Paul Gold Eagle: Does Gold and Silver Affect the RV?

A2Z Q&A by Bat Ninja:
Do silver and gold affect the RV?
Totally fair question. The short answer: no—silver isn’t a trigger for the RV.
What we’re seeing in silver and gold right now is about global positioning, not a switch being flipped. Central banks, institutions, and large players are hedging against dollar risk, geopolitical tension, and long-term confidence issues in the current system. That creates background pressure, for sure—but it’s not the driver.
The RV / exchange process isn’t market-driven. It’s administrative and operational. It hinges on banking readiness, liquidity sequencing, sovereign and institutional settlements, and controlled access through appointments—not open-market trading or Forex movement (which is why what we’re seeing pre-Forex matters).
So when metals move like this, it’s better read as confirmation that the old system is under stress, not that the RV has suddenly “gone live.”
Think of it like watching the weather while waiting for a scheduled flight. The weather matters—but it doesn’t decide the takeoff time.
That’s why I stay focused on positioning and timing, so we don’t get lost in the noise.

Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY:
They say on television this about the first parliament meeting that's is going to be formed on the 29th. The House of Representatives has completed all technical and all logistical preparations for holding the first session of the 6th parliamentary term. It is scheduled for next Monday.
Mnt Goat The President of the Republic issued a presidential decree on Tuesday setting the date for the first session of the new parliament on December 29...We have been told that Iraq is going to try the 3-year budget again and there will be another tripartite budget for 2026-2028 and it can’t be opened until it is voted on and passed in the new parliament ...Remember the reasoning behind Dr Shabibi telling us that January is the “best opportune time to reinstate the dinar with a significant rate” is that the annual budget its supposed to be ready to open and allocated out to spend in January... obviously, this may NOT going to be the case but it may be close.
Clare Article: "First comment from the Sudanese regarding the dollar exchange rate" Quote: "In a televised interview followed by Baghdad Today, Al-Sudani said: Changing the dollar exchange rate is the sole prerogative of the Central Bank of Iraq, stressing that the government has managed to reduce the gap in the exchange rate between the official and parallel rates, indicating the government’s success in reducing the gap in the exchange rate."
