Markets Repricing Now as Crisis Bigger than 2008 Unleashed
Markets Repricing Now as Crisis Bigger than 2008 Unleashed
David Lin: 1-30-2026
In a recent in-depth interview with David Lin, Peter Schiff, chief market strategist at Euro Pacific Asset Management and founder of Shift Gold, sounded the alarm on an imminent and potentially catastrophic economic collapse.
According to Schiff, the crisis will be centered on the U.S. dollar and its sovereign debt, dwarfing the 2008 financial crisis in both scale and impact.
Schiff argues that the true bubble is not in gold or silver, as many might believe, but rather in the U.S. dollar, the U.S. bond market, and the broader U.S. economy.
As central banks and private investors increasingly shift away from the dollar and towards precious metals, seen as safe havens and stores of value amid rising inflation and fiscal irresponsibility, gold and silver prices are undergoing a significant repricing.
“The crisis will be predominantly American, with global repercussions benefiting other countries as the U.S. loses its economic dominance,” Schiff warns. This sentiment is echoed in his critique of U.S. fiscal policies and tariffs, which he believes have inflationary effects and represent a political failure to address growing debt and deficits.
The decline of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency is driving a significant shift in the global monetary order.
This, in turn, will affect trade, production, and consumption patterns worldwide. As Schiff notes, the global economic landscape is on the cusp of a major transformation, one that will have far-reaching consequences for investors and economies alike.
In the face of this systemic breakdown, Schiff views gold and silver as the ultimate hedge. He dismisses Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as failed alternatives to gold, citing their lack of true correlation and value preservation.
As the crisis unfolds, Schiff predicts that gold and silver mining stocks, currently undervalued, are poised for significant gains.
Despite recent strong price rallies, most investors remain cautious about precious metals. Schiff advises investors to position themselves in foreign stocks, commodity-linked investments, and precious metals to benefit from the shifting global economic landscape. “The alarm bells are ringing, and it’s time for investors to protect their wealth accordingly,” he urges.
The interview also touched on recent developments in Japan’s bond market and potential repercussions for the U.S. Treasury market. Schiff’s personal investment strategy involves profiting from the decline of the U.S. economy while advocating for sound fiscal policies that he believes will not be implemented.
As the global economic landscape continues to evolve, it’s clear that the status quo is unsustainable. Schiff’s warning is a call to action for investors to recognize the signs of an impending economic collapse and to take steps to protect their wealth. By diversifying into precious metals, foreign stocks, and commodity-linked investments, investors can position themselves for success in a post-dollar-dominated world.
