It's probably nothin' according to the MAGA crowd and the Fed fanboys alike.
But then again, anyone who has been paying attention to the financial metrics for more than two weeks might beg to differ. When you have the following eruption in real time, there is surely an economic earthquake rumbling ominously just below the surface:

A United States executive branch official evading answering questions at a congressional hearing is not a new thing. But, on February 11, Attorney General Pam Bondi took the evasion to a new level.
There she was complaining that the House Judiciary Committee members asking her questions related to the topic of the hearing - oversight of the Justice Department - at which she was testifying should instead be talking up the economic miracle brought about by President Donald Trump.

In Wednesday's episode of The Peter Schiff Show, Peter takes aim at Washington's war spending spree, the markets' strange reactions to developments in the Middle East, and the ways political messaging can move capital. He warns that the real danger to Americans comes from mounting debt and inflation, not foreign actors, and he again emphasizes why sound money and gold matter as hedges in a reckless fiscal environment.

La crise énergétique, déclenchée par l'attaque des États-Unis et d'Israël contre l'Iran, a pris une dimension mondiale avec le blocage du détroit d'Ormuz par l'Iran. En Europe, le continent le plus dépendant de l'énergie au monde, la hausse des prix de l'électricité, du gaz et des carburants porte un coup dur à une industrie déjà en difficulté. La fermeture des entreprises à forte intensité énergétique, particulièrement touchées par la crise, pourrait être envisagée.

As systemic risks rise, what matters is the thickness of one's buffers against bad things happening. Those with wealth, power and privilege have sea walls, the rest of us have crumbling sand castles.
Risk and Privilege are intertwined in ways that define our lives and the system we inhabit. Privilege boils down to being buffered from risk, and this is scale-invariant, meaning that it works in the same way from the individual to the nation-state: wealth and power serve to insulate us from risk.

On Tuesday, Peter appeared on a Zero Hedge debate with Michael Every and Dave Collum to lay out the economic consequences too many policymakers ignore. He argues that decades of monetary expansion, rising deficits and now war spending all point to higher inflation, a weaker economy, and a meaningful re-rating of assets - especially in gold terms. Throughout, he presses the case that sound money and fiscal restraint are the real solutions, not more intervention.

On Wednesday Peter appeared on Fox business to dissect the latest PPI figures and the Fed's newest decision to hold rates steady. Peter argues the Federal Reserve is out of touch, inflation is already running hot, and recent geopolitical shocks will only make a fragile U.S. balance sheet worse. To support his case, he walks listeners through recent price data, the housing market's deep imbalance, and the latest price moves in gold and mining shares.
