Gold and silver are stabilizing after last week’s historic paper-market smash, and the real story is what’s coming next: a weaker jobs trend, rising energy, and a tariff regime that’s functionally a tax on everyday Americans.
Peter breaks down the ugly ADP print (and the downward revision), why the “strongest economy ever” narrative doesn’t pass the smell test, and why oil’s turn higher undermines the administration’s last clean talking point on inflation.
Then Peter walks through Scott Bessent’s testimony and why tariffs are politically toxic: officials can’t claim tariffs don’t raise prices while simultaneously admitting removing tariffs lowers prices. That contradiction is the whole game.
Finally, Peter covers the optics and incentives of open graft and self-dealing, why it’s setting a precedent both parties will exploit, and why this mix of affordability pain, weak labor signals, and policy doublespeak is tailor-made to punish the incumbents in the midterms.
