Everything you Need to know about Kevin Warsh

Everything you Need to know about Kevin Warsh

Heresy Financial:  2-3-2026

In a move that caught many market watchers off guard, President Donald Trump has announced his intention to replace Jerome Powell with Kevin Warsh as the chairman of the Federal Reserve.

Warsh, a former Fed governor, is known for his critical views on the central bank’s past monetary policies, particularly quantitative easing (QE) and low interest rates. So, what can we expect from Warsh’s leadership, and how will it impact the economy?

Warsh’s history at the Fed dates back to his tenure from 2006 to 2011, during which he played a key role in designing bailout programs like the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). However, after leaving the Fed, Warsh became increasingly vocal about his concerns regarding the continuation and expansion of QE and loose monetary policies.

 He argued that these policies have exacerbated wealth inequality by disproportionately inflating asset prices while failing to improve wages and employment for the broader population.

Despite Trump’s vocal desire for lower interest rates and criticism of Powell, Warsh’s track record suggests that he will not bow to political pressure to aggressively print money or excessively loosen policy. Instead, he may focus on gradually reducing the Fed’s balance sheet and controlling asset price inflation.

 This approach may signal a shift in tone, but it’s unlikely to change the Fed’s fundamental role in facilitating continuous government borrowing and money supply expansion.

The markets reacted with a mild sell-off following the announcement, with gold prices dropping sharply as well. This reflects investors’ reassessment of the Fed’s future direction under Warsh.

 While the initial reaction was negative, it’s worth noting that Warsh’s appointment may bring a more measured approach to monetary policy, which could ultimately benefit the economy in the long run.

The discussion around Warsh’s appointment also highlights the complex dynamics between short-term and long-term interest rates. Trump has pushed for lower short-term rates to ease government borrowing costs, but long-term rates have been rising due to inflation concerns and increased money supply.

The Federal Reserve’s regulatory framework, particularly the supplementary leverage ratio that limits banks’ ability to hold Treasuries, plays a crucial role in this environment.

There’s a growing push to deregulate this ratio, allowing banks to hold more Treasuries and effectively act as quasi-quantitative easing agents by purchasing government debt. This deregulation, combined with a Fed backstop, could enable banks to support government borrowing at favorable rates.

 However, this comes at a cost, as it may increase wealth inequality and disadvantage ordinary citizens.

Ultimately, regardless of who leads the Fed, the institution’s fundamental role remains to facilitate continuous government borrowing and money supply expansion to avoid deflationary spirals. While Warsh’s approach may differ in tone and method from Powell’s, the systemic pressures shaping Fed policy are unlikely to change.

 The Fed must keep the money flowing to sustain the economy and manage the national debt, often to the detriment of average workers and savers.

As we watch the unfolding drama around Warsh’s appointment, it’s clear that the Fed’s policies will continue to have far-reaching consequences for the economy. For further insights and information, be sure to check out the full video from Heresy Financial.

In conclusion, Warsh’s appointment as Fed chair may signal a shift in tone, but it’s unlikely to change the central bank’s fundamental role in facilitating government borrowing and money supply expansion. As the economy continues to evolve, it will be crucial to monitor the Fed’s policies and their impact on the broader population.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Historic Shift: From Financial Hegemony to a System-Based Global Order  

Volatility exposes stress beneath the global monetary system

Overview

Global precious metals markets experienced a historic selloff as gold and silver prices plunged sharply following a surge in U.S. dollar strength, rising interest-rate expectations, and aggressive risk reallocation across global portfolios. The move coincided with heightened sensitivity to U.S. monetary leadership signals and margin tightening in futures markets, raising deeper questions about price discovery and systemic stability during a global monetary transition.

Key Developments

Dollar Strength Triggers Forced Liquidation
Gold and silver suffered their steepest declines in years as the dollar surged on expectations of tighter monetary discipline following the Federal Reserve chair nomination. Gold fell nearly 10% in a single session, while silver lost more than 30% from recent highs, reflecting widespread deleveraging rather than a fundamental rejection of metals.

Margin Hikes Accelerate the Decline
CME Group raised margin requirements on precious metals futures, forcing leveraged traders to liquidate positions. Analysts noted that these margin hikes tend to amplify downside volatility by triggering mechanical selling across paper markets, regardless of physical supply-demand conditions.

Risk Reallocation Over Safe-Haven Abandonment
Market participants shifted capital toward cash and dollar-denominated assets amid uncertainty over future monetary policy direction. Despite the selloff, analysts cautioned that long-term drivers of precious metals demand — including sovereign debt growth and geopolitical risk — remain intact.

Why It Matters

This episode underscores how fragile confidence has become in global financial markets. The violent repricing reflects systemic stress rather than a simple market correction, highlighting the sensitivity of leveraged paper markets during periods of monetary transition.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Sharp repricing events signal instability in fiat-based pricing mechanisms

• Volatility reinforces interest in non-sovereign stores of value

• Currency holders face growing exposure to policy-driven market shocks

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 – Monetary Transition Stress
The reaction to the Fed chair nomination signals how sensitive markets are to perceived shifts in monetary philosophy. Sudden repricing events suggest confidence in policy continuity is fragile.

Pillar 2 – Paper vs. Physical Divide
Repeated margin hikes reinforce concerns about futures markets functioning as price-control mechanisms rather than true discovery tools. Each forced liquidation event strengthens the argument that physical metals markets are increasingly disconnected from paper pricing.

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

Analysis

Based on Reuters reporting, the selloff appears less about a rejection of gold and silver as monetary assets and more about systemic leverage unwinding. Margin hikes historically mark inflection points rather than trend endings. While prices may remain volatile in the near term, the structural drivers supporting precious metals — sovereign debt expansion, currency fragmentation, and geopolitical risk — remain firmly in place.

This is not just a commodities story — it’s a stress test of the financial plumbing during a global monetary transition.

BRICS Gold Accumulation Signals Structural De-Dollarization

Reserve realignment accelerates amid global monetary fragmentation

Overview

BRICS nations are accelerating gold accumulation while reducing exposure to U.S. Treasury debt, reinforcing a broader shift toward alternative reserve strategies. These moves reflect growing concern over dollar dependency, sanctions risk, and the long-term sustainability of Western-centric financial systems as the global order trends toward multipolarity.

Key Developments

Treasury Holdings Decline Across BRICS
China, India, and Brazil collectively reduced U.S. Treasury holdings by more than $180 billion over the past year. This coordinated reduction reflects strategic reserve diversification rather than routine portfolio management.

Gold Replaces Paper Reserves
BRICS central banks now hold over 5,800 tonnes of gold, representing more than 20% of global official gold reserves. Analysts increasingly view gold as a neutral settlement asset immune to political leverage.

Parallel Financial Systems Advance
Gold accumulation complements efforts to develop alternative payment systems, local-currency trade settlement mechanisms, and CBDC-linked infrastructure aimed at bypassing Western financial intermediaries.

Why It Matters

The shift away from Treasuries toward physical reserves marks a structural challenge to the post-Bretton Woods financial architecture. As reserve strategies evolve, demand for dollar-denominated assets faces long-term pressure.

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

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Reserve diversification weakens single-currency dominance

• Gold’s role as a settlement anchor may expand

• Currency volatility increases during systemic transitions

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 – Monetary Transition Stress
Large-scale Treasury liquidation reflects declining confidence in fiat-only reserve systems and exposes vulnerabilities in debt-based monetary models.

Pillar 2 – Paper vs. Physical Divide
BRICS’ preference for physical gold over paper assets reinforces concerns that financial instruments are increasingly disconnected from underlying value, accelerating demand for tangible reserves.

Analysis

Based on central bank disclosures and market data, BRICS’ gold accumulation represents a deliberate strategic hedge against currency weaponization and systemic debt risk. While dollar usage remains dominant, the foundation supporting that dominance is eroding incrementally rather than collapsing suddenly.

This is not a retreat from global trade — it is a recalibration of trust in the monetary system that underpins it.

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.

For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Our mission here is different:   • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.

You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents.       Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

Iraq Welcomes Comprehensive Ceasefire Agreement Between Syrian Government And SDF

Baghdad – INA   The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed on Tuesday its welcome of reaching a comprehensive ceasefire agreement between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), and the understandings included in the agreement that provide for the integration of the institutions of the Autonomous Administration into the institutions of the Syrian state, in a way that contributes to enhancing stability and supporting the political solution process in Syria.

In a statement obtained by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), the ministry said that “Iraq welcomed the conclusion of a comprehensive ceasefire agreement between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), and the understandings included in the agreement that stipulate the integration of the institutions of the Autonomous Administration into the institutions of the Syrian state, which contributes to strengthening stability and supporting the political solution process in Syria.”

The ministry stressed that “this agreement represents a positive step that reflects the importance of prioritizing the language of dialogue and understanding among all Syrian parties, in a manner that ensures the protection of the rights of all Syrian components and guarantees their fair participation in state institutions on the basis of citizenship and peaceful coexistence.”

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs praised “the response of the Syrian parties to the efforts exerted by the leaders of the Republic of Iraq, which helped create the appropriate conditions to reach this agreement, stemming from Iraq’s role in supporting the security and stability of the region and its constant keenness to support political solutions that spare peoples the horrors of conflict.”

It indicated that “the Republic of Iraq renews its firm position in support of Syria’s unity and independence, and its standing alongside the brotherly Syrian people in their aspirations for security, stability, and lasting peace.”

Sudanese: The Need To Maintain Market Stability And The General Income Of Citizens

Economy News – Baghdad   Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani chaired a meeting of the Ministerial Council for the Economy on Tuesday, where the government’s approach to implementing measures to maximize revenues and reduce expenditures was finalized. 

The council discussed the study submitted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is an integrated plan of procedures and figures that clarifies the Ministry’s localization and financial policy for the current year 2026.

The Council hosted the head of the advisory board in the Prime Minister’s office, who in turn presented a detailed study on the value of trade and imports from abroad, part of which was discussed by the relevant ministries, and observations and suggestions were put forward for its development.

The meeting witnessed a detailed discussion of the decisions to implement the customs tariff and its impact on maximizing revenues, in addition to examining the reality of the market and the requirements of domestic trade, and the effects that have occurred on it after the implementation of the measures taken, as well as discussing the recommendation of the Ministerial Council for the Economy (25511) regarding addressing the financial situation by reviewing the subsidy ratios for petroleum products. 

The Prime Minister stressed the need to maintain market stability and the general income of citizens, to avoid harming the private sector, professions and small projects, and to implement decisions correctly, with careful monitoring of the impact of decisions every three months.   https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=65289

Oil Falls On Possible US-Iran De-Escalation, Firm Dollar

Oil prices fell on Tuesday, easing for a second day, as market participants weighed the possibility of a de-escalation in U.S.-Iran tensions, while a firmer dollar placed greater downside pressure on prices.

Brent crude futures fell 39 cents, or 0.5%, at $65.91 per barrel at 0330 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $61.83 per barrel, down 31 cents, or 0.5%.

Iran and the U.S. are expected to resume nuclear talks on Friday in Turkey, officials from both sides told Reuters on Monday, and Trump warned that with big U.S. warships heading to Iran, bad things could happen if a deal was not reached.

"The sharp up-and-down moves in oil prices over the last few sessions look more like sentiment-driven trading rather than any major shift in fundamentals," said Phillip Nova senior market analyst Priyanka Sachdeva. "After last week's rally, markets quickly gave back gains as broader risk assets also turned volatile."

"With no fresh escalation on the geopolitical front and macro data still mixed, oil clearly failed to hold onto gains."

Weighing on prices further, the U.S. dollar index (.DXY), opens new tab hovered near a high of more than a week. A stronger greenback hurts demand for dollar-denominated crude from foreign buyers.

"The continued recovery in the US dollar yesterday, following President Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chair, also exerted downward pressure on oil prices," ING analysts said in a note.

On the trade front, Trump on Monday unveiled a deal with India that slashes U.S. tariffs on Indian goods to 18% from 50% in exchange for India halting Russian oil purchases and lowering trade barriers.

"Overnight, the US and India agreed on a trade deal ... if we do see this happen, it will only lead to a further increase in the amount of Russian oil floating at sea," the ING analysts said.

Trump announced the deal on social media following a call with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, noting that India had agreed to buy oil from the U.S. and possibly Venezuela.

Some analysts said they were expecting volatile price movements this month.

"Looking ahead into February, prices are likely to remain choppy and range-bound ... (they) are expected to stay highly reactive to headlines and macro cues rather than a decisive trend, with risk skewed to the downside," said Phillip Nova's Sachdeva.

The Dollar Maintains Its Gains, Supported By Positive Data

The dollar maintained its gains during Tuesday's trading, supported by strong economic data in the United States and expectations that the Federal Reserve's monetary policy will continue for a longer period.

The dollar index, which measures the performance of the US currency against a basket of major currencies, stabilized after strong gains in previous sessions. At 3:19 PM Moscow time, the index stood at 97.6060 points, having risen 1.5% over two days.

The euro saw limited movement against the dollar, rising 0.12% to $1.1804, as investors awaited the European Central Bank's decision.

Indicators of industrial activity in the United States showed the manufacturing sector returning to a growth trajectory.

The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) climbed to 52.6 last month, its highest level in more than three years, boosting confidence in the strength of the US economy at the start of the year.

“Tidbits From TNT” Tuesday Morning 2-3-2026

TNT:

Tishwash:  Iraqi retirees are angry about the delay in their pensions and are demanding that banking officials be held accountable.

On Tuesday, a number of retirees called on members of parliament to host those responsible for the delay in salary payments, particularly the directors of government banks, specifically Al-Rafidain and Al-Rasheed banks.

The retirees told Shafaq News Agency that the lack of financial liquidity, along with weak banking development, the failure to introduce modern technologies and keep pace with technology, have greatly contributed to the exacerbation of the crises, in addition to the absence of strategic plans and poor performance in banking work.

He pointed out that modernizing banking systems and adopting modern electronic means would increase revenues, strengthen the state treasury, and improve the level of services provided to citizens.

The retirees also called on the relevant authorities to take urgent measures to address the crisis and ensure the regular disbursement of salaries, given its direct impact on the living conditions of a large segment of citizens.

The Ministry of Finance had previously called on government banks to work on Friday and Saturday in order to boost funding and expedite salary payments, but this step did not achieve tangible results due to the continued shortage of liquidity and financial balance.  link

Tishwash:  48 hours to decide on the presidential candidate

The Coordination Framework gave the two main Kurdish parties (the Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union) a period of (48) hours to resolve their dispute over the position of President of the Republic, according to the official spokesman for the Victory Coalition, Aqeel Al-Rudaini.

Al-Rudaini said in a special statement to Al-Sabah: The Coordination Framework delegation played an important role in bringing the views of the two Kurdish parties closer regarding the issue of electing the President of the Republic.

He added that "the meetings held by the delegation produced positive indicators from the Kurdish side towards not maintaining the political deadlock, and moving forward to complete the constitutional entitlements within their legal frameworks."

Al-Rudaini explained that "the coordination framework gave the Kurdish parties a two-day deadline to end this deadlock and reach an agreement on the selection of the president of the republic in preparation for completing the rest of the constitutional requirements."

The Coordination Framework delegation returned to Baghdad yesterday evening after a series of important meetings with the leaders of the two Kurdish parties, in Erbil and Sulaymaniyah respectively.

The delegation included the head of the Reconstruction and Development Coalition, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, the Secretary-General of the Badr Organization, Hadi al-Amiri, the head of the Foundation Coalition, Mohsen al-Mandalawi, in addition to the Secretary-General of the Coordination Framework, Abbas Radhi.

Informed sources told Al-Sabah that the meetings yielded positive results, with an agreement reached on establishing a framework for consensus between the two parties regarding the mechanism for selecting the president. This framework aims to prevent any escalation in the political process and ensure adherence to deadlines. 

Constitutional.

The delegation began its talks in Erbil with the President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Masoud Barzani, who stressed the need to define a clear mechanism for electing the President of the Republic, in order to ensure the stability of the political scene and avoid any disruption to national entitlements.

In Sulaymaniyah, the delegation met with the President of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Bafel Talabani. During the meeting, they reviewed national and regional developments and stressed the importance of unifying national positions and resolving the issue of the presidency in a way that contributes to the formation of a government that reflects the aspirations of all Iraqis and strengthens the path of reform, reconstruction, and development.   link

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

Tishwash:  Muthanna Amin: Iraq is suffering from security and economic problems, and political decisions are contingent on reaching an agreement with Washington.

Muthanna Amin pointed out that the United States has a great influence on Iraq and the formation of the government, considering that if America is not persuaded, it will create problems for Iraq.

Muthanna Amin, a candidate for the presidency, told Kurdistan 24 on Sunday, February 1, 2026: “The United States has a major influence on Iraq and the formation of the government, and I believe that the coordination framework will change its candidate, Nouri al-Maliki.”

He added: "The only solution is for the coordination framework to engage in dialogue with the United States and convince it; otherwise, the US president will create obstacles for Iraq."

Muthanna Amin explained that Iraq is the worst country in terms of both security and the economy, stressing that "if it weren't for oil, Iraq would not have anything to eat."

The Iraqi parliament was scheduled to hold a session on Sunday to elect the president, but it was postponed for the second time.  link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Gold & Silver Rout Deepens as CME Margin Hikes Trigger Forced Liquidation

Volatility surges as futures markets tighten and confidence fractures

 Overview

• Gold and silver suffered a sharp follow-through selloff after CME Group raised margin requirements.

• The move came days after Kevin Warsh’s nomination as Federal Reserve chair rattled markets.

• Analysts describe price action as forced liquidation, not a collapse in long-term fundamentals.

• Stronger dollar dynamics and futures-market mechanics amplified downside pressure.

Key Developments

1. CME Margin Increase Accelerates Selloff
CME Group raised margin requirements on precious-metal futures, forcing leveraged traders to either post additional capital or liquidate positions. The move intensified selling pressure that began late last week, particularly in silver, which is more sensitive to speculative leverage.

2. Gold Suffers Historic Two-Day Decline
Spot gold fell another 3% to roughly $4,718 an ounce, following a nearly 10% plunge on Friday. From its January 29 peak near $5,595, gold has shed close to $900 in a matter of days — one of the sharpest pullbacks on record in nominal terms.

3. Silver Volatility Reaches Extreme Levels
Silver dropped more than 3% on the session to about $81.75, extending a collapse of roughly 32% from its recent high above $121. Analysts emphasized that silver’s steep decline reflects its thinner liquidity and heavier exposure to futures-driven positioning rather than a breakdown in industrial demand.

4. Dollar Strength Adds Pressure
The U.S. dollar index climbed following the Fed nomination news, making dollar-priced bullion more expensive for international buyers. The currency move compounded selling across metals, with platinum and palladium also sliding.

Why It Matters

This episode underscores how paper-market mechanics, not physical supply and demand, often dictate short-term pricing in precious metals. Margin hikes act as a brake on speculative excess but can also expose how dependent pricing has become on leveraged futures rather than physical settlement.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For holders of foreign currencies and hard assets, the selloff highlights a key Global Reset dynamic: volatility spikes during policy transitions. As monetary leadership shifts and liquidity conditions tighten, assets traditionally viewed as safe havens can experience violent corrections before longer-term trends reassert themselves.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 – Monetary Transition Stress
The reaction to the Fed chair nomination signals how sensitive markets are to perceived shifts in monetary philosophy. Sudden repricing events suggest confidence in policy continuity is fragile.

Pillar 2 – Paper vs. Physical Divide
Repeated margin hikes reinforce concerns about futures markets functioning as price-control mechanisms rather than true discovery tools. Each forced liquidation event strengthens the argument that physical metals markets are increasingly disconnected from paper pricing.

Analysis

Based on Reuters reporting, the selloff appears less about a rejection of gold and silver as monetary assets and more about systemic leverage unwinding. Margin hikes historically mark inflection points rather than trend endings. While prices may remain volatile in the near term, the structural drivers supporting precious metals — sovereign debt expansion, currency fragmentation, and geopolitical risk — remain firmly in place.

This is not just a commodities story — it’s a stress test of the financial plumbing during a global monetary transition.

EU’s $955B Recovery Fund Faces a Reality Check

Europe’s post-pandemic stimulus stabilised economies — but structural transformation remains elusive

Overview

The European Union’s €955 billion ($955B) NextGenerationEU recovery fund, launched in 2020 as the bloc’s largest stimulus since the Marshall Plan, was designed to do more than rescue economies from the COVID shock. Its ambition was transformational: accelerate digitalisation, decarbonisation, productivity, and long-term strategic autonomy.

Five years on, with final payout deadlines approaching, evidence on the ground shows visible projects but uneven results, raising questions about whether the fund can truly reshape Europe’s economic trajectory.

Key Developments

1. Massive Ambition, Slower Execution

The recovery fund broke historic taboos by introducing joint EU borrowing and tying spending to reform milestones. While leaders credit it with stabilising economies during the pandemic, implementation has lagged. Of more than €700 billion originally allocated, around €182 billion remains undistributed, according to Reuters calculations based on EU data.

Growth across the bloc has remained weak relative to the United States and China, undercutting hopes that the fund would deliver a rapid productivity surge.

2. Bureaucracy and Skills Gaps Limit Impact

Across Europe, projects funded by the programme highlight persistent bottlenecks. In Spain, EU-backed digital and AI-driven agricultural initiatives improved data capabilities but failed to secure long-term talent pipelines or sustainable business models once EU funding expires.

Small and medium-sized enterprises — a core target of the fund — have struggled with complex application criteria and administrative burdens, slowing uptake and limiting multiplier effects.

3. Italy and Spain Expose Structural Weaknesses

Italy and Spain account for more than half of total allocations, making their performance central to judging the programme. Italy’s €194 billion plan has been revised six times, with renegotiations delaying spending and scaling back social infrastructure goals such as childcare expansion.

Spain formally declined more than €60 billion in loans, citing supply-chain disruptions, technical difficulties, and improved access to private capital markets that reduced the appeal of EU debt.

4. Deadlines Loom, Extensions Take Priority

As deadlines approach, governments are shifting focus from speed to flexibility. Countries must implement reforms by late summer and request final payments by the end of September. Spain and Italy have both secured approval to extend spending timelines beyond 2026, aiming to preserve impact rather than rush inefficient disbursements.

EU officials argue that effects on productivity will become clearer as implementation accelerates, while economists see limited extensions as pragmatic — provided they are paired with credible structural reforms.

Why It Matters

NextGenerationEU was meant to reset Europe’s growth model, strengthen strategic autonomy, and position the bloc for intensified global competition amid rising pressure from China and a less predictable United States. Its mixed performance now shapes debates over whether joint borrowing and EU-level industrial policy should become permanent tools rather than emergency measures.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Joint EU debt issuance alters euro-area fiscal dynamics

• Weak productivity gains limit long-term euro strength

• Extended timelines signal continued reliance on monetary and fiscal support

• Structural reform delays heighten divergence risk within the euro zone

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Limits of Stimulus Without Structural Reform

The recovery fund demonstrates that large-scale spending alone cannot overcome entrenched structural constraints without streamlined governance and execution capacity.

Pillar 2 — Europe’s Strategic Autonomy Question

Europe’s ability to translate stimulus into durable industrial and technological capacity will determine whether it can act independently in a fragmenting global system.

The EU proved it could borrow together — but transforming an economy is harder than stabilising one.

The true verdict on Europe’s recovery experiment is still being written.

Trump’s Shutdown Isn’t About ICE — It’s an Economic War

Why the fight over immigration masks a deeper battle over global finance and American sovereignty

Overview

A growing political standoff framed by the media as an immigration crisis is, according to this analysis, something far larger: a confrontation between Trump’s revival of the American System of economics and the globalist free-trade and central-bank model. The federal shutdown, state resistance, and escalating rhetoric about “civil war” are presented as reactions to an economic realignment — not immigration enforcement.

Key Developments

1. Shutdown Framed as Immigration Revolt — But Something Else Is Driving It

Democratic governors in Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York publicly tied the government shutdown to opposition against ICE enforcement. However, the transcript argues this framing obscures the real trigger: Trump’s economic declaration of war against the global free-trade system, announced through trade, tariffs, and industrial policy.

2. “Fort Sumter 2.0” Rhetoric Emerges

Several Democratic officials warned that federal immigration enforcement could spark a new civil war. The transcript likens this rhetoric to pre–Civil War escalation tactics, suggesting deliberate provocation designed to force federal retreat or trigger constitutional conflict.

3. Trump Declines the Confrontation — Shifts the Battlefield

Rather than directly engaging sanctuary states, Trump announced that:

• Federal law enforcement will not assist sanctuary states with crime enforcement unless requested

• Federal assets and personnel will be protected aggressively

• Immigration enforcement will continue regardless of state resistance

This effectively transfers the fiscal and political cost of sanctuary policies back to the states themselves.

4. Justice Department and Election Investigations Expand

The transcript claims:

• A new DOJ prosecutor reporting directly to the President will target fraud within public programs in blue states

• The FBI raided an election warehouse in Fulton County, Georgia

• Allegations of foreign involvement in the 2020 election are under review

• A Florida grand jury is reportedly examining officials tied to “Russiagate”

These developments are described as fueling panic within Democratic leadership networks.

Lincoln’s Playbook: Why This Fight Is Economic

The transcript frames the conflict as a modern replay of Abraham Lincoln’s battle against British free-trade dominance, contrasting:

• The American System: tariffs, national banking, internal improvements, domestic industry

• The Globalist Free-Trade System: financialization, central-bank control, cheap foreign labor

Trump’s policies are presented as a continuation of Hamilton–Lincoln economics, challenging a system allegedly preserved through globalization and mass immigration.

Why It Matters

This analysis argues that immigration is not the core issue — it is the pressure point. The true struggle is over:

• Who controls credit and currency

• Whether nation-states or global institutions set economic policy

• Whether production replaces speculation as the foundation of growth

The shutdown is portrayed as resistance to that shift.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Challenges to dollar-centric global finance raise currency realignment risk

• Trade and tariff restructuring affect capital flows and reserve strategies

• A reduced role for central-bank dominance alters long-term monetary stability assumptions

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Collapse of the Free-Trade Orthodoxy

The transcript frames Trump’s agenda as dismantling the post-2008 bailout system tied to global finance, replacing it with national industrial sovereignty.

Pillar 2 — Return of State-Centered Economic Power

By reasserting Congressional and executive authority over trade, banking, and industry, the U.S. is portrayed as rejecting technocratic central-bank governance in favor of democratic control.

This is not an immigration fight — it is a declaration of independence from global finance.

And history suggests those battles are never small.

“Time for Made in Europe” — EU Pushes Industrial Preference as China Pressure Mounts

Brussels weighs protection, competitiveness, and the cost of sovereignty

Overview

• EU industry chief Stéphane Séjourné is calling for a formal “Made in Europe” strategy.

• The proposal responds to surging low-cost imports from China and global industrial competition.

• The European Commission plans an Industrial Accelerator Act to favor EU-made products.

• Member states and major corporations are divided over costs, competitiveness, and inflation risks.

Key Developments

1. Brussels Signals Shift Toward Industrial Protection
Stéphane Séjourné, backed by more than 1,100 European business leaders, has urged the European Union to adopt a clear preference for locally made products in strategic sectors. The proposal reflects growing concern that Europe’s industrial base is being hollowed out by cheaper imports, particularly from China.

2. Industrial Accelerator Act Takes Shape
The European Commission is preparing an Industrial Accelerator Act aimed at prioritizing European production in key areas such as steel, pharmaceuticals, and utilities. Séjourné argues that without explicit support for European manufacturing, the EU risks losing quality jobs and strategic autonomy.

3. Business Community Split on “Made in Europe” Rules
While executives from steelmakers, drug producers, and utilities broadly support the initiative, major car manufacturers were notably absent from the endorsement. Automakers face complex global supply chains and warn that rigid definitions of “Made in Europe” could disrupt production and raise costs.

4. Member States Clash Over Economic Impact
France has emerged as a strong supporter of local-content requirements, framing them as essential for sovereignty and resilience. In contrast, countries such as Sweden and the Czech Republic caution that such rules could deter investment, increase prices, and weaken Europe’s global competitiveness.

Why It Matters

The debate marks a pivotal moment in Europe’s economic strategy. Moving toward industrial preference would represent a clear departure from decades of open-market orthodoxy and signal that resilience and sovereignty are now taking precedence over pure efficiency.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders and global investors, Europe’s push toward localized production reinforces a broader Global Reset trend: regionalization of supply chains. As trade blocs prioritize internal production, currency alignments, trade flows, and capital allocation are likely to shift accordingly.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 – De-Globalization and Trade Fragmentation
“Made in Europe” mirrors similar policies in the United States and China, accelerating the breakdown of fully globalized trade in favor of bloc-based economic systems.

Pillar 2 – Inflation vs. Sovereignty Trade-Off
Local-content requirements may protect jobs and industry, but they risk higher consumer prices. This tension highlights the growing willingness of governments to accept inflationary pressure in exchange for strategic control.

Analysis

Based on Reuters reporting, the EU’s industrial pivot reflects mounting anxiety over economic dependency in an increasingly fragmented world. While the Industrial Accelerator Act could strengthen Europe’s strategic sectors, it also exposes deep internal divisions over how much protection is too much. The outcome will shape not only Europe’s industrial future, but also the credibility of the EU as a unified economic actor during the Global Reset.

This is not just about manufacturing — it’s about who controls production, pricing, and power in the next economic order.

Gold And Silver Are Fighting To Stabilize After A Historic Market Meltdown

Gold And Silver Are Fighting To Stabilize After A Historic Market Meltdown

Huileng Tan,Samuel O'Brient  Business Insider   Mon, February 2, 2026

• Gold and silver prices remained volatile after Friday's market meltdown.

• President Donald Trump's pick of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed chair hit the debasement trade.

• Both precious metals edged slightly higher on Monday morning after extending their slide earlier.

Precious metals were paring some of their steep losses on Monday, rising after briefly extending a historic sell-off that shook the market on Friday.

Gold was down by less than 1% at around $4,700 per ounce, after tumbling more than 10% on Friday in its worst decline since 2013. Despite the recent pullback, the metal remains up about 10% year to date.

Silver remained highly volatile, falling about 2% to around $77 an ounce after plunging as much as 36% on Friday, the biggest single-day loss since 1980.

The crash in metal markets came after Donald Trump tapped Kevin Warsh to run the Federal Reserve. Warsh is viewed as more hawkish and more likely to preserve the central bank's independence than other candidates.

That outlook hit the debasement trade — pushing the US dollar higher, weighing on dollar-denominated commodities such as gold and silver. As markets open in the US on Monday, though, conditions appear to have stabilized as both precious metals demonstrate an ability to rise above macro-driven volatility.

Most importantly, Warsh supports shrinking the Fed's balance sheet, which would ease fears of a weaker dollar and help explain recent declines in gold and silver prices, wrote Vishnu Varathan, Mizuho's Asia head of research excluding Japan, on Monday in Asia.

Meltdown after historic rally

Before the sell-off, gold had been on a blistering yearlong rally, fueled by heavy central bank buying and geopolitical tensions.

Those forces remain in place and now appear to be provide support, despite previous speculation.

"I think the fundamentals remain pretty well in place despite those risks around Fed independence," Daniel Hynes, a senior commodities analyst at ANZ , told Bloomberg TV, on Monday.

Hynes said broad geopolitical tensions continue to support the gold market, even as he expects price volatility to remain high.

"The general unbending of the world order that we hear about constantly, and the US's role within that, has really been at the crux of this haven buying, and I don't see that ending any time soon," he said.

However, analysts are continuing to warn on silver, whose gains have far outpaced gold in recent months due to speculative Chinese demand.

Ole Hansen, the head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, wrote on Friday that gold is susceptible to a pullback amid this month's surge in prices. However, price declines in gold are likely to be met with fresh demand.

But silver may struggle to keep pace with gold. Several finance pros have speculated that it will likely fall in the coming months.

Trust Collapses as Gold Exposes the Accelerating Reset

Trust Collapses as Gold Exposes the Accelerating Reset

Gold Rush Hour:  2-1-2026

Gold just hit $5,000 and some are rushing to sell. But central banks are hoarding it.

Trust in the dollar is evaporating, and a monetary reset is already in motion.

If you're worried about inflation, debt, and the collapse of institutional credibility, this episode reveals why $5,000 gold may soon look cheap.

In a recent video conversation captured at a VR conference, industry experts gathered to discuss the current state of gold as a monetary asset amidst a backdrop of global economic uncertainty.

The consensus among the speakers was clear: gold remains a crucial safe-haven asset for investors looking to weather the storm.

The conversation emphasized the importance of adopting a long-term perspective when it comes to gold investment. Rather than reacting to short-term price fluctuations, investors should focus on the bigger picture.

With trust in traditional financial systems eroding, gold is increasingly seen as a reliable store of value. Central banks are buying gold at a rapid pace, while many retail investors are selling prematurely, driven by short-term price movements. This dichotomy highlights a significant opportunity for investors who can resist the temptation to time the market.

The speakers warned of a looming monetary reset and the potential for hyperinflation, drawing historical parallels with Weimar Germany’s devastating experience.

As global debt continues to balloon, the value of fiat currencies is likely to plummet, causing gold prices to skyrocket.

In this scenario, investors who have allocated a portion of their portfolio to gold will be well-positioned to weather the storm.

The conversation also touched on the effect of inflation and monetary policy on personal debt. With inflation on the rise, fixed-rate mortgages become effectively cheaper over time, making it a sound financial strategy to hold gold while paying down debt.

This counterintuitive approach can help investors build wealth while minimizing their exposure to the risks associated with fiat currencies.

Some investors may be hesitant to invest in gold, fearing they’ve “missed the boat.” However, the speakers argue that the fundamental value of gold relative to global debt implies a much higher intrinsic price.

With significant gains potentially on the horizon, waiting too long to invest in gold may prove costly. As the demand for gold continues to rise, acquiring it will become increasingly difficult and expensive.

As the global economic landscape continues to evolve, staying informed and adopting a long-term perspective will be crucial for investors seeking to protect their wealth.

In a world where uncertainty is the only constant, gold remains a beacon of stability.

By understanding its enduring value and adopting a sound investment strategy, investors can navigate the challenges ahead with confidence.

IMF Signals Lower Global Inflation and the Need for Trade Integration

Inflation forecasts ease amid shifting global demand — but new IMF focus on trade cooperation highlights changing economic architecture.

 Overview

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised its outlook for global inflation, predicting a continued decline through 2026 and into 2027. IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva spoke at the Annual Arab Fiscal Forum in Dubai, emphasizing that softer demand and lower energy prices should bring global inflation down to around 3.8% in 2026, and further to about 3.4% by 2027. At the same time, the IMF is calling for greater trade integration to counter rising unilateral trade agreements and fragmentation, a stance with implications for international economic cooperation and monetary flows.

Key Developments

1. Global Inflation Projected to Decline Significantly
The IMF now forecasts that global inflation will continue its downward trajectory, with inflation expected to drop to 3.8% in 2026, from higher levels seen over previous years, and further to 3.4% in 2027. This outlook is supported by softening global demand and reduced energy prices, even as growth remains broadly resilient.

2. Trade Integration Prioritized Amid Rising Fragmentation
Georgieva stressed that trade integration is crucial in a world where unilateral trade agreements have proliferated. She noted that while global trade did not collapse as feared, it has grown only slightly more slowly than global output — underscoring the need for deeper cooperation rather than fragmented bilateral arrangements. “In the world of trade fragmentation, more trade integration is absolutely paramount,” she said.

3. Global Growth Holds Up Despite Headwinds
Despite geopolitical shifts, demographic change, and evolving trade policy dynamics, the IMF chief observed that overall global economic growth has held up “remarkably well.” This reflects a degree of resilience even as risks from protectionism, geopolitical tensions, and technological shifts continue to shape outlooks.

4. Implications for Policy and Cooperation
The IMF’s message signals a renewed emphasis on multilateral economic frameworks to sustain growth and manage inflation. In an era of rising protectionist pressures, stronger trade ties could help stabilize supply chains, support investment, and enhance productivity — factors seen as integral to long-term global stability.

Why It Matters

Falling inflation expectations reduce the pressure on central banks to maintain aggressive interest rate stances, which in turn shapes global capital flows, currency valuations, and debt servicing costs. At the same time, the call for trade integration indicates a potential pivot back toward cooperative economic frameworks — a notable shift from recent years’ trend toward bilateral or regional trade deals.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Foreign currency holders and reserve managers will be watching these developments closely:

• Lower inflation worldwide can bolster confidence in less volatile currency environments.

• Growing emphasis on trade integration could lead to more synchronized economic cycles — potentially stabilizing exchange rate pressures.

• Reduced volatility in global price levels may diminish demand for traditional inflation hedges, reshaping reserve diversification strategies.

These dynamics interact with broader monetary realignment narratives that underpin potential shifts in reserve currency composition and capital allocation preferences.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Monetary Policy Evolution
Easing inflation allows major central banks more flexibility to balance growth and price stability. The shift may ease constraints on fiscal policy in some countries, with knock-on effects for currency strength and capital flows.

Pillar 2 — Trade and Cooperation as Structural Pillars
The IMF’s emphasis on trade integration underscores that economic architecture is not just monetary — it is also institutional and structural. Deeper trade cooperation can support more resilient global growth models that are less dependent on narrow monetary dominance.

The inflation winds are shifting — but the global economy’s direction will be shaped just as much by trade cooperation as by monetary conditions.

BRICS Member Snubs America’s Drone Deal

Indonesia rejects security-linked trade pressure as BRICS alignment reshapes global diplomacy

This is not just a trade dispute — it’s a signal of shifting power dynamics in global negotiations.

Overview

BRICS member Indonesia has rejected a proposed U.S. deal to purchase American surveillance drones during sensitive trade negotiations with Washington, citing constitutional limits, national sovereignty, and regional security concerns. The move underscores a growing trend among emerging economies to resist security-linked trade conditions, particularly as geopolitical tensions rise in the South China Sea and the BRICS bloc continues to assert strategic independence.

Indonesia’s decision comes even as talks with the U.S. continue on fuel imports, tariff reductions, and expanded market access, highlighting a clear separation between economic cooperation and military or surveillance commitments.

Key Developments

1. Indonesia Rejects U.S. Drone Purchase Proposal
According to reports, Indonesia declined to include the purchase of American surveillance drones in a broader tariff and trade negotiation package with the United States. Officials cited constitutional constraints and emphasized that national defense decisions cannot be tied to trade concessions, marking a rare and direct pushback against Washington’s negotiation strategy.

2. Sovereignty and South China Sea Tensions Drive Decision
Indonesia’s rejection is widely viewed as an effort to ease tensions in the South China Sea, where surveillance and military assets are highly sensitive. By avoiding deeper security entanglements with the U.S., Jakarta aims to preserve its non-aligned posture and reduce the risk of escalation with China while maintaining regional balance within ASEAN.

3. BRICS Alignment Signals Strategic Shift
Indonesia joined BRICS in 2025, and its stance reflects a broader pattern within the bloc: emerging economies are increasingly unwilling to accept one-sided or coercive trade arrangements tied to defense or security obligations. This aligns with BRICS’ emphasis on sovereignty, multipolarity, and economic cooperation free from political conditionality.

4. Contrast With U.S. Trade Pressure Elsewhere
The development follows broader frustration with U.S. trade tactics. Even India, set to chair the BRICS summit, recently finalized a major trade agreement with the European Union, prompting criticism from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The contrast highlights how partners are diversifying away from U.S.-centric trade frameworks.

Why It Matters

Indonesia’s decision marks a clear boundary between trade and security — a line many Global South nations are now drawing. The refusal weakens Washington’s ability to use defense deals as leverage and strengthens BRICS’ narrative of economic cooperation without political strings attached.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Reduced reliance on U.S. security-linked trade frameworks supports currency diversification.

• Strengthening BRICS cohesion increases the likelihood of local-currency trade and settlement mechanisms.

• Sovereignty-first trade policies reduce exposure to U.S. policy volatility and sanctions risk.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Decline of Security-Linked Dollar Diplomacy
Indonesia’s move signals diminishing effectiveness of U.S. leverage that combines trade access with defense commitments, weakening traditional dollar-centric influence channels.

Pillar 2 — Multipolar Trade Architecture Expands
As BRICS members and Global South nations resist coercive deals, trade is increasingly routed through alternative blocs, currencies, and institutions, accelerating the transition toward a multipolar economic order.

Indonesia’s “no” to Washington is a “yes” to sovereignty — and another quiet step toward a multipolar world.

So... Is The Gold Boom Over?

So... Is The Gold Boom Over?

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  February 2, 2026

It wasn’t until somewhat recent history that the price of gold was less than $1,000 per troy ounce. Now (as you probably know), the price of gold has just dropped by $1,000 in only a matter of days. Silver's decline was even more violent.

Much ink has already been spilled over this, suggesting that “the gold bubble has burst”. Naturally we have a different view.  It started on Thursday when the White House announced that Kevin Warsh would be nominated as the next Federal Reserve Chairman.

Warsh is known to be ‘hawkish’, prompting speculation that he would keep rates higher to combat inflation. A lot of people obviously viewed this as bad for gold, prompting an unprecedented wave of selling.

So is that it? Is the precious metals boom over?

Not by a long shot.

Again, I don't say that because of any fanaticism over precious metals. I don’t fall in love with any asset.

But I do understand the big picture story driving gold prices, and that story hasn't changed.

(Note: we're going to focus on gold in this article and leave silver for another time, since silver has different factors at play.)

The first thing that’s important to remember is the reason WHY gold reached such heights over the past few years: foreign central banks.

Central banks have always purchased gold as a strategic reserve asset; this is nothing new. In fact, in 2018 and 2019, before Covid upended the world, central bank gold purchases totaled roughly 650 metric tons.

By 2022, however, central banks started purchasing a LOT more gold— roughly 1,000 metric tons per year, a 50% increase over the long-term average.

The same thing happened in 2023. And again in 2024.

Those extra central bank gold purchases caused a surge in demand... and gold prices roughly doubled in price over that three-year period.

So what was so special about 2022 that prompted central banks to start buying more gold?

Simple. It was the start of a long-term trend of foreign countries losing faith in the US government.

They watched Joe Biden shake hands with thin air. They witnessed the humiliating debacle in Afghanistan. They observed rising US budget deficits and a national debt spiraling out of control. They saw inflation rising.

All of these events made foreign governments and central banks question how much they wanted to keep buying Treasury bonds.

But the real watershed moment came after the invasion of Ukraine.

The US government's response was to freeze Russian assets; Congress then soon passed the REPO Act, giving the President authority to seize Russian sovereign reserves.

This sent shockwaves through foreign governments around the world. Suddenly they felt like their money was no longer safe in America— that the US government could freeze their reserve assets without warning.

I'm not arguing whether this was right or wrong from a moral perspective. But from a practical standpoint, though, it had an obvious consequence: foreign countries wanted to start diversifying their reserve assets away from US dollars and from the United States.

And in their efforts to diversify away from the dollar, gold became the easiest strategic reserve asset for those foreign central banks to buy.

Again, the trend continued throughout 2023 and 2024.

2024 was particularly interesting because the gold price was clearly surging— almost exclusively due to foreign central bank demand.

Yet, despite gold’s obvious rise, individual investors weren’t having any of it. In fact, in 2024, gold ETF saw net OUTFLOWS totaling MINUS 2.9 metric tons. This means that individual investors were net sellers of gold, even as foreign central banks were buying by the ton.

2025 became the year gold went parabolic, rising to $4,500 by year end.

But the key growth driver in 2025 was not central banks. In fact, foreign central banks dialed back their purchases to around 800 metric tons last year—still more than normal, but less than the record 1,100 tons from 2024.

Individual investor demand made up the difference in a big way. Net ETF inflows swung from minus 2.9 tons to plus 801 tons. That's a massive turnaround. On top of that, there was significantly more demand for gold bars and coins.

Bottom line, much of gold’s very recent parabolic price move is because small (and large) investors piled in. Those investors are now dumping their gold because they’re spooked about Kevin Warsh.

Our readers should not be surprised by this pullback; we've been talking about the possibility of a short-term shakeout for some time.

And while I'm not smart enough to know what's going to happen next week or next month, it’s clear that the real story (i.e. foreign governments and central banks losing confidence in the United States Congress) has not gone away.

Think about it— America is deeply divided. The Federal Reserve is in crisis. The US government has shut down for the second time in four months. The national debt keeps rising (now $38.6 trillion). And hardly anyone in Congress seems to care.

Do you think all of this makes foreign governments and central banks want to hold more of their reserve assets in the US, or less?

We think the answer is clearly less, and hence the trend that began in 2022 will likely continue.

Foreign governments and central banks are sitting on $10+ trillion in foreign reserves— most of that parked in US dollars.

Their “extra” gold purchases since 2022 (i.e. they amount of gold they bought each year above the historic average) only totals around $100 billion, i.e. roughly ONE PERCENT of their reserves.

Would it be so crazy to assume that they might want to diversify TWO percent? Or maybe 5%? If so, there could be a LOT more money coming in to gold.

And if a mere 1% of foreign reserves cause the gold price to skyrocket, how high will the gold price go if they park 5% or more?

Again, this isn’t something that’s going to happen tomorrow. It’s a long-term trend. But the point is that the story hasn’t changed.

Remember that in the early 1970s, the gold price increased 5x for similar reasons— US deficits and fiscal woes. But gold peaked in 1975, then fell by a whopping 40%.

A lot of people thought the gold boom was over. But it wasn’t. Again, the story hadn’t changed.

And shortly after, gold resumed its rise, climbing another 8x. It took the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980— someone who was serious about restoring fiscal order— for the trend to finally stop.

I don’t know how far gold might fall. But I do know the fundamental story hasn’t changed.

It also seems pretty obvious that many gold companies (whose share prices have plummeted since Friday) are now quite cheap.

For example, one mining company we’ve written up in our premium investment research recently confirmed that their mining costs for this year will be $1,200 per ounce or less.

Their stock price is down substantially since Friday, which is crazy. The gold price could fall to $3,000, and the company would still be trading at a single-digit P/E ratio.

(Did I mention they’re debt-free and pay a healthy dividend?)

There are plenty of other undervalued gold companies out there, so definitely consider giving our premium investment research a try.

For his part, President Barzani welcomed the visiting delegation and expressed his gratitude for America’s role and supportive stances towards the people of Kurdistan, noting that without the United States’ position and support in 1991, we would not have been able to protect the achievements of the uprising or establish the Kurdistan Region’s parliament and government.

The two sides also exchanged views in detail and in depth on the political process in Iraq, and stressed the importance of adhering to the constitution. They also agreed on the need for Iraqis to decide their own affairs, on the basis of partnership, balance and consensus.

In this context, both sides expressed their welcome for the dialogues and consultations that were recently held in Baghdad to develop and formulate political mechanisms and scenarios that take into account the interests of Iraqis and ensure the strengthening of the American-Iraqi partnership in various fields.   link

Tishwash:  "By order of the President"... Iranian-American negotiations to begin within days

Iranian media reported on Monday that negotiations between Iran and the United States could begin in the next few days, with the participation of high-level officials from both sides.

The Tasnim news agency, which is close to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, quoted an informed source as saying that the chances of negotiations starting have become high, noting that the place and time of the meeting have not yet been decided.

The source explained that the negotiations are likely to be held at the level of Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and US envoy Steve Wittkopf, if a final framework is agreed upon in the coming days.

Fars News Agency quoted an informed source in the Iranian government as saying that the Iranian president had ordered the start of negotiations with the United States, noting that talks with the United States would most likely be held in Turkey within days.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei said during a press conference today that Tehran is studying the details of various diplomatic avenues to address tensions with the United States, adding that Iran hopes to reach results in the coming days.

Earlier, the Hebrew newspaper Maariv quoted an Israeli source as saying that US President Donald Trump is demanding five main conditions from Iran: handing over about 400 kilograms of enriched uranium, dismantling the nuclear and ballistic missile programs, halting the missile program, and ending support for proxies in Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon.

The source added that "Israel realizes that Iran will not be willing to discuss these demands collectively or individually," considering that "the current stage is characterized by procrastination." link

Sun. 1 Feb. 2026: TIER 4B WAS NEVER DESIGNED TO BE ANNOUNCED. IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE RECOGNIZED. …https://t.me/Tier4B_ISO20022

FOR YEARS PEOPLE WERE CONDITIONED TO WAIT FOR EVENTS, DATES, PAYOUTS, AND OFFICIAL STATEMENTS. THAT WAITING STATE WAS THE TRAP. WHILE ATTENTION WAS LOCKED ON POLITICS, WARS, AND ECONOMIC PANIC, THE REAL OPERATION MOVED QUIETLY UNDERNEATH THE NOISE.

THE SYSTEM DID NOT COLLAPSE. IT CHANGED ITS OPERATING STANDARD. WHEN OLD PARAMETERS CAN NO LONGER SUSTAIN VOLUME, CONTROL, AND TRUST, A NEW LAYER IS INTRODUCED. NOT PUBLICLY. NOT DEMOCRATICALLY. SILENTLY. THIS IS WHERE TIER 4B ENTERS THE PICTURE. NOT AS A PAYMENT GROUP, BUT AS A POSITIONAL CLASSIFICATION. A WAY TO IDENTIFY WHO ADAPTS TO THE NEW FLOW WITHOUT NEEDING INSTRUCTIONS.

TIER 4B DESCRIBES THE PEOPLE WHO REMAINED ONLINE WHEN THE GRID WENT QUIET. THE ONES WHO WATCHED SYSTEM BEHAVIOR INSTEAD OF HEADLINES. THE ONES WHO NOTICED THAT LANGUAGE STARTED CHANGING BEFORE REALITY DID. REGULATIONS BEGAN SOUNDING LIKE SIGNALS. INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS SHARED WORDS WITH FINANCIAL RUMORS. THIS OVERLAP IS NOT ACCIDENTAL. IT IS HOW TRANSITIONS ARE HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT.

WHEN ENGINES CAN NO LONGER OPERATE UNDER OLD LIMITS, THEY ARE FORCED TO BECOME CLEANER. WHEN NETWORKS CAN NO LONGER HANDLE TRAFFIC, THEY ARE FORCED TO BECOME QUIETER. WHEN BANKS CAN NO LONGER MOVE WEIGHT VISIBLY, THEY ARE FORCED TO BECOME INVISIBLE. THIS IS THE FINAL PHASE OF ANY SYSTEM: NOT COLLAPSE, BUT INVISIBILITY.

THIS IS WHY THERE ARE NO REAL ANNOUNCEMENTS. NO CONFIRMATION CALLS. NO OFFICIAL DATES. REAL SHIFTS DO NOT REQUIRE PERMISSION. THEY REQUIRE ALIGNMENT. THE PEOPLE WAITING FOR A SIGNAL TO ACT WERE NEVER PART OF THE SIGNAL ITSELF. THE PEOPLE WHO EXPECT A MESSAGE MISSED THE PATTERN.

TIER 4B DOES NOT CONTACT YOU. IT OBSERVES YOU. RECOGNITION IS NOT BASED ON BELIEF OR LOYALTY. IT IS BASED ON RESPONSE. WHO STAYS CALM DURING CHAOS. WHO TRACKS FLOW INSTEAD OF FEAR. WHO ADJUSTS WITHOUT PANIC. THIS IS WHY SCAMS ATTACH THEMSELVES TO THE TERM. THEY NEED URGENCY, CONFUSION, AND YOUR ATTENTION. THE REAL PROCESS NEEDS NONE OF THAT. IT IS ALREADY MOVING.

TIER 4B IS NOT THE ENDGAME. IT IS THE HANDOVER POINT. THE MOMENT WHEN THE OLD STRUCTURE CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE WITHOUT BECOMING SOMETHING ELSE. BY THE TIME THE PUBLIC REALIZES WHAT HAS CHANGED, THE CHANGE WILL ALREADY FEEL NORMAL. THAT IS HOW YOU KNOW IT WORKED.

STAY STILL. STAY AWARE. DO NOT LOOK FOR THE NOISE. WATCH THE ROUTES. THE GRID IS QUIET FOR A REASON.

THE GREEN LIGHT IS ALREADY GIVEN. MOST WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS LATER. A FEW WILL SEE IT FIRST.

Sun. 1 Feb. 2026 Right now in the United States, there are too many “coincidences” happening at once to ignore. …Nesara Gesara Secrets on Telegram

This is where the NESARA / GESARA narrative starts to make sense for many people watching closely. The shift away from pure speculation toward asset-backed value, the quiet emphasis on settlement over debt, and the gradual removal of middlemen all point in the same direction. The QFS doesn’t arrive with a headline or a press conference. It shows up as cleaner transaction flows, different timing, and systems that no longer behave the way the old model did.

The Fed “RESET” Is a LIE: Wall Street Is Bracing for Trump's Fed Chair Kevin Warsh

Lena Petrova:  2-2-2026

Kevin Warsh at the Federal Reserve is being sold as a radical reset — but is it really?

 In this video, we cut through the hype to explain who Kevin Warsh actually is, what a Fed chair can and cannot do, and what a Warsh-led Federal Reserve would realistically mean for interest rates, inflation, liquidity, and the U.S. dollar.

 From the 2008 financial crisis to today’s balance-sheet debate, this is a clear, sober look at why the coming shift in monetary policy is likely managed — not revolutionary.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Historic Metals Market Crash — Dollar Strength & Risk Reallocation

Gold and silver suffer one of their most violent reversals in decades, signaling a shift in investor positioning and dollar dominance.

Overview

The precious metals complex experienced a dramatic sell-off in late January and early February 2026, with silver posting historic one-day declines and gold plunging sharply from record highs. This “metals meltdown” reversed months of parabolic rally gains and rippled through global financial markets, driven by a confluence of market forces — including a stronger U.S. dollar, forced liquidations, and tightening futures market conditions.

Key Developments

1. Historic Plunge in Gold and Silver Prices
Gold and silver saw unprecedented intraday volatility. Silver’s price collapsed by more than 30% in a single session, marking one of the worst drops on record, while gold endured its biggest daily dollar decline in decades. Silver closed around the $80 per ounce area after a brutal sell-off from parabolic highs, and gold slid nearly $1,000 from its peak near $5,600 per ounce.

2. Dollar Strength Intensifies the Sell-Off
The rebound in the U.S. dollar — spurred largely by the market’s reaction to President Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve Chair — weighed heavily on non-yielding assets like precious metals. A firmer dollar typically makes gold and silver more expensive in other currencies, prompting traders to exit positions and rotate capital into dollar-linked instruments.

3. Forced Liquidations and Margin Pressure
The metals crash did not occur in isolation. Exchange operators, including the CME Group, raised margin requirements on futures contracts to contain extreme volatility. This move squeezed leveraged positions and triggered cascading liquidations as traders were forced out of crowded trades, accelerating the downward spiral in prices.

4. Broader Commodities and Market Impact
The sell-off in precious metals extended beyond gold and silver. Industrial metals like copper, tin, and zinc also fell sharply as markets unwound crowded positions. The broader commodities slump pressured Asian equity markets, especially in Korea and Indonesia, illustrating how volatility in one corner of markets can quickly propagate across asset classes.

Why It Matters

This metals rout underscores key shifts in investor behavior and global asset allocation:

• Safe-haven assets can lose appeal rapidly when macro drivers pivot — especially when interest rate expectations and currency strength change suddenly.

• Leverage and positioning matter: crowded trades built on speculative momentum can unwind violently, amplifying moves far beyond fundamentals.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For those managing currency exposure or reserve portfolios, the metals crash is a reminder that:

• Currency strength — particularly in the dollar — can dramatically alter perceived hedges.

• Traditional “safe haven” comparisons may fail during rapid repricing events, prompting re-evaluations of diversification strategies.
  This dynamic feeds into broader discussions of reserve asset allocation in an increasingly multipolar financial system.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 – Market Fragility Exposed
The metals price collapse highlights structural weaknesses in futures markets, especially when speculative positioning and leverage collide with tightening conditions. Stress in one global asset class can quickly transmit to FX and broader financial markets.

Pillar 2 – Confidence Shifts and Reserve Rethinking
A sharp move away from gold and silver — typically seen as stores of value — in favor of dollar strength reflects a temporary confidence shift that can influence central bank reserve strategy and global asset hierarchies.

This isn’t just a correction — it’s a stress test of how markets balance risk, leverage, and safe-haven appeal in a new era of volatility.

Stablecoin and Money System Debate Heats Up

Wall Street, regulators, and crypto innovators clash over the future of money — with stablecoins at the center of a systemic shift in payments and financial architecture.

Overview

The battle over stablecoins — digital assets designed to maintain price stability relative to a fiat currency — has intensified into a full-blown debate over the future of money, financial stability, and monetary innovation. Traditional banks and Wall Street giants are pushing for tighter controls or bank-led stablecoin initiatives, while crypto firms argue for more openness and expanded use cases. Meanwhile, regulators in multiple jurisdictions are racing to craft frameworks that balance innovation with systemic risk.

Key Developments

1. Wall Street vs Crypto: A High-Stakes Stablecoin Power Struggle
A major Financial Times report highlights how traditional banks and crypto firms are locked in a struggle over stablecoin regulation and market access. Banks argue that unregulated stablecoin products — especially those offering interest — could threaten financial stability and lead to deposit flight, while crypto advocates counter that restrictive rules would stifle innovation and competition. Washington has become a key battleground, with intense lobbying from both sides shaping proposed legislation.

2. Emerging Regulation in Asia Signals Global Momentum
In Asia, regulators are progressing rapidly — the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) plans to issue its first stablecoin licenses in March 2026, signaling a major step toward formalizing digital currency infrastructure in a leading financial hub. These licenses will require strong anti-money-laundering measures and robust risk-management practices, but they also open the door to institutional actors participating legally in stablecoin issuance.

3. Banks Warn of Deposit Risks and Competitive Pressure
Independent research from Standard Chartered estimates stablecoins could pull up to $500 billion in deposits out of U.S. banks by 2028, intensifying competition for core banking functions such as deposits and payments. This projection highlights the structural threat stablecoins pose when they are widely adopted for everyday financial use.

4. Broader Use Cases and Institutional Adoption Grow
Beyond crypto trading, stablecoins are increasingly used in cross-border payments, remittances, and digital settlements, as noted by market research. Stablecoin market capitalizations continue to expand, and financial institutions are exploring tokenized payments and integration with existing treasury systems. This evolution suggests stablecoins are transitioning from niche crypto instruments to mainstream financial infrastructure.

Why It Matters

Stablecoins sit at the intersection of traditional finance and digital innovation. How they are regulated and integrated will shape:

• The structure of global payment systems

• The role of central banks and commercial banks in digital money

• The velocity and liquidity of cross-border capital flows

A regulatory regime that favors crypto issuance could accelerate a shift away from legacy financial rails and toward 24/7 digital settlement infrastructure.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Stablecoins tied to major currencies (especially the U.S. dollar and euro) influence:

• Liquidity preferences in FX markets

• Portfolio allocations toward digital assets

• Reserve diversification strategies

If stablecoins capture more utility beyond trading — such as global payments or treasury functions — they could reduce reliance on traditional FX corridors and dollar liquidity provisioning.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Monetary Innovation Meets Policy Frameworks
Stablecoins are forcing policymakers to reconsider what constitutes money, credit, and payment systems in a digitally native era. Establishing secure, scalable legal frameworks may redefine how value is transferred and stored globally.

Pillar 2 — Fragmenting or Reinforcing the Dollar Regime
Stablecoins denominated in USD can either reinforce dollar dominance by providing new rails and liquidity or erode it by enabling alternative clearing systems and bypassing traditional banking intermediaries.

Stablecoins aren’t a fringe innovation — they’re shaping the next chapter of money.

Global Equity Markets and FX React to Fed Nomination

Trump’s choice for Federal Reserve Chair rattles markets — equities slide, currencies shift, and global risk sentiment realigns.

Overview

Global financial markets dipped sharply as investors reacted to growing uncertainty over President Donald Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chair. Equity futures, major international indices, and currency markets showed heightened volatility as traders reassessed expectations for U.S. monetary policy and central bank independence. The move is widely interpreted as a potential shift toward tighter monetary policy and reduced market support — sparking broader reactions across global risk assets.

Key Developments

1. U.S. Futures and Global Shares Slide
Equity futures in the United States fell, with major indices such as the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average showing losses ahead of the trading week. Asian markets also declined, with South Korea’s benchmark Kospi falling more than 5%, while European indices opened modestly lower. Losses were broad-based, hitting tech, industrial, and financial sectors alike as risk assets shed value.

2. Impact on Currencies and Safe Havens
Concerns about potential changes in the Fed’s direction bolstered the U.S. dollar relative to major peers, reducing the appeal of non-yielding assets. The retreat in gold and silver prices, which had previously benefitted from safe-haven demand amid uncertainty, reflects renewed confidence in policy clarity but also underscores the complexity of market reactions.

3. Policy Independence and Market Confidence
Investors are closely watching whether Warsh’s nomination signals a shift in the Federal Reserve’s independence from presidential influence. Some market participants fear political pressures could influence rate decisions or balance-sheet policies, raising questions about central bank credibility and the future trajectory of interest rates.

4. Broader Commodities and Risk Assets Slide
The sell-off in equity markets was accompanied by weakness in commodities. Precious metals, energy, and industrial metals reflected broader risk aversion and changing expectations for global demand and financial conditions. This dynamic suggests that the ripple effects from a major central bank leadership change can extend far beyond U.S. markets.

Why It Matters

Central banks are fundamental pillars of the modern financial system. Market reactions to leadership changes at the Federal Reserve don’t just influence short-term asset prices — they impact global liquidity, currency valuations, risk premiums, and capital flows. A perception of reduced independence or altered policy stance can reshape investment decisions from New York to Shanghai.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

FX markets are highly sensitive to monetary policy shifts and perceived shifts in central banking philosophy:

• A stronger dollar makes foreign debt service more expensive for emerging markets;

• Currency diversification strategies may accelerate when reserve expectations change;

• Cross-border flows can shift rapidly in response to policy uncertainty.

These dynamics often operate beneath headline headlines but ultimately shape reserve management and international investment decisions.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Policy Certainty vs Market Nervousness
Uncertainty about the Fed’s future priorities may accelerate structural reallocation of assets — from riskier equities to more defensive positions — and highlight how central bank policy influences global financial equilibrium.

Pillar 2 — Interconnectedness of Markets and Monetary Signals
Equity, FX, and commodity markets are now tightly coupled with expectations for major central bank leadership. This coupling suggests that monetary policy shifts — or even the perception of such shifts — are potent forces in global economic realignment.

Central bank leadership isn’t just a Washington story — it’s a pivot point for global money flows and market psychology.

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.

For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Our mission here is different:   • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.

You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents.       Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.
