Gold bull and longtime Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff said Friday that the simultaneous rally in gold, silver, oil and Bitcoin (BTC) reflects a broader loss of confidence in the Federal Reserve's commitment to returning inflation to its 2% target.
"Gold hitting $4,600, silver near $70, oil over $87, and Bitcoin's earlier spike above $79K show the Fed has lost all credibility on its commitment to returning inflation to 2%," Schiff wrote in a post on X. "Treasury made it clear the Fed will choose inflation, so investors are choosing their preferred hedge."
