The claim that gold has not "exploded higher" during the ongoing Iran war because governments are selling reserves for liquidity is MIXED. While an "Iran war" is indeed ongoing and gold prices have retreated from record highs set before the conflict, authoritative data indicates central banks are overwhelmingly net buyers of gold, not widespread sellers for liquidity.

@StephenMoore It was a low number that resulted entirely from the birth/death model assumptions. Those jobs will be revised away later. Had the same report came out when Biden was president you would have criticized it. Hypocrisy doesn't help our cause.
Peter Schiff's claims that the April 2026 jobs report was "low" and "resulted entirely" from the birth/death model are false; the report exceeded expectations, and while the model contributes, it does not solely account for the reported jobs. However, concerns about the birth/death model's historical overestimations and potential future revisions are valid.
