Peter Schiff appeared on RT last night to discuss Janet Yellen’s testimony, the Federal Reserve’s schedule for raising interest rates, the direction of the US economy, and stock buy backs that indicate a bubble in the stock market.

After her testimony to Congress this week, the mainstream media reported that Janet Yellen has put the Federal Reserve on the path to raising interest rates. However, Peter Schiff digs into Yellen’s official testimony from this week, showing beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Fed hasn’t even begun to think about a rate hike. It’s all right there in Yellen’s official prepared remarks. Peter also addresses the ridiculous popular notion that inflation is necessary for economic growth.

James Grant, Founder of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer, spoke with Kitco about his disappointment in the current price of gold. He places most of the blame on central banking, and the market’s inability to understand the long-term consequences of monetary manipulation. However, Grant believes it won't be long before the world wakes up to the realities of this manipulation and returns to gold as a safe-haven investment.
The gold price, is to me, the reciprocal of the world’s faith in the words, deeds of these central bankers… The lower the confidence [in central banking], the higher the gold price.
“I, for one, can’t imagine why anyone would have confidence in the doctrines of central banking, predicated as they are on the manipulation of prices. Interest rates are prices. Central banks are in the business now, more than ever, of manipulating interest rates. They are inflating asset markets. It seems to me that the world will eventually see that these policies are non-starters.”
