Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Anti-America Strains Rise as JP Morgan Predicts US Dollar Future

Despite de-dollarization campaigns, JPMorgan says the U.S. dollar’s dominance remains entrenched for decades to come.

JPMorgan’s Dollar Dominance Outlook
JPMorgan analysts argue that the U.S. dollar’s global supremacy is not easily displaced. Their research points to deep and liquid capital markets, rule of law, predictable legal systems, and robust USD liquidity as foundations of dollar dominance.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Anti-America Strains Rise as JP Morgan Predicts US Dollar Future

Despite de-dollarization campaigns, JPMorgan says the U.S. dollar’s dominance remains entrenched for decades to come.

JPMorgan’s Dollar Dominance Outlook
JPMorgan analysts argue that the U.S. dollar’s global supremacy is not easily displaced. Their research points to deep and liquid capital markets, rule of law, predictable legal systems, and robust USD liquidity as foundations of dollar dominance.

While dollar reserves fell from 73% in 2001 to 58.4% in 2023, the share has stabilized since 2021. JPMorgan concludes that fears of a rapid U.S. dollar collapse are overstated, saying erosion of its role would take decades, not years.

Trump’s Escalating Anti-BRICS Stance
President Donald Trump has sharpened rhetoric against BRICS nations, threatening 100% tariffs on countries moving away from the dollar. His approach toward India has been particularly volatile, swinging from labeling it a “dead economy” to reaffirming U.S.-India ties.

These tensions highlight the political flashpoints driving speculation about dollar stability, even as structural realities keep the greenback secure.

BRICS Push for Alternatives
Despite JPMorgan’s confidence, BRICS nations continue to pursue alternatives:

  • Russia and China are expanding non-dollar payment systems.

  • India is extending its digital payment network to regional partners.

Still, JPMorgan cautions that fragmentation of international payments is a bigger near-term risk than outright de-dollarization.

Market Reality vs. Political Rhetoric
Financial voices emphasize the gap between BRICS ambitions and global trade realities.

Ted Jenkin, CEO of oXYGen Financial, noted: “With the exception of Europe, the dollar is the most widely used currency by far around the world.”

Even China, while cutting U.S. Treasury holdings, increased purchases of other U.S. securities, signaling continued reliance on dollar assets.

According to the Federal Reserve, 60% of international claims remain dollar-denominated, unchanged since 2000 and far above the euro’s 20%.

Why This Matters
While BRICS nations push for de-dollarization, the U.S. dollar remains the cornerstone of global finance. JPMorgan’s analysis suggests that structural advantages, institutional trust, and widespread usage ensure its dominance will endure well beyond today’s political disputes.

BREAKING NEWS: POLAND’S CENTRAL BANK GOVERNOR PLANS TO PROPOSE AN INCREASE IN THE TARGET FOR GOLD AS A PERCENTAGE OF RESERVES TO 30% FROM 20%

Job growth BADLY missed expectations in August. Here comes the rate cut… Spot gold is surging again right now.

Gold is sending a very loud message all over the world. There is a reason why gold is one of the most FEARED assets globally. This is getting wild.

Tether. The world’s largest stablecoin is in talks about investing in gold miners. Connecting the virtual and physical world… I am really starting to get trolled.

Fiat currencies are absolutely being destroyed against gold. Why would there be mercy when paper money can just be printed? You don’t have to be an Einstein to understand this… However, Gold bugs are starting to look pretty smart.

The best opportunities aren’t found by chasing… they are unlocked by recognizing patterns. What the market once despised is now what the world is mesmerized by: Gold. The movie is getting good, no?

At Beaver Creek last year, I asked @Frank_Giustra a simple question: When will capital flow back into miners? The industry was broken then. Now? Things have changed massively. The lesson? Broken sometimes represents a huge opportunity.

BREAKING NEWS: THE UNITED STATES IS CALLING FOR AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF THE US CENTRAL BANK, INCLUDING ITS MONETARY POLICY.

Change is in the air.

“Bessent criticized the Fed for expanding beyond its mandate, including pumping too much stimulus via quantitative easing and undertaking excessive regulation of the banking system…”

BREAKING NEWS: A SECOND TANKER CARRYING LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS FROM A US-SANCTIONED RUSSIAN EXPORT PLANT HAS ARRIVED IN CHINA

Another one.

“The LSEG tracking data indicated the Russian Voskhod LNG tanker was anchored at an LNG terminal in the port of Tieshan in China’s southwestern province of Guangxi…”

The People’s Bank of China increased its gold holdings in August for the 10th month. Again. The diversification away from the dollar is REAL. Gold is at the center of it all.

Africa holds around 30% of the world’s critical mineral reserves, and it’s fast becoming the battleground between East and West for control. Don’t overlook this story… or Botswana, a nation poised to play a big role in the years ahead. The next big trend…

“Lithium batteries.”

Don’t be fooled. Less than 10% is lithium. Nearly HALF of the cathode is nickel… the true backbone of the EV battery. Again: Half nickel. That’s where the real story lies. It’s why @elonmusk told miners in 2020: “Please mine more nickel. Tesla will give you a giant contract for a long period of time…”

A key story that many people missed this week? Germany is warning Europe… If China keeps outbidding Europe for copper scrap, a critical supply chain will be destroyed. This is about sovereignty, not just metal. Leaders are finally starting to wake up.

BREAKING NEWS: CHINA IS MOVING TO RESUME ITS DOMESTIC BOND MARKET WITH TOP RUSSIAN ENERGY COMPANIES

Energy…

“Russian ‘panda bond’ sales would be first since 2017 and reflect deepening ties between Moscow and Beijing…”

Source: https://www.ft.com/content/ee8ddacb-79be-4000-a1ed-716d52c60a37

As I have been saying for years: Watch the petrodollar. China is opening its bond market to Russian energy giants. With yuan financing and the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline, energy flows are shifting away from the dollar and the petrodollar era. The world is changing by the day.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

SEC Launches Cross-Border Pump-and-Dump Prevention Task Force

The new initiative targets market manipulation schemes and signals future reforms for crypto assets.

A New SEC Task Force
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has unveiled a new Cross-Border Task Force aimed at protecting American investors from fraud. The initiative will focus on foreign companies that attempt to skirt U.S. oversight through schemes like pump-and-dump operations.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

SEC Launches Cross-Border Pump-and-Dump Prevention Task Force

The new initiative targets market manipulation schemes and signals future reforms for crypto assets.

A New SEC Task Force
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has unveiled a new Cross-Border Task Force aimed at protecting American investors from fraud. The initiative will focus on foreign companies that attempt to skirt U.S. oversight through schemes like pump-and-dump operations.

SEC Chair Paul S. Atkins emphasized: “We welcome companies from around the world seeking access to the U.S. capital markets. But we will not tolerate bad actors… that attempt to use international borders to frustrate and avoid U.S. investor protections.”

The task force will consolidate investigative resources and give the SEC broader reach against transnational fraud.

Crypto Reform on the Horizon
Atkins linked the new initiative to the SEC’s Project Crypto, which supports President Donald Trump’s push to make the U.S. the world’s crypto capital. He signaled that the regulator is preparing to overhaul how digital assets are treated under securities law.

“We will work to bring crypto asset distributions back to America. The days of convoluted offshore corporate structures, decentralization theater, and confusion over security status are over,” Atkins said.

He added that the SEC had previously discouraged crypto-based capital raising, pushing innovation offshore. The new approach seeks to reverse that trend and restore opportunities for investors.

Why This Matters
The SEC’s new task force reflects a broader shift: tighter scrutiny on global market manipulation and a coming reset in crypto regulation. For U.S. investors, the message is clear—Washington intends to both protect markets from foreign fraud and position America as the center of digital asset innovation.

This Week’s US Economic Calendar: CPI, PPI, and Jobs Data to Watch

Markets brace for key reports that could shape the Fed’s September decision and ripple across stocks, gold, and crypto.

Markets Price in Rate Cut
Traders enter the week with high conviction that the Federal Reserve will cut rates at its September meeting. Futures point to a 96–97% probability, bolstered by weak labor market data showing just 22,000 jobs added in August. Bond yields have slipped, equities are climbing, and gold has reached new highs near $3,588/oz.

Tuesday: Inflation Revision
The week begins with a BLS 12-month inflation data revision. If revisions trend higher, it could pressure the Fed and weigh on Bitcoin and Ethereum. Softer numbers may instead provide relief for risk assets.

Wednesday: Producer Price Index
Midweek brings the Producer Price Index (PPI). Rising wholesale prices would signal sticky inflation, a negative for risk assets. A cooler PPI, however, could give crypto markets room for a rebound.

Thursday: CPI and OPEC in Focus
Thursday is the most critical day, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for August released alongside OPEC’s monthly oil report. Rising energy costs could intensify inflation concerns, creating a double catalyst for volatility in equities and digital assets.

Friday: Consumer Sentiment and Inflation Expectations
The week ends with the University of Michigan survey, offering a look at consumer sentiment and inflation expectations. Persistent price concerns could dampen market confidence, while optimism might fuel a late-week rally in crypto.

Why This Matters
With inflation still the Fed’s central concern, this week’s data could set the tone for the final quarter of 2025. Traders are watching bonds, commodities, and crypto closely as the Fed’s next move—and broader risk appetite—comes into focus.

Ripple’s SEC Battle Is Over: Time To Challenge SWIFT?

With legal clarity finally secured, Ripple turns back to its original mission: competing with the world’s dominant payments network.

Ripple Clears Its Legal Hurdle
Ripple has ended its long-running battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, bringing long-sought legal clarity to XRP, now trading near $2.93. The settlement removes a major obstacle that has hung over the company since 2020 and allows Ripple to refocus on building its payments network.

How Ripple Compares to SWIFT
The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), established in 1973, processes over 53 million messages daily across 220 countries. While SWIFT is deeply entrenched, critics argue its system is outdated:

  • Transactions often take several days and involve high fees.

  • One in 10 transactions fails, while one in 20 settles late.

  • Even with ISO 20022 upgrades by late 2025, many see SWIFT as “legacy tech” reliant on XML.

By contrast, Ripple’s blockchain ledger offers:

  • Near-instant settlement

  • Lower costs

  • Greater transparency and traceability

CEO Brad Garlinghouse has long framed Ripple as a modern alternative to SWIFT, saying as early as 2018 that the company was “taking over SWIFT” by signing banks and remittance firms onto the XRP Ledger.

Why SWIFT Still Holds the Advantage
Despite Ripple’s momentum, the banking sector remains slow to change. Blockchain advocates note that replacing SWIFT’s infrastructure could take 5–7 years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Banks continue using SWIFT because it is already universal, trusted, and familiar.

As Ripple’s Cassie Craddock put it, “Scaling to the level of traditional providers requires tackling two key hurdles: usability and regulation.”

The Role of Regulation and Stablecoins
Ripple now benefits from unique legal clarity on XRP, but broader adoption also hinges on regulatory frameworks like the GENIUS Act, which sets rules for stablecoin issuers. Ripple’s own stablecoin, Ripple USD, is being positioned as a bridge between blockchain innovation and traditional finance.

“Stablecoins are simple, pegged to the dollar, and behave like cash,” Craddock noted, adding that this familiarity is key to winning over institutions.

Can Ripple Truly Challenge SWIFT?
SWIFT’s ubiquity is its strongest moat. For Ripple to compete, it must overcome regulatory inconsistencies, risk-averse banks, and skepticism over XRP liquidity. Still, U.S. policymakers are creating space for private digital assets to complement traditional finance — and Ripple is well positioned to benefit.

As Garlinghouse said earlier this year, “The market opportunity is massive in the U.S… there’s an opportunity to modernize the payment systems from SWIFT.”

Why This Matters
Ripple’s victory over the SEC marks a turning point, but SWIFT remains a formidable incumbent. The battle ahead is not legal but structural: convincing banks and regulators that blockchain can deliver efficiency, security, and compliance at global scale.

Mon. 8 Sept. 2025 Quantum Financial System Global Currency Reset Payouts (allegedly)  Unleashed

Sun. 7 Sept. 2025 President Trump just detonated the boldest financial strike in modern U.S. history — a $600 Social Security increase(allegedly)   for struggling seniors, a $200 universal boost (allegedly)  for all recipients, and a direct purge of corruption inside the Federal Reserve. This isn’t policy tweaking. This is war on the rigged financial empire that has bled America dry for decades.

Sun. 7 Sept. 2025 NESARA ARRIVES IN LOUISIANA — AND IT’S A DIRECT HIT ON THE SYSTEM

In 2025, the National Economic Stabilization and Recovery Act (NESARA) is back in the spotlight — and it just (allegedly)  landed at the Louisiana State Capitol with thunder. For decades, NESARA has been buried, smeared, and ignored by establishment voices. Why? Because it dares to propose a full-scale restructuring of America’s financial system. And now, it’s(allegedly)   gaining momentum. From the halls of Baton Rouge, a political fire is rising — one that seeks to abolish the IRS, cancel compound interest, dismantle the Federal Reserve, and hand economic power back to the American people.

Sun. 7 Sept. 2025 ALERT! IT Outage Confirmed as Trial Run for ‘The Great Blackout’—10 Days of Darkness, Worldwide EBS Activation, and the Imminent Global Reset Under GESARA/NESARA!

The recent IT outage wasn’t just a technical glitch. It was a (allegedly) coordinated test for what’s coming next: The Great Blackout. Global communications systems were probed for weaknesses by forces preparing for the worldwide Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) activation. The Cabal’s long-held control over tech giants was (allegedly) exposed, revealing their grip on global narratives and information.

What’s coming is a 10-day period of total blackout. All communication channels—TV, radio, internet—will be severed. The world will be transitioned to a new Quantum Financial System (QFS) in preparation for (allegedly) GESARA/NESARA. The old, corrupt systems will be dismantled. You need to be ready. Understanding the principles of GESARA/NESARA is crucial as we transition into a new era of debt forgiveness, income tax abolition, and wealth redistribution.

Prepare for the Reset: As the old world crumbles, new systems will rise. The global stock market will (allegedly) collapse, making way for NESARA/GESARA’s financial equity. Tesla’s free energy will replace the existing power grids, and the dominance of Cabal-controlled crypto currencies will end.

A new golden age is on the horizon. The dismantling of the old, corrupt systems and the implementation of the QFS will (allegedly) restore power to the people. Prepare for the storm. It’s coming soon.

Foreigners Own Less US Government Debt—Is That a Good Thing?

Foreigners Own Less US Government Debt—Is That a Good Thing? [Podcast]

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon black) 

The US owes a LOT less money to China today than it did a few years ago. As recently as three years ago, for example, China held $1.3 trillion worth of US government bonds. Today they’re down to around $750 billion.

In other words, China’s government has decided to cut back on its US dollar Treasury holdings by more than 40% over the past three years.

And at first, that might sound like a good thing— HOORAY! More independence from foreign creditors! America is better off without that Chinese money! Right?

Foreigners Own Less US Government Debt—Is That a Good Thing? [Podcast]

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon black) 

The US owes a LOT less money to China today than it did a few years ago. As recently as three years ago, for example, China held $1.3 trillion worth of US government bonds. Today they’re down to around $750 billion.

In other words, China’s government has decided to cut back on its US dollar Treasury holdings by more than 40% over the past three years.

And at first, that might sound like a good thing— HOORAY! More independence from foreign creditors! America is better off without that Chinese money! Right?

But in reality this is a huge problem. Because it’s not just China.

  • Going back to the years before Covid, roughly a third of US debt was owned by foreigner governments and foreign central banks.

  • But then federal debt skyrocketed during the pandemic, and US government credibility plummeted. Even the government’s credit rating has been slashed.

  • As a result, foreigners across the board began stepping back from Treasury securities.

  • Today foreign ownership of US debt is less than 25%, and falling. This is a significant drop in just a few years.

Why it matters:

The US Treasury relies heavily on foreign capital to fund the federal government’s gargantuan (~$2 trillion) deficits. So if foreigners’ appetite to buy US government debt is waning— at a time when federal deficits are exploding higher— where will the Treasury Department come up with the money?

There are essentially two answers. Either (1) the Federal Reserve will “print” the money, or (2) domestic investors within the US economy will buy government bonds and fund the deficit.

But both of those options come at a significant cost.

Consequences of the Fed funding US government deficits:

  • In order for the Federal Reserve to buy US government bonds (and essentially fund the government’s annual budget deficit), the Fed must first expand the money supply.

  • We often refer to this as “printing money” even though it all happens electronically. The Fed calls it “quantitative easing”, or QE, but it’s all the same thing.

  • The consequence of QE is inflation. Serious, serious inflation.

  • Think about it— during the pandemic, the Fed’s QE created roughly $5 trillion in new money... resulting in 9% inflation.

  • Creating enough money to fund federal budget deficits over the next decade could result in the Fed having to print $15+ trillion. So most likely that’s going to be a LOT of inflation.

Consequences of the US economy funding government deficits:

  • American investors, i.e. banks, funds, corporate treasury departments, etc. could also buy more US government bonds in order to offset waning foreign demand.

  • But this capital comes at a big opportunity cost

  • Any private capital that goes in to the Treasury market means less money available to buy stocks, fund venture capital, or finance real estate mortgages

  • The net result is lower stock prices, higher mortgage rates, and slower innovation.

Why China is first to ditch US government bonds:

After sanctions on Russia, which included freezing their Treasury holdings, other countries got spooked — especially China.

  • China probably fears becoming the next target of US financial weaponization.

  • This may also be an indication that they will eventually invade Taiwan

  • So China is hedging: they’re selling their US government bonds and buying literal metric tons of physical gold— driving gold prices to record highs.

The bottom line:

The shrinking foreign appetite for US debt is a glaring red flag. It signals waning confidence in US fiscal credibility and could lead to a capital squeeze at home — or nasty inflation spiral if the Fed fills the gap.

Many Americans might cheer the idea of being less reliant on Chinese or other foreign money. But in reality, foreign investment in government debt is the closest thing to a ‘free lunch’ in economics.

It means that foreigners are financing federal deficits, meaning less inflation at home, and allowing private capital to invest directly in the US economy.

Losing this benefit is a bad thing for America.

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani heads to Brussels: Is he sending secret political signals to NATO?

Al-Mustaqilla/- Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani headed to the Belgian capital, Brussels, today, Monday (September 8, 2025), to deliver a speech before the North Atlantic Council (NATO), at the official invitation of NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

Strengthening security relations

This visit carries significant political and security implications, coming at a time when Iraq is continuing its efforts to strengthen military cooperation with international coalitions to confront security and terrorist challenges in the region.

Al-Sudani is expected to focus on Iraq's role as a strategic partner in promoting regional stability, in addition to discussing NATO's programs to train Iraqi forces and share intelligence information.

Political and regional messages

Al-Sudani's visit sends signals to both Iraq and abroad about the government's openness to international allies and its commitment to playing an active role in regional security issues. It may also aim to allay international concerns about internal alliances and the balance of power among regional powers, especially in light of the tensions surrounding the region.

Regional context

The visit comes at a sensitive time, as Iraq faces political and geopolitical challenges, including continued security threats along its borders and diplomatic issues related to its relations with neighbors and major powers. The Prime Minister's presence before the NATO Council is seen as an opportunity to affirm Iraq's ability to play a pivotal role in regional stability and review national strategies to confront common threats.

Conclusion

Al-Sudani's visit to Brussels is not merely a protocol event. It represents a political and strategic message about Iraq's drive to strengthen its relations with international allies and consolidate its role as a reliable partner in regional and international security.  link

Member of Parliament Kazim al-Shibli ruled out the possibility of passing the oil and gas law during the current legislative session on Saturday, considering the ongoing disputes between Baghdad and Erbil over the law’s provisions and the mechanism for distributing revenues to be the main reason for the obstruction.

Al-Shabli told Al-Maalouma News Agency that “the oil and gas law is a controversial law subject to political moods, and there are no serious intentions to resolve it within parliament yet,” adding that “the region refuses to give up illegal economic gains and is obstructing the achievement of a consensus formula with the federal government.

He explained that "the law has been postponed more than once by previous governments, and is not on the House of Representatives' agenda in the near future due to the ongoing political crisis between the central government and the region."

Al-Shabli pointed out that "the federal government needs a fair law that regulates the management and export of oil resources and ensures their equitable distribution to all governorates, without exception or monopolization."  link

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani declares war on oil mafias.. A high-level investigative committee to pursue corruption and stop the economic bleeding.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani ordered the formation of a high-level investigative committee on Saturday to investigate suspicions of smuggling Iraqi oil.

His office said in a statement received by Al-Mada that "Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has directed the formation of a high-level investigative committee from relevant authorities to investigate information received about suspicions of corruption in the mixing and smuggling of crude oil and petroleum products, whether in Iraqi ports or within territorial waters."

Al-Sudani stressed "the need to avoid complacency in this matter, and that the committee will submit its recommendations, after completing the investigations, to the Council of Ministers to take appropriate measures in accordance with the law, ensuring support for the national economy and the protection of public funds."  link

BRICS R5 vs. Unit: The Race Toward a 2026 Currency Launch

Two competing currency concepts highlight the bloc’s ambition to reshape global finance.

R5 Gains Momentum
The R5 proposal draws its name from the five original member currencies — Real, Ruble, Rupee, Renminbi, and Rand. Designed as a basket currency weighted by economic size, China would account for roughly 40% and India about 25%. Analysts see this gradual approach as a realistic entry point, starting as a unit of account before developing into a broader monetary system.

BRICS R5 vs. Unit: The Race Toward a 2026 Currency Launch

Two competing currency concepts highlight the bloc’s ambition to reshape global finance.

R5 Gains Momentum
The R5 proposal draws its name from the five original member currencies — Real, Ruble, Rupee, Renminbi, and Rand. Designed as a basket currency weighted by economic size, China would account for roughly 40% and India about 25%. Analysts see this gradual approach as a realistic entry point, starting as a unit of account before developing into a broader monetary system.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized: “No one in the BRICS community is raising the issue of replacing the dollar.”

Gold-Backed Unit Alternative
The competing “Unit” proposal envisions a hybrid structure: 40% backed by gold, 60% tied to the BRICS currency basket. The concept was showcased with prototype banknotes at the 2024 Kazan summit, signaling serious intent. A gold-backed foundation would provide tangible value, distinguishing the Unit from traditional fiat systems.

Timeline for 2026 Launch
At the 2025 Brazil summit, leaders reported that nearly 90% of intra-BRICS trade was already settled in local currencies. With BRICS Pay expanding and blockchain systems linking central bank digital currencies, officials believe a pilot launch is achievable by 2026. Lavrov confirmed: “The project will be continued by our Brazilian successors and a pilot could appear before the end of 2026.”

Infrastructure and Challenges
BRICS Pay now connects nearly 5,000 financial institutions, providing an alternative to SWIFT and strengthening non-dollar trade. Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov stated: “We believe that creating an independent BRICS payment system is an important goal for the future, which would be based on state-of-the-art tools such as digital technologies and blockchain.”

Still, challenges remain. The bloc’s diverse economies complicate any unified policy. India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar noted: “I don’t think there’s any policy on our part to replace the dollar. The dollar as the reserve currency is the source of global economic stability.” Meanwhile, Iran and Russia push for a shared currency to reduce the impact of U.S. sanctions.

Why This Matters
The BRICS currency project — whether under the R5 or Unit name — reflects the bloc’s determination to rewire the global monetary system. Even without consensus on a final design, the push toward a 2026 launch highlights a fundamental shift: the rise of non-dollar settlements and new payment systems that could redefine international trade flows.

“Tidbits From TNT” Sunday 9-7-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Singapore is a strategic hub for Iraqi oil. SOMO: External reserves to face crises, and ExxonMobil is a key partner.

Economist Nabil Al-Marsoumi revealed on Saturday the reasons behind Iraq's choice of Singapore as a location for storing Iraqi oil. This comes after the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) announced advanced agreements with ExxonMobil to enhance storage and refining in the Asian market.

In a clarification followed by Basra 365, Al-Marsoumi said, "The anticipated agreement with ExxonMobil aims to provide storage capacity in Singapore, giving Iraqi oil exports greater flexibility to respond to any emergency, whether it be the closure of the Strait of Hormuz or natural or political circumstances that might impede the flow of oil to global markets."

He added, "Although Singapore is not a major oil producer or importer, it represents a significant international market thanks to its strategic geographic location on shipping lanes between the Mediterranean and Western Europe on the one hand, and the Far East on the other, making it home to the most important commercial ports in Southeast Asia."

Al Marsoumi pointed out that "Singapore's political stability, its open and transparent environment, its advanced judicial and legislative system, and its highly competitive financial and banking system are all factors that have contributed to making it a global hub for oil trading."

He pointed out that "the advanced technological infrastructure, logistical support, and availability of specialized administrative and technical expertise have enabled Singapore to efficiently manage oil storage and trading operations at an international level."  link

Tishwash:  The President of the Republic: It is necessary to establish a sovereign fund from oil and gas revenues, as they belong to current and future generations.

President Abdel Latif Jamal Rashid stressed on Saturday the need to establish a sovereign fund from oil and gas revenues, as they belong to current and future generations.

The Presidency of the Republic said in a statement received by ( IQ ), "President of the Republic Abdul Latif Jamal Rashid received at the Peace Palace in Baghdad a delegation of participants in the Baghdad International Energy Forum, which included the Secretary-General of OPEC, Haitham Faisal Rashid, the Minister of Oil and Gas in the Libyan Government of National Unity, Khalifa Rajab Muhammad Abdul Sadiq, the First Undersecretary of the Ministry of Production - Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum, Ihab Rajai, and the Undersecretary of the Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Ahmet Barat Chonkar, in the presence of the Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs and Minister of Oil, Hayan Abdul Ghani ."

He added, "At the beginning of the meeting, the President welcomed the delegation and pointed out Iraq's keenness to advance the national  energy sector and its efforts to enhance constructive partnerships with its regional and international surroundings in a way that serves the aspirations of peoples for progress and stability 

The President of the Republic explained, according to the statement, that "Iraq, based on its strategic location and diverse wealth, is capable of investing in available natural resources and adopting sustainable solutions, in addition to its role as a pivotal partner in the transition to a green economy and the move towards the use of renewable energy ."

Rashid pointed out that "Iraq is experiencing a state of security and stability after decades of war, terrorism, and the problems the country has been suffering from," emphasizing "the importance of investing in the oil sector, as this phase represents the beginning of real investment, and the necessity of establishing a sovereign fund from oil and gas revenues, as they belong to current and future generations. 

He stressed that "holding the forum is a promising step to highlight Iraq's pioneering role in the energy sector," noting that "success in this field will contribute to formulating new visions for energy policies and expand the horizons of cooperation with international companies to invest in the Iraqi market." He wished the Baghdad Forum success, and the participants good luck in reaching decisions that serve the development of the energy sector, achieve national interests, and meet the aspirations of the people .

In turn, the delegation members expressed, according to the statement, "their sincere desire to deepen the positive relationship with Iraq to include all sectors ."  link

************

Tishwash:  Economist: Storing Iraqi oil in the Sultanate of Oman is a strategic project to expand export outlets.

Economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi confirmed that the signing of two memoranda of understanding between Iraq and the Sultanate of Oman to develop a crude oil storage project in the Ras Markaz area of ​​Oman represents an “important strategic step” toward expanding Iraqi oil exports to global markets, particularly in Asia.

Al-Marsoumi explained in a blog post followed by Al-Mada that the project, which begins with an initial capacity of up to 10 million barrels, subject to expansion, provides Iraq with greater flexibility in the face of potential disruptions at Basra ports, whether due to climatic conditions or crises in the Strait of Hormuz. He pointed out that the Sultanate of Oman, in turn, seeks to transform the Duqm area into a regional center for storing and re-exporting oil, with a total capacity that will eventually reach 200 million barrels.

He added that Iraq's plans are not limited to storage in Oman alone, but also include the construction of oil tanks and refineries in Southeast Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean, which would contribute to diversifying export outlets and opening new markets in Africa and Europe, in addition to strengthening its presence in the Asian market.

Al-Marsoumi pointed out that the project has a strategic dimension for Iraq, but it requires a careful study to calculate the investment costs and storage fees in Amman's warehouses, while assessing the possibility of doubling Iraq's storage capacity there, to ensure economic feasibility that matches the geopolitical dimension the project provides.  link

Here's What the Central Bank of Iraq is Doing

Edu Matrix 9-6-2025

In an increasingly interconnected and digital world, central banks worldwide are exploring innovative ways to modernize their financial systems.

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) is at the forefront of a significant shift, as highlighted in a recent insightful video from Edu Matrix featuring Sandy Ingram.

Here's What the Central Bank of Iraq is Doing

Edu Matrix 9-6-2025

In an increasingly interconnected and digital world, central banks worldwide are exploring innovative ways to modernize their financial systems.

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) is at the forefront of a significant shift, as highlighted in a recent insightful video from Edu Matrix featuring Sandy Ingram.

 The CBI has initiated a strategic policy to reduce the circulation of physical Iraqi Dinar (IQD) banknotes, aiming to pave the way for a new digital currency.

This bold move, while forward-thinking, carries with it a complex interplay of opportunities and potential challenges that warrant closer examination.

The core of the CBI’s policy is a deliberate reduction in the supply of physical IQD banknotes. The primary driver behind this decision is to facilitate a seamless transition towards the newly introduced digital currency, a move that aligns Iraq with global financial trends embracing digital transformation.

On the surface, such a policy might appear to enhance the security and intrinsic value of the remaining physical banknotes. More broadly, it’s envisioned to modernize Iraq’s monetary system, potentially improving efficiency, reducing the costs associated with printing and managing physical cash, and enhancing overall currency security.

A particularly critical point highlighted in the Edu Matrix discussion is the uncertainty surrounding the exchangeability of older physical banknotes for the new digital format.

For the public and investors alike, clarity on this mechanism is not just important – it’s absolutely crucial for maintaining confidence and preventing instability.

In essence, the Central Bank of Iraq’s decision is a strategic leap towards a modernized, digital-first monetary system, mirroring a global trajectory. While it holds the promise of enhanced efficiency and security, its success hinges on navigating a complex web of challenges.

Clear, transparent communication, the establishment of robust digital infrastructure, and a thoughtful, inclusive implementation strategy will be vital to ensure that the benefits of this digital currency adoption are fully realized without destabilizing the Iraqi economy or leaving its citizens behind.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

US Crypto Bill Draft Seeks Clarity on SEC-CFTC Roles, DeFi Rules

The updated draft bill also introduces protections for DeFi developers and emerging blockchain sectors like DePINs.

A Revised Framework for Crypto Oversight
A newly revised draft of the Responsible Financial Innovation Act of 2025 has been released by US Senators, aiming to clarify the regulatory responsibilities of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

US Crypto Bill Draft Seeks Clarity on SEC-CFTC Roles, DeFi Rules

The updated draft bill also introduces protections for DeFi developers and emerging blockchain sectors like DePINs.

A Revised Framework for Crypto Oversight
A newly revised draft of the Responsible Financial Innovation Act of 2025 has been released by US Senators, aiming to clarify the regulatory responsibilities of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

The bill proposes clear roles for the SEC and CFTC, establishes a joint advisory committee, and provides explicit protections for decentralized finance (DeFi) developers and emerging blockchain networks like Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs).

SEC-CFTC Alignment and Joint Committee

  • The bill creates a Joint Advisory Committee on Digital Assets with members from both agencies.

  • Both the SEC and CFTC would be required to publicly respond to the committee’s recommendations, even if nonbinding.

  • A public roundtable is scheduled for September 29 to discuss harmonization efforts.

“The SEC and CFTC must align to reduce regulatory overlap, eliminate unnecessary friction, and support innovation,” SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins and CFTC Acting Chair Caroline D. Pham said in a joint statement.

Protections for Developers and Users

  • Developers, validators, wallet builders, liquidity providers, and infrastructure contributors would not fall under traditional financial regulations if the protocol is not centrally controlled.

  • This responds to concerns raised by the conviction of Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm, which critics said blurred the line between software development and criminal liability.

  • Airdrops, staking rewards, and liquid-staking outputs are defined as “gratuitous distributions,” exempt from securities laws.

DePINs and Tokenized Assets Included

  • For the first time, DePIN tokens receive federal-level treatment. Tokens are exempt from securities classification if no entity controls more than 20% of supply.

  • This safe harbor is designed to foster decentralized telecom, storage, and sensor networks.

  • The bill also clarifies that tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) does not automatically make them securities.

  • Regulators are instructed to study custody, audit, verification, and enforcement standards for RWAs.

Next Steps in Legislation
Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), a key architect of the legislation, said the Senate’s version must be aligned with the Clarity Act, which passed the House in July. The goal is to reconcile the two bills and deliver a version for President Trump’s signature before year-end.

Why This Matters
The proposed framework could provide long-sought regulatory clarity for US crypto markets, easing developer fears while strengthening institutional trust. By explicitly protecting DeFi builders, recognizing DePINs, and clarifying SEC-CFTC roles, the bill may mark a turning point in US digital asset legislation.

Crypto Firms Break Into Wall Street as Robinhood Joins S&P 500, SOL Strategies Lands Nasdaq Listing

From index inclusion to Nasdaq trading, crypto-linked firms are gaining mainstream legitimacy in global finance.

Robinhood to Enter the S&P 500
Robinhood (HOOD), the retail brokerage with heavy exposure to digital assets, will officially join the S&P 500 on September 22. The news sent shares up 7% in after-hours trading, pushing HOOD above $108.

  • Robinhood’s share price has surged over 150% year-to-date, reflecting strong investor appetite.

  • In Q2, the firm posted $989 million in revenue—well above analyst expectations—with $386 million in net income.

  • While crypto trading revenue dipped quarter-over-quarter, it remains nearly double year-over-year at $160 million.

  • Robinhood joins Coinbase, which entered the S&P 500 in May, solidifying the role of digital asset platforms in the broader US equity landscape.

Notably, the index declined to include Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), despite its $95 billion market cap and $70 billion Bitcoin holdings.

SOL Strategies Heads to Nasdaq
Meanwhile, Solana-focused treasury and infrastructure company SOL Strategies has received approval to list its shares on Nasdaq under the ticker STKE, beginning September 9.

  • The Canadian firm will continue trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (as HODL) but exit the OTCQB. Current OTCQB shareholders will have their shares automatically converted to Nasdaq.

  • CEO Leah Wald said the listing provides “enhanced liquidity, broader investor participation, and the credibility that comes with being in Nasdaq’s orbit.”

  • As of August 31, SOL Strategies held 435,064 SOL ($89 million) in treasury and operated validators managing over 3 million staked SOL ($741 million).

  • This positions the firm as the third-largest publicly traded SOL holder, trailing only Upexi and DeFi Development Corp.

Shares on the Canadian exchange spiked nearly 20% following the announcement, while quarterly revenues grew to $8.7 million in Q2 from $3.5 million in late 2024.

Mainstream Embrace of Crypto Firms
Together, these moves highlight how digital asset firms are advancing into mainstream financial markets:

  • Robinhood and Coinbase now sit alongside America’s top 500 companies, opening crypto platforms to wider investor bases.

  • SOL Strategies’ Nasdaq listing marks one of the first major Solana-focused treasury firms to access deeper capital markets.

  • Despite Strategy’s exclusion, the rise of firms tied to trading, infrastructure, and token holdings points to a maturing environment where digital assets are no longer confined to the periphery.

Why This Matters
Wall Street is no longer keeping crypto at arm’s length—it’s opening the door. Robinhood’s inclusion in the S&P 500 and SOL Strategies’ Nasdaq debut show that digital asset companies are being measured by the same yardsticks as traditional firms: profitability, growth, and investor demand. This is the inflection point where crypto firms stop being outsiders and start shaping the future of global markets from the inside.

Greg Hunter (with Bill Holter): Gold and Silver Sniffing out Risk and Fear

Watchdog USA:  9-6-2025

Precious metals expert and financial writer Bill Holter worked side by side with his business partner Jim Sinclair for more than a decade.  No two people knew more about markets and money than them. 

Two years ago, Sinclair, aka “Mr. Gold,” passed away.  Now, the baton has passed to Holter, who is the new “Mr. Gold.” 

Holter warns one explosive new all-time high, hitting day after day, for the yellow metal is signaling big trouble coming. 

Greg Hunter (with Bill Holter): Gold and Silver Sniffing out Risk and Fear

Watchdog USA:  9-6-2025

Precious metals expert and financial writer Bill Holter worked side by side with his business partner Jim Sinclair for more than a decade.  No two people knew more about markets and money than them. 

Two years ago, Sinclair, aka “Mr. Gold,” passed away.  Now, the baton has passed to Holter, who is the new “Mr. Gold.” 

Holter warns one explosive new all-time high, hitting day after day, for the yellow metal is signaling big trouble coming. 

 Holter explains, “There is a huge breakout.  In my opinion, the metals market is sniffing out risk and fear. . .. They funded literally trillions of dollars by borrowing in yen.  Now, what has happened, the Japanese yield curve has gone from basically zero to over 1.6 % on a ten-year (bond) and 3.2% on a 30-year (bond). 

So, that carry trade now is being squeezed because the yen has gone higher . . . your cost to carry has gone higher because Japanese yields have gone higher.  So, the gold market is looking at the Japanese carry trade in the process of blowing up.  It is sovereign bonds across the world.  If you look at interest rates worldwide, they are actually going higher.”

If the Fed cuts interest rates later this month, it may not be good news.  The bond market could rebel.  Holter says, “You could see bond prices drop and yields go higher.   There is also a very high probability with lower Fed rates that the dollar weakens.”

Earlier this year, Holter called the global economy a hyper-levered house of cards.  The leverage has gotten worse, much worse. 

Holter says, “There is a turbocharge to this, and when I say turbocharge, it’s fear.  It’s fear of bankruptcy.  It’s fear of default.  The world is clearly over-levered, and there are going to be sovereign defaults left and right going forward. 

The only two monies that cannot default on the planet are gold and silver.”

So, is there going to be a big crash coming soon?  Holter says, I don’t know if it is going to be September, October or whatever, but you look at the math and the valuations.  The valuations are ridiculous. 

 Look at the math on sovereign debt all over the world.  Look at the math on the amount of debt outstanding and margin debt, and this is a huge credit bubble.  Credit bubbles do not go away quietly.  Credit bubbles burst and markets collapse. 

The problem now is there is so much debt in the system and the system is so big the central banks together cannot stand against the tsunami of bankruptcies that are coming.  There is no white knight this time.”

Holter (aka, the new Mr. Gold) says, “The vast majority of wealth will seek a safe haven that cannot evaporate or be taken away.  It’s going to be gold and silver. 

You are going to see a bull market in gold and silver unlike any bull market in any field ever. . .. Gold and silver will make financial history because capital from all over the world will be trying to get off the railroad tracks because gold and silver cannot default.”

In closing, Mr. Gold says if you just divide the amount of official gold held in the US Treasury by the official US government debt, you get about $135,000 per ounce gold price and around $6,700 per ounce silver price. 

Holter says with $2 quadrillion in derivative debt, who knows how high the price of gold and silver can go.  One thing for sure is gold and silver cannot default.

There is much more in the 50-minute interview.

Excuse me, they're using 1310 in from of the world. But you know very well every government runs second books.

Danger Not Seen in 40+ Years - This SIGNAL Happens Before Every Market Crash

Daniela Cambone:  9-5-2025

“Danger is an understatement right now,” says veteran Wall Street strategist Peter Grandich, founder of Peter Grandich & Company and author of Confessions of a Former Wall Street Whiz Kid.

 In today’s interview with Daniela Cambone, Grandich warns that the so-called “everything bubble” in stocks, bonds, real estate, and other assets is entering its final stage.

 He points to four historic crash signals—fantasy pricing, paper riches, overconfidence, and dangerous assumptions—all flashing red at once.

Grandich cautions that the U.S. can no longer afford another financial crisis, with consumers already stretched thin, tariffs weighing on businesses, and housing and auto markets flashing warning signs.
