoin Moves17:52 Deficits Inflation And Gold24:53 Weak Economy And Jobs Shock33:07 Midterms Outlook And WrapFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffGet more gold & silver now: https://www.schiffgold.com1-888-GOLD-160 (465-3160)Open a T Gold account: https://www.tgold.comOpen a managed account: https://europac.comListen to The Peter Schiff Show: https://schiffradio.comFollow the main channel: https://youtube.com/peterschiffOur Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/GOLD* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
