Schiff concludes by encouraging investors to consider gold and gold stocks amidst the current economic trends.

Discussing Trump's proposal to annex Canada, trade deficits, Biden's inflation handling, higher commodity prices, and challenges with U.S. economic policies.Download the CFO's Guide to AI and Machine Learning at https://netsuite.com/goldIn this episode, Peter Schiff addresses the series of statements by Donald Trump regarding potential U.S. annexation of Canada and critiques the adverse impacts of Trump's and Biden's economic policies.

He emphasizes the ongoing structural imbalances, the role of government borrowing, and anticipates future impacts on the economy, urging a focus on precious metals and critical commodities for stability in turbulent times.

Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news long term interest rates are rising and have much further to go.But first, American private businesses added +122,000 workers to their payrolls in December, the least in four months, compared to 146,000 in November, according to the precursor ADP Employment Report. That was below forecasts of +140,000. Hiring slowed in several industries and employment in manufacturing shrank for the third straight month. Employment growth was strong among large businesses in the West. Pay gains slowed slightly but are actually quite high, up +4.6% for those who stay in a job, up +7.1% for those who change jobs.Meanwhile, initial jobless claims rose on the expected seasonal basis to 305,000 last week, but much less than those seasonal factors would have indicated. 2.175 mln people are on these jobless benefits now, almost exactly the same level as a year ago. (On a headline, seasonally-adjusted basis, initial claims 'fell', and by more than expected.)Also falling were American mortgage applications, the fourth straight weekly retreat. Their benchmark 30 year fixed home loan rate almost touched 7% last week, deterring potential borrowers. Until the Trump risk goes out of long term benchmark rates, this is going to be a problem for the American housing market - and in fact all real estate transactions and other asset purchases that are valued based in yield.And those rising yields are now extending to very long-dated maturities. The US Treasury 30 year bond auction today came in with a yield of 4.87%, up from the 4.48% at the prior equivalent event just a month ago. The auction was well supported, but less to than that earlier one.The rise in longer term bond yields and interest rates is a global one. At its core is a demographic shift and ageing populations. But the Trump return has focused investors on the long term risks and they are back demanding a premium for that. Companies are also issuing more longer term debt, so there is a supply element to the trend. The Biden Treasury tended to prioritise shorter maturities in its fund raising, but the incoming Trump Treasury has already signaled it will go long. That will add to the supply pressure, and will spill out internationally. Pity American homeowners with 30 year mortgages.In China, they are getting more proactive ahead of the expected Trump Tariffs, and reactive about their stuttering economy. They announced an expanded set of taxpayer subsidies for a wider range of consumer products, hoping to spur sluggish consumer spending. They have expanded the eight-category subsidy program to now twelve categories, now including dishwashers, rice cookers and microwaves, which will get a 20% discount from existing sales prices.Overall, it is a program that has grown to NZ$2.8 bln, and still expanding.In fact, this announcement was part of a much wider stimulus effort. They are battling consumer anxiety, a tougher challenge than the previous democratic yearnings.Meanwhile, China is aggressively defending the yuan. It has held the official rate to the USD fixed since early November at 7.19. It last had a fixed peg in 2008-2010. Unfortunately for them offshore trading has it now at 7.35 and depreciating.In the EU, producer prices rose +1.7% in November from October, the biggest monthly rise since September 2022. A seasonal rise in energy costs was the cause. Year on year, the EU PPI was -1.1% lower.And staying in the EU, economic sentiment which had been stable for most of 2024, fell in December. Not a huge dip, but a notable one.In Australia, their monthly CPI indicator rose +2.3% in November from a year ago, after a +2.1% rise in the prior two months. Analysts estimates were for a +2.2% rise and the November since August, partly due to the timing of government electricity rebates. Most households received a single rebate payment instead of two in November. Still, the latest inflation level has remained within the central bank's target range of 2 to 3% for the 4th month in a row.And in maybe something of a surprise, there were 344,000 job vacancies in November in Australia, up by +14,000 from August. That is up by +4.2% and was was the first rise since May 2022, when job vacancies reached their historical peak. However, year-on-year the declines is almost -10%.In New Zealand we got the benefit of strong commodity price gains in 2024. ANZ reports that overall commodity prices finished 2024 up 15% from a year ago. All sectors except forestry achieved gains during the year but the largest were made by dairy (+19%) and meat (+23%). However, these sectors were more subdued in the December month. In NZD the rises were even more impressive, up +29% for dairy and up +35% for meat, year on year.The UST 10yr yield is now at just on 4.68%, and little-changed from yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$2669/oz and up +US$18 from this time yesterday.Oil prices are down -50 USc from this time yesterday at just on US$73.50/bbl in the US while the international Brent price is at just under US$76.50.The Kiwi dollar starts today still at 56.1 USc and down -40 bps from this time yesterday. Against the Aussie we are down -10 bps to 90.3 AUc. Against the euro we are up +20 bps at 54.4 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 66.9 and down -20 bps from this time yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$94,646 and down -3.2% from this time on yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at +/- 1.7%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news the economic world its returning after the end of year holiday season, and finding the 2024 worries are still here in 2025.First up however, the first post-New Year holiday week back will be a relatively quiet one, but there are still some important things to cover, and few of the key ones are local. But the week culminates with the December US non-farm payrolls report in the US, and that will increasingly dominate how the week goes. Markets currently expect a modest +150,000 rise in US jobs. That is close to 'average' over the past ten years. But don't forget that is the seasonally-adjusted result. Actual payroll shrink in the month usually, and that average over the past ten years is by -160,000. That is what we will be watching, because fewer actual people employed could have an outsized impact on metrics like retail sales and the like.The US will also release December services PMIs. A slightly softer expansion is expected. And China will release its important new yuan loan data, and the expectations are for another weak result. Eyes will also be on India's industrial production data, something that has been softish recently.Just as important for us, we will get more December real estate activity data this week. We will also get another full dairy auction on Wednesday, and the intervening Pulse results for both SMP and WMP have shown a marked softness since the last full auction event. And Barfoots are likely to release their December results later in the week.Over the weekend, the FAO World Food Price Index reported a -0.5% fall in December from an upwardly revised November. Dairy prices fell -0.7% but meat prices rose +0.4%. Overall this index is +6.6% higher than year-ago levels with dairy up +17% and meat up +7.0% on that annual basis.On the commodity front, both lithium and iron ore prices slipped on concerns about the prospects for the Chinese economy. The Shanghai stock exchange fell yet again, by -1.6% on Friday to be down a very sharp -5.5% for the week. And the benchmark yield for Chinese government bonds slumped to a new record low of 1.60% for the 10 year. The yuan fell, testing its lowest level since 2007 after their central bank stopped defending 7.3 to the USD.So China is ramping up its subsidy program for consumer durables, trying to spark some extra consumption activity.And China's central bank said late Friday during a quarterly meeting of its monetary policy committee that it will cut banks' reserve requirement ratio and interest rates at the “proper time”.So China is starting the New Year on the back foot.Across all reporting countries, the global factory PMI contracted slightly in December, shifting from the slight expansion in November. Good expansions in India, Taiwan, Canada, and China (among eight others) was offset and more by retreats in the US, Australia and especially the Europe (among seven others). On balance, it was soft new order levels that is turning the global tide.In the US, a good rise in new orders saw the widely-watched ISM factory PMI rise by 0.9 points in December from the previous month to record only a very minor contraction and very much better than was expected. The result reflected the softest pace of contraction in the US manufacturing sector since March. Oddly, the narrative for the internationally-benchmarked S&P/Markit PMI was the inverse with weaker new orders and slipping output. However, both surveys landed at the same spot, reporting a very minor contraction.US vehicle sales ended the year on a strong note, running at a 16 mln annualised rate. EV sales accounted for 9.0% of those, and a surge in demand for EVs helped heavyweight GM claim the top spot for all cars and now second only to Tesla in EVs. Tesla slipped back in the final quarter. (For reference, NZ EV sales in 2024 were 7.3%.)Over the weekend, two Fed governors (Daly and Kugler) both reiterated that the battle to control US inflation is not yet won. Another was more positive, but thought restrive rates should still stay in place until things are clearer.In Canada, their factory PMI delivered a solid performance with good new order levels and rising output contributing to a rising expansion.In Australia, SE NSW and NE Victoria have been hit by a headwave with temperatures as high as 45oC. But a wind-change has relieved things today. Bushfire season is well underway there.Containerised freight rates rose marginally last week (+3% overall), built on a +7% surge on Trans Pacific rates from China to the USWC. Traders are trying to beat what are expected to be new tariffs from the incoming US Administration. Bulk cargo rates stopped falling this week, essentially holding at an 18 month low.The UST 10yr yield is now at just on 4.60%, and up +1 bp from Saturday. The price of gold will start today at US$2639/oz and little-changed (-US$1) from this time Saturday.Oil prices are unchanged from this time Saturday at just on US$74/bbl in the US while the international Brent price is still just on US$76.50. Both are up +US$2.50 since this time last week and at a two-month high.The Kiwi dollar starts today just on 56.1 USc and unchanged from yesterday, but down -20 bps from a week ago. Against the Aussie we are down -10 bps to 90.2 AUc. Against the euro we are also down -10 bps at 54.4 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 66.8 and down -10 bps from this time Saturday - but essentially unchanged from a week ago.The bitcoin price starts today at US$98,070 and up +0.1% from this time on Saturday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low at +/- 0.8%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

In September, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates for the first time in four years. They cut rates by a half point to support the economy. But the move is likely to not play a role in stimulating the ag economy as farmers face low grain prices, explains agricultural banker Jeff Wilke of Green Bay. Wilke is the chair of the Agricultural Banking Section within the Wisconsin Bankers Association. He says right now, his customers are focused on their balance sheets, increasing farm efficiencies, and succession plans.

In this episode Kara and Jordan discuss animals in ancient Egyptian society. What does the archaeological evidence tell us about the ancient Egyptians' attitudes and practices towards non-human members of their society? Show notesHerodotus Book II, 65-66There are many household animals; and there would be many more, were it not for what happens to the cats. When the females have kittened they will not consort with the males; and these seek them but cannot get their will of them; so their device is to steal and carry off and kill the kittens (but they do not eat what they have killed). The mothers, deprived of their young and desiring to have more will then consort with the males; for they are creatures that love offspring. And when a fire breaks out very strange things happen to the cats. The Egyptians stand round in a broken line, thinking more of the cats than of quenching the burning; but the cats slip through or leap over the men and spring into the fire. When this happens, there is great mourning in Egypt. Dwellers in a house where a cat has died a natural death shave their eyebrows and no more; where a dog has so died, the head and the whole body are shaven.Oracular amuletic decree (ISAC, Chicago, Illinois)Veterinary Papyrus Janssen, “Commodity Prices from the Ramesside Period” including animals The Temple Cats of Philae Island Organization Facebook and Instagram Get full access to Ancient/Now at ancientnow.substack.com/subscribe

Combine and four-wheel drive tractor sales ended 2023 up slightly while sales of small tractors were down — in both the U.S. and Canada “As we look ahead to 2024. we’re... Read More

Many experts have said the agricultural economy has grown softer in the last 6-8 months. Nate Kauffman, senior vice president and Omaha branch executive with the Kansas City Federal Reserve, says it starts with lower commodity prices.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

- Commodity Prices are down.  This will result in slightly lower MPCI premiums (15-20%), but it also means much lower per acre guarantees than it did in 2023.  $200 an acre less on corn and $100 an acre less on beans.  Unfortunately, input costs are about the same. I included a quick spreadsheet where I used ISU's estimated costs of production to come up with an implied level of MPCI coverage that would be needed to cover costs. You can see the big differences in '23 and '24 - it is not pretty.- Any good crop insurance agent's first job is to find a level of coverage that can cover input costs.  That was easy in '21-'23.  In 2024, it will be impossible for a majority of farmers - especially if they are not willing to buy higher coverages. So we might be stuck just trying to come close to covering inputs. Farmer instinct's may be to back off of crop insurance in order to save a few bucks, but they really should be looking at more ways to keep losses to a minimum.- So we might need to buy higher coverages.  What are our options?  85%, SCO (86% county based), ECO (95% county based), and private (unsubsidized) add-on coverages.  Folks who bought ECO on Corn in 2023 should be pretty happy.  Prices fell enough that even counties with above average yields will be getting ECO payments.   SCO and ECO have both grown in popularity over their short history and I think we will continue to see them grow in the coming years.FMH also has a couple of add-on coverages that work in tandem with SCO or ECO that are pretty good values.  They are called SCO+ and ECO+.  I can really nerd out on these, but we may not want to get this deep.- SCO is an economical way to buy up, but you can only have it when you have elected the PLC program at FSA. Both ARC and PLC programs are more relevant now than they were in the past several years.  They are far from a crop insurance replacement, but they may come into play in 2024.- High level MPCI products are not always needed for good risk management, but they are always a good value because of the subsidy.  History proves farmers will get back more than they put in if they remain in the same programs long enough.  This is true for all subsidized crop insurance plans.- Private Products like Hail and Wind have not changed much and I don't know of any significant rate changes across the country.- The use of precision data to report acres, production, and complete claims continues to grow.  The typical farmer will reduce premium (FSA acres tend to be overstated) and grow APHs (Dividing the same production by fewer acres). Claims are also completed significantly faster. - FMH itself has a unique story.  We were founded as a mutual insurance company by a group of farmers in the late 1800s in Early, IA.  They were frustrated with losing crops due to hail so they pooled together financial resources to be paid out to those who had the largest hail losses.  The majority of board members and president at that time were from the same family - the Rutledge family.   The Rutledge's still run the company today and have for the entire 130+ years.This last bit seems odd given crop insurance is unique to the American Farmer, but a high majority of crop insurance companies (I think 11 out of the current 14) are run by larger reinsurers that are foreign entities.  On the other hand FMH is a mutual owned by our private policyholders.  So for this reason - we call ourselves "America's Crop Insurance Company."I also thought of another good story from the playgrounds of Aurelia if you will allow me to indulge.
