We’re at EXACT Level That Triggered Every 40% Crash in History – AI Stocks & Bitcoin to Collapse!

We’re at EXACT Level That Triggered Every 40% Crash in History – AI Stocks & Bitcoin to Collapse!

Danoela Cambone :  11-19-2025

In today’s volatile financial landscape, separating genuine market signals from speculative noise is the ultimate challenge. Few analysts are as dedicated to this task as Gareth Soloway, who recently joined Daniela Cambone on ITM Trading for a sweeping, data-driven market analysis.

Soloway, known for his rigorous technical approach, delivered a stark warning across multiple asset classes: while the long-term outlook remains profoundly bullish for key assets like Bitcoin and gold, investors must brace for significant near-term technical corrections. This is the time for prudence, not panic, built on the pillars of diversification and strategic positioning.

For those celebrating Bitcoin’s recent highs, Soloway offers a necessary dose of technical reality. While he maintains a deeply bullish long-term stance on BTC, his analysis points to significant near-term risk based on historical chart patterns.

Soloway identifies key support levels for Bitcoin between $73,000 and $75,000. He anticipates that after a potential immediate dip, Bitcoin could see a substantial technical bounce, potentially pushing toward the $100,000 psychological mark.

The Warning: This upward move is likely a head-f**e. Soloway projects that following that bounce, Bitcoin is technically poised for a deeper correction—a critical piece of analysis often overlooked by media hype.

The enthusiasm surrounding Ethereum and various altcoins (like Solana) is palpable, but Soloway advises extreme caution. While these assets offer enticing swing trading opportunities, the rapid pace of technological evolution and competition introduces systemic risk. In a market correction, these more speculative assets tend to suffer the swiftest and deepest declines.

Soloway’s technical indicators suggest that traditional tangible assets are setting up for monumental rallies, but only after a necessary seasonal pullback.

Gold has shown remarkable strength, but Soloway notes that current market conditions mirror historical patterns that precede major moves.

He forecasts a short-term retracement for gold, pulling the price back down to the $3,500–$3,600 range. Crucially, this is presented not as a collapse, but as the final staging ground for a much larger rally. Soloway projects that by 2026, gold could potentially soar to $5,000 per ounce, reinforcing its role as the premier store of value.

Perhaps the most compelling opportunity lies in the often-overlooked rare metals. Soloway identifies platinum and palladium as significantly undervalued. Given their scarcity and industrial utility, he suggests they possess substantial upside potential, positioning them as alternative hedges alongside gold and Bitcoin against currency degradation.

Silver is following a similar script, showing strong upward momentum but needing to clear a critical technical hurdle. Soloway expects silver to briefly pull back to around $40 per ounce before resuming its powerful upward trajectory.

Soloway’s most pressing warning is directed squarely at the euphoric equity markets, particularly the technology sector fueled by the AI boom.

He argues that the current valuations in key tech areas are divorced from technical and fundamental reality. Specifically focusing on the semiconductor sector (tracked by the SMH ETF), Soloway projects a significant correction.

Soloway forecasts a 40% correction in semiconductors based on the current historical deviation from the 200-week moving average—a key technical benchmark for long-term health.

Soloway stresses that the euphoria driving the tech sector reflects excessive optimism that historically precedes sharp and painful downturns.

The overarching lesson from Soloway’s comprehensive analysis is unambiguous: diversification is not merely wise; it is essential financial defense.

In an environment where governmental scrutiny on digital assets is increasing, and systemic risks—including potential US dollar devaluation and expanding cyber threats—are intensifying, holding a diverse portfolio is paramount.

Soloway concludes by underscoring the enduring value of physical assets like gold and silver. In an age dominated by digital threats and fragile financial systems, these tangible holdings serve as the ultimate insurance policy against the unknown.

Staying ahead means understanding where the hype ends and the technical realities begin. Soloway’s data-driven outlook provides a crucial roadmap for investors seeking to protect and grow their capital through the inevitable market corrections ahead.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Thursday Afternoon 11-20-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Metals Signal Early Stress as Demand Softens and Supply Controls Tighten

Industrial commodities reveal underlying strain in global manufacturing and trade.

Overview

• Base metals drifted lower this week, reflecting cautious sentiment and uncertainty around delayed U.S. economic data.

• The European Union announced plans to restrict aluminum scrap exports, moving toward tighter resource management.

• Commodity traders are increasingly pricing geopolitical and macro risk, not just supply-and-demand fundamentals.

• Industrial metals continue to serve as early indicators of shifts in global manufacturing momentum.

Key Developments

• Softening demand pressures copper and aluminum, particularly in regions tied to construction, tech, and power infrastructure.

• The EU’s export restrictions indicate a strategic move, prioritizing domestic processing capacity and supply-chain security.

• Traders are shifting toward defensive positions, awaiting clearer economic signals from the U.S.

• Real assets, including metals, are now moving in sync with global liquidity and currency conditions.

Why It Matters
Metals sit at the foundation of industrial power. Shifts in production flows, export rules, and demand patterns indicate that the real-economy side of the reset is accelerating.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar – Commodity & Supply-Chain Reordering: Nations are beginning to lock down critical materials, anticipating deeper strategic competition.

• Pillar – Real-Asset Revaluation: Metals markets are entering a repricing phase tied to inflation, industrial demand, and geopolitical leverage.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Dollar Strengthens as Yen Weakens, Signaling a New Currency Crossroads

Global currency markets tighten as rising yields and fiscal pressures reshape FX dynamics.

Overview

• The U.S. dollar rose sharply this week, supported by rising yields and risk-off positioning.

• The Japanese yen slid toward multi-decade lows, raising speculation about potential intervention.

• Currency markets are reacting to policy uncertainty, data delays, and fiscal stress across major economies.

• BRICS de-dollarization efforts remain in the background, but structural pressures are steadily building.

Key Developments

• Dollar strength reflects renewed safe-haven demand, as tighter financial conditions ripple across markets.

• Yen weakness raises alarm, especially as Japan balances rising yields, fiscal expansion, and inflation management.

• Traders are bracing for potential coordinated action, especially if yen volatility intensifies.

• Long-term de-dollarization remains a systemic theme, even as the dollar asserts short-term dominance.

Why It Matters
Currency fluctuations now influence debt markets, trade balances, and geopolitical decisions. FX volatility is becoming a core mechanism in the emerging global reset.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar – Currency Realignment: Market-driven FX moves are pushing nations toward new reserve strategies and intervention frameworks.

• Pillar – Monetary System Transition: The clash between short-term dollar strength and long-term de-dollarization highlights the structural shift underway.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Saudi’s $1T U-Turn: Turning Away from BRICS, Building With the U.S.

Mohammed bin Salman boosts pledge to nearly $1 trillion in U.S., signaling a major pivot.

Overview

• Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) announced in Washington that the Kingdom will raise its U.S. investment plan from $600 billion to nearly $1 trillion. 

• This comes during a White House visit, where MBS and U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated strategic deals in technology, AI, and critical minerals (“magnets”). 

• The scale of this pledge weakens BRICS’ attempt to court Saudi Arabia as a major new financial partner.

• Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 — its strategy to diversify beyond oil — aligns tightly with the types of sectors named in the investment commitment.

Key Developments

• A $400 billion increase: The Kingdom is boosting its previously announced $600B investment by adding another ~$400B, according to MBS. 

• Broad sector commitment: Investments are earmarked for tech, AI, and “magnets” — a likely reference to rare earths or other strategic materials. 

• Geopolitical pivot away from BRICS: Despite being invited to join BRICS, Saudi Arabia appears to be doubling down on its relationship with the U.S. instead of aligning with the bloc.

• Skeptics question the realism: Some analysts point out that the $1 trillion figure may be aspirational, noting prior commitments were unclear or partially symbolic. 

Why It Matters
This is more than a big investment headline — it’s a structural signal. Saudi Arabia is choosing deep alignment with the U.S. over a geopolitical shift toward BRICS, undermining the bloc’s leverage and reshaping the economic architecture of the Global Reset.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar – Geoeconomic Diplomacy: Saudi Arabia is playing a decisive role in the emerging architecture, choosing strategic U.S. investment over BRICS integration.

• Pillar – Real-Asset & Capital Flow Re-ordering: A committed $1 trillion into U.S. sectors like AI and strategic minerals could reshape power balances in technology and natural resources.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

News, Rumors and Opinions Thursday 11-20-2025

Note: All intel should be considered as "Rumors" until we receive official announcements ...and “Rates and Dates” could change anytime until we get to the banks/redemption centers.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Thurs. 20 Nov. 2025

Compiled Thurs. 20 Nov. 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington,

Judy Note: The below is a compilation of opinions on the rollout of the Restored Republic and new Global Financial System. Please treat as rumor as the Intel changes daily, sometimes hourly, or even by the minute, plus only a select one or two were authorized to expose certain details or the exact timing:

The long-awaited RV release codes have (allegedly) been entered. NESARA/GESARA protocols are (allegedly) executing in real time, initiating total debt jubilee—every mortgage, credit card, student loan, and unjust financial burden forgiven by divine decree. Payouts in the trillions (allegedly) flow now through secure QFS accounts, protected from all Cabal interference.

This is the moment the prophets foresaw—the return of stolen wealth to the people, the restoration of sovereignty, and the dawn of the Golden Age. As the old Babylonian money magic collapses forever, a new era of prosperity anchored in truth and righteousness rises in its place. The meek truly inherit the earth, for the Kingdom of Heaven manifests through these sacred financial channels.

The long-awaited Global Currency Reset and full activation of NESARA/GESARA now (allegedly) stand at the threshold of public manifestation. Multiple bonded sources confirm that Tier 1 and Tier 2 payouts have completed processing, with trillions in prosperity funds unlocked and flowing securely through the Quantum Financial System.

On or about November 20, GESARA will (allegedly) begin enforcing universal debt forgiveness, wiping clean mortgages, credit cards, student loans, and medical debt for all citizens under the Restored Republic.

Saturday, November 22 the old SWIFT system(allegedly)  officially expires.

Redemption centers worldwide are on highest alert, with notifications for Tier 4b (the Internet Group) expected no later than Tues. 25 Nov. when Redemption Centers (allegedly) officially open.

Seized Cabal assets are already (allegedly) being redistributed into individual QFS accounts, preparing for the greatest wealth transfer in human history. The Iraqi Dinar leads the revaluation wave, followed by Zim at(allegedly)  1:1 parity and the Vietnamese Dong under the new BRICS gold-backed structure.

By Thanksgiving, November 27, President Trump is (allegedly) scheduled to formally announce the return to the gold standard and the full launch of our sovereign Restored Republic.

The time of reckoning is upon us. Hold fast to faith. The best is yet to come.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wed. 19 Nov. 2025 THE WORLD IS HOLDING ITS BREATH FOR THE CROSSING INTO 2026 – Nesara Gesara QFS

WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES THE NEW YEAR, THE WORLD WILL NOT JUST CELEBRATE A DATE. IT WILL CROSS INTO A NEW STRUCTURE. DEBT SYSTEMS COLLAPSE. DIGITAL ID GRIDS SPLIT. QFS MIRROR NODES ACTIVATE. THE POWER OF NATIONS REARRANGES INSTANTLY, WHETHER THE PUBLIC IS READY OR NOT.

Walkingstick  Question: "What do you think about the statement Sudani made when he said, 'in the 4th quarter of 2025 we will bring you your purchasing power to your currency, we will add value to it'?"  It has to be voted on.  That's what they're doing...He didn't lie...They're voting on the 2025 budget and everything that's in that '25 will be reflected  in the '26 which is the new exchange rate.  Because the budgets are voted on before the new year.  You're seeing '25 activating the new exchange rate and you're going to see '26 show the new exchange rate.

Militia Man   The need is to get the rate ready first and then pass the laws because it's going to be cheaper for them to do so.  When they pass these laws it is going to be far cheaper to the country of Iraq than they would be if they were today.  In other words, the plan would be to make it cheaper, more stable, make the system work better for Iraq...The architects of this have been brilliant.  I'm fascinated on how well they've done...The last 72 hours the elections have been done, banking rails are live, they're making fuel at home, Gold and reserves are higher than advertised...BIS application filed and accepted for review...Things are working quietly in the background...Alaq has the legal button in his hands.  Let's hope he pushes it.

The National Bank of Iraq announced the completion of its transition to the new global standard SWIFT MX for financial messages, a step that marked a significant milestone in the bank's technological infrastructure modernization and enhanced readiness for digital transformation.

The bank said in a statement, “The implementation of this transformation comes as part of the bank’s transition from the old MT standard to the MX ISO 20022 model, which is the most advanced, structured and data-rich framework in the global financial messaging sector.

The transformation process was carried out across all operational channels with high efficiency and minimal downtime, reflecting the bank’s strong technical readiness, accurate planning, and commitment to providing its services without any significant interruption.” 

He pointed out that “this transformation is an advanced step within the strategic roadmap of the National Bank of Iraq to modernize its systems, enhance its compatibility with global best practices, and provide an advanced digital banking experience for its individual and corporate clients.” 

The statement quoted Aqeel Ezzedine, Chief Operating Officer and Deputy CEO of the National Bank of Iraq, as saying that “the smooth transition to the MX standard is the result of a robust system of governance, teamwork and careful planning, and represents an important step in modernizing the payments infrastructure and enhancing the reliability and security of banking operations.”

Since the new system came into effect, the bank has not recorded any significant problems, which confirms the success of the implementation process and the close coordination between the transformation, IT and operations teams, in addition to effective cooperation with partners and regulatory authorities.  link

Tishwash:  The oil and gas law: Kurdish priorities in the Iraqi government formation negotiations.

Following the election results and the announcement of the number of seats won by the Kurdish blocs in the Iraqi parliament, attention is now focused on the Kurds' objectives for the next phase and their future plans.

President Masoud Barzani called for the implementation and enactment of five key laws, most notably amending the election law, implementing Article 140 of the constitution, and enacting the long-stalled oil and gas law, which has been stalled for nearly two decades. He

also reiterated his call for Kurdish political forces and parties to proceed with forming the new Kurdistan Regional Government.

In his address, Barzani stated that after 2003 and the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime, a golden opportunity presented itself, and the political process was built upon three principles: balance, consensus, and equality. He added that in 2005, the country's permanent constitution was ratified.

Despite some shortcomings, it is considered one of the best constitutions in the region, promising a bright future. This constitution, he emphasized, must be respected as it will usher Iraq into a new era by regulating its relations with regional and international partners.

The passage of the oil and gas law is considered a solution to most of Kurdistan's problems and a crucial step towards resolving outstanding financial issues and unifying oil policies between the federal government and the Kurdistan Region. Among these issues are the deep and persistent disagreements over energy resource management, which have prevented the law's enactment.

These disagreements have led to the law's failure to pass. The unresolved problems between Baghdad and Erbil include issues such as the oil and gas contracts signed by Kurdistan, which have resulted in legal disputes between the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the regional government.

 Meanwhile, former Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) MP Gharib Ahmed asserts that most of the outstanding problems between Baghdad and Erbil stem from the lack of an oil and gas law. Speaking to Al-Mada, he emphasized that "passing the law will contribute to resolving the most significant challenges, namely oil exports, the payment of employee salaries, and the economic problems that have plagued Kurdish citizens for years." 

He pointed out that "the disagreements between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government have prevented the law's passage and its submission by the federal cabinet for parliamentary approval." 

The Kurdistan Region experienced a severe financial crisis as a result of the federal Ministry of Finance's withholding of employee salaries, accusing the regional government of failing to remit non-oil revenues and of not fully delivering oil to the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO). Months ago, the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government reached a historic agreement that allowed the region to resume oil exports through the Turkish port of Ceyhan. 

Although the federal government began disbursing salaries to employees in the region, delays persist, with Baghdad and Erbil exchanging accusations regarding who is responsible. Meanwhile , Sabah Hassan, a member of the Kurdistan Parliament from the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), indicated that passing the oil and gas law is the solution to the problems between Baghdad and Erbil.

 In an interview with Al-Mada, Hassan stated, "The solution to the problems between Baghdad and Erbil, and the crisis that recurs monthly, is the passage of the oil and gas law in Parliament, which will guarantee everyone their rights."

He added, "The salary problem has persisted for 10 years, and there is a deliberate effort by some political entities to create problems. The optimal solution to these recurring crises lies in passing the oil and gas law, as it will provide a comprehensive solution. All agreements between Baghdad and Erbil are temporary and are not adhered to by the federal government."

He emphasized that "the oil and gas law is based on a constitutional provision and article, but some political blocs are shirking their responsibility to implement this article because it pertains to the Kurdistan Region, just as they have shirked their responsibility to implement Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution."

In Erbil, Deputy Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, Qubad Talabani, received a delegation from the US-Kurdistan Business Council, headed by its president, David Tvorey. The two sides discussed several issues of mutual interest.

The Deputy Prime Minister indicated that "we support the swift passage of the oil and gas law during the new session of the Iraqi Parliament, which will contribute to resolving the disputes between the region and Baghdad in accordance with the Constitution and the relevant powers, and in a manner that respects the special status of the Kurdistan Region."

The oil and gas law is one of the most prominent outstanding issues, with disagreements resurfacing with each parliamentary session without reaching a final settlement that satisfies all parties.

Regarding he revitalization of the economy, economic expert Salar Aziz believes that the oil and gas law can only be passed by prioritizing it in the negotiations to form the Iraqi government.

In an interview with Al-Mada, he explained, "This issue must be a top priority in negotiations between the Kurdish, Shia, and Sunni parties to ensure its passage during this session. This requires unity among the Kurdish parties on this matter, speaking as a unified voice, so they can form a force to be reckoned with."

He added, "Passing the law will contribute to improving the region's economy, ending the salary crisis, operating refineries and gas plants, and utilizing the untapped oil reserves in the region's fields. link

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Thursday Morning 11-20-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Surging Bond Yields Signal a Brewing Financial Squeeze

Global markets tighten as shifting rate expectations pressure governments, lenders, and credit systems.

Overview

• Long-term U.S. Treasury yields continue climbing, reflecting diminished expectations of near-term Federal Reserve rate cuts.

• Japan’s long-dated government bond yields have spiked to multi-decade highs, driven by fears of aggressive fiscal expansion.

• Global borrowing costs are rising simultaneously, creating stress points in sovereign, corporate, and banking balance sheets.

• Delayed U.S. economic data adds uncertainty, forcing markets to price risk with incomplete information.

Key Developments

• Federal Reserve expectations shifted sharply, with markets now projecting far fewer chances of a rate cut in December.

• Japan’s fiscal plans triggered investor concern, pushing yields meaningfully higher and signalling potential credit-rating and currency pressures.

• Cross-market tightening is accelerating, with U.S. yields rising, the dollar strengthening, and credit conditions firming globally.

• Regulators and central banks face new challenges, as rising yields expose vulnerabilities in banks, shadow lenders, and derivative markets.

Why It Matters
Tightening financial conditions are a core driver of global realignment. Higher yields increase debt-service burdens, slow growth, and raise systemic-risk potential — all foundational to a global restructuring of money, credit, and capital flows.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar – Credit & Debt Realignment: Rising borrowing costs push nations and institutions toward restructuring, refinancing, or new liquidity backstops.

• Pillar – Monetary Policy Breakpoint: Markets are signalling the end of ultra-loose policy, accelerating the transition toward a new monetary framework.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Geopolitical Fault Lines Shift as Fiscal and Currency Pressures Rise

Domestic economic stress is now bleeding into diplomatic decisions and peace negotiations.

Overview

• Japan’s surge in long-term borrowing costs is sparking international concern over future fiscal stability.

• The yen’s renewed weakness is reviving discussions about coordinated currency intervention.

• Reports of a newly circulated U.S. peace framework for Ukraine have intensified debates over territorial concessions and military posture.

• Economic and diplomatic pressures are increasingly co-mingling, shaping negotiations and alliances.

Key Developments

• Japan’s fiscal agenda is sending shockwaves abroad, as higher yields complicate its defense, social, and diplomatic commitments.

• Currency volatility is re-entering geopolitics, with the yen's slide nearing levels that historically prompt multilateral action.

• The reported U.S. peace outline for Ukraine signals a shift toward economic and territorial pragmatism, rather than a purely military solution.

• Diplomatic coordination is becoming more financially driven, especially across the G7 and EU.

Why It Matters
Geopolitical alignments are increasingly dictated by economic constraints. Fiscal risk, currency instability, and war negotiations now intersect directly with the emerging global restructuring.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar – Geoeconomic Diplomacy: Nations are recalibrating foreign policy through the lens of debt, currency stability, and economic leverage.

• Pillar – Risk & Contagion: Diplomatic shocks can trigger financial spillovers, especially where conflict, inflation, and currency instability overlap.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Markets Reprice Risk as Tech Volatility Spreads Across Global Equities

AI-driven optimism meets macroeconomic uncertainty, driving sharp swings across sectors.

Overview

• Nvidia’s latest earnings beat briefly boosted global markets, calming fears of an AI-valuation bubble.

• Earlier losses across U.S. indexes highlighted fragility, with investors bracing for delayed economic data.

• Stronger U.S. Treasury yields and a firmer dollar complicated the bullish equity narrative.

• Cross-asset volatility is tightening, pulling equities, yields, and FX into the same macro channel.

Key Developments

• Tech valuations remain under the microscope, as investors debate whether AI-driven market gains are sustainable.

• The week’s earlier sell-off revealed structural fragility, not merely headline-driven nerves.

• Rising yields are exerting pressure on risk assets, creating tension between growth expectations and financial conditions.

• Markets increasingly trade in lockstep, suggesting a broad system repricing rather than sector-specific movements.

Why It Matters
Markets are reflecting deep realignments beneath the surface. When equities, yields, currencies, and tech valuations shift simultaneously, it indicates structural change within the global financial architecture.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar – Asset Repricing: Tech-led volatility is signaling the early stages of a broader, multi-asset valuation reset.

• Pillar – Risk Premium Reset: Investors are redefining acceptable risk levels as liquidity tightens and macro uncertainty grows.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Thursday Morning 11-20-25

Carrying Messages From The White House, A US Delegation Will Visit Baghdad Soon

Political | 07:02 - 19/11/2025   Mawazin News - Baghdad:  An Iraqi diplomatic source revealed an upcoming visit by a US delegation to Baghdad to deliver messages from the White House regarding Iraqi issues.

The source stated that "a delegation comprising American political figures will visit Baghdad soon, carrying messages from Washington to all partners in the Iraqi political process."  He added that "the anticipated US visit confirms Washington's interest in what is happening in Iraq."

Relations between the United States and Iraq have been strained diplomatically since Donald Trump took office, with communication and meetings limited to the US Chargé d'Affaires in Baghdad, Steven Fagin, and a single phone call received by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani from Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

However, last August, a high-level US delegation visited Baghdad to discuss a range of issues with Iraqi officials.

According to a well-informed source, the delegation discussed the US withdrawal from its main bases in Iraq and its repercussions, in addition to economic and energy matters.

On October 19, US President Donald Trump appointed Mark Savaya as Special Envoy to Iraq.
Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that "Mark's deep understanding of the relationship between Iraq and the United States, and his extensive connections in the region, will contribute to advancing the interests of the American people."

Savaya, an American businessman of Iraqi (Chaldean/Assyrian) descent from Michigan, has risen to prominence in recent years through his support for Trump's presidential campaign and his outreach to Middle Eastern communities in the United States.   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270511

The Iraq Stock Exchange Traded More Than 10 Billion Dinars Last Week

Economy |  18/11/2025   Mawazin News - Baghdad:  The Iraq Stock Exchange announced that trading volume last week exceeded 10 billion dinars, with significant activity encompassing the majority of listed companies.

In its weekly report, the exchange explained that "63 listed companies saw their shares traded during the week, while 28 companies' shares did not trade due to discrepancies between buy and sell orders. Trading remained suspended for 13 companies out of a total of 104 listed companies due to their failure to submit the required disclosures.

" The report  added that "the number of shares traded reached 22.234 billion, representing a 700% increase compared to the previous week, with a total value of 10.622 billion dinars, a 63% increase, across 3,358 transactions."

It also noted that "the ISX60 index closed at 960.15 points, marking a 1.65% increase from the previous close."

He confirmed that “the transactions of non-Iraqi investors witnessed the purchase of 31 million shares worth 66 million dinars through 13 deals, compared to the sale of 101 million shares worth 207 million dinars through the execution of 109 deals.”    https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270459 

Rapidly Widening Deficit And Dwindling Reserves… Warnings Paint The Most Dire Picture Of The Iraqi Economy In Years

Economy | 19/11/2025   Mawazin News – Special Report   : Economic expert Manar al-Ubaidi warned that the Iraqi economy is entering its most critical phase in years, amidst escalating political turmoil and the clamor of electoral alliances. He pointed out that current financial indicators reveal a worrying reality that requires urgent intervention and bold decisions.

Al-Ubaidi told Mawazin News, "According to the Ministry of Finance's data for August 2025, total revenues reached 82 trillion dinars, including 73 trillion dinars from oil sales, compared to only 9 trillion dinars from non-oil revenues. This reinforces the continued reliance of the budget on oil revenues by more than 90%."

In contrast, public spending reached 87.5 trillion dinars, including 73 trillion dinars in operational expenses, in addition to 5 trillion dinars paid as government advances, which are usually included in actual expenditures at the end of each year. This raises the real deficit to approximately 10 trillion dinars by the end of August.

According to Al-Ubaidi, estimates indicate that the deficit could exceed 15 trillion dinars by the end of the current year if spending continues at the same pace.

Regarding monetary policy, data from the Central Bank of Iraq reveals that the bank purchased only about $49 billion from the Ministry of Finance during the first nine months of the year, while selling more than $60 billion through the currency window. This forced the bank to use about $11 billion of its reserves to meet the increasing demand for dollars, a dangerous indicator reflecting deep imbalances in the market.

This financial drain coincides with oil prices remaining within the range of $60-65 per barrel, a level insufficient to cover inflated operational expenses. This means, according to Al-Ubaidi, that the current government, as well as the next one, may face real difficulty in fulfilling salary and subsidy obligations unless urgent measures are taken to increase [the budget/funds/etc.]. Revenues and spending rationalization.

The expert also points out that "the option of resorting to borrowing will not be readily available, especially after the internal debt exceeded 90 trillion dinars, and the local market's ability to absorb more debt instruments has declined, making the options available to the government narrower than ever before."

Al-Ubaidi believes that "real reform begins with a thorough review of public spending schedules down to the smallest expenditure items, focusing on the issues of financial waste, ghost salaries, pensions, and social welfare, which drain billions annually, with a significant portion going to those not entitled to them or being exploited for electoral purposes."

He also emphasizes the need to reassess the food ration card system, drug subsidies, and other support programs to ensure their efficiency and achievement of their objectives.

The economist summarizes that "Iraq stands today at a critical financial crossroads, coinciding with the possibility of a delay in approving next year's budget due to the formation of the new government, which could push the country towards an 'ambiguous' fiscal year without a clear spending ceiling," stressing that "the crisis is no longer just figures in official data, but a real danger threatening the state's ability to continue paying its salaries and obligations," warning that delaying reform will lead to Coercive measures that affect the poor citizen even more than the employee." https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270485

Economist: Concerns About A Possible Change In The Exchange Rate With The Formation Of The New Government

Economy | 19/11/2025   Mawazin News - Baghdad:   Economic researcher Diaa Abdul Karim believes there is anticipation and apprehension among the Iraqi public regarding a potential decision by the incoming government to change the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar.

Abdul Karim stated, "Previous governments have altered the exchange rate, and this has negatively impacted the Iraqi people, particularly individuals and their cost of living."

He added, "Changing the exchange rate to devalue the dinar means a general rise in prices, which is a source of concern for Iraqi citizens who have become accustomed to such decisions with the formation of new governments."

He emphasized the urgent need for assurances from those leading the political process, or the largest bloc, clarifying the nature of the government's program for the upcoming phase: whether it includes a change in the dinar's value against the dollar or maintaining the current status quo.   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270471

Gold Prices Are Rising... How Much?  

Economy |  19/11/2025   Mawazin News - Follow-up:   Gold prices rose on Wednesday as investors awaited the minutes from the Federal Reserve's latest monetary policy meeting and the US jobs report, which could shed further light on the path of interest rates.

Spot gold rose 0.2% to $4,074 per ounce at 04:49 GMT, while US gold futures for December delivery also climbed by the same percentage to $4,074.40 per ounce.

Tim Waterer, senior market analyst at KCM Trade, said, "Gold's momentum has been somewhat dampened by the stronger dollar and uncertainty surrounding the timing of the Fed's next interest rate cut."

He added, "However, a wave of risk aversion in the market has kept gold in the investor's safe-haven interest rate circle, limiting the decline."

The dollar index rose 0.1% against a basket of major currencies. A stronger dollar makes gold more expensive for holders of other currencies.

Global stock markets fell sharply this week, with the S&P 500 posting a four-day losing streak amid concerns about the valuations of artificial intelligence stocks.

Investors are now awaiting the minutes from the Federal Reserve's latest meeting, due later today, and the September non-farm payrolls report, due tomorrow, Thursday, after being delayed due to the U.S. government shutdown.

Economists polled by Reuters expect the report to show employers added 50,000 jobs during the month.

Data released Tuesday showed that the number of Americans receiving unemployment benefits hit a two-month high in mid-October.

The U.S. central bank has cut interest rates by 25 basis points, but Chairman Jerome Powell has expressed caution about any further rate cuts this year, citing several reasons, including a lack of data.

As for other precious metals, silver rose 0.4% to $50.90 an ounce in spot trading, platinum fell 0.2% to $1,533.82, and palladium gained 0.6% to $1,409.19.   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270475

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Investors Seek Shelter: Market Selloff Sends Gold and Treasuries Higher  

Investor sentiment sours as growth concerns mount.

Overview

• U.S. equities fell sharply, with major indexes under pressure from valuation worries and macro uncertainty.

• Treasury yields declined, signaling a rotation into safer assets.

• Gold rebounded, drawing support from risk-off flows and safe-haven demand.

Key Developments

• The S&P 500 and Dow saw significant drops, reflecting broad investor caution.

• Bond markets rallied as traders sought shelter from potential economic volatility.

• Gold’s renewed strength is more than tactical — it's gaining on structural reallocation.

Why It Matters

This market rotation suggests a deeper rebalancing of risk. With equity momentum faltering, capital is flowing into assets perceived as more resilient. That shift supports a narrative of systemic repositioning, where traditional risk assets are giving way to strategic hedges.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 4: Markets & Commodities — Capital is de-risking, rotating into hedges and physical proxies.

• Pillar 2: Security & Finance Symbiosis — Financial stability and geopolitical risk are converging, driving demand for safe-haven assets.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

BRICS Push to Remove the U.S. Dollar From Iron Ore Trade Intensifies

China leverages its import dominance to force a yuan-based pricing shift in global metals markets.

Overview

• China, the world’s largest iron ore importer, is pushing suppliers to settle trade in yuan, challenging the longstanding dollar-based system.

• Iron ore is China’s newest geopolitical pressure point, following similar tactics in rare earth minerals and agricultural commodities.

• Suppliers include BRICS partner Brazil and major exporter Australia, both facing growing pressure to accept yuan settlement.

• Negotiations are underway for a new contract using Chinese yuan as the sole settlement currency.

• Industry sources confirm a standoff, as buyers and sellers struggle to agree on pricing and currency terms.

Key Developments

• China imported $134 billion in iron ore last year, giving it extraordinary leverage against suppliers.

• Beijing’s strategy mirrors earlier moves, such as halting U.S. soybean purchases during tariff disputes.

• Fastmarkets sources say current talks are deadlocked due to disagreements on price benchmarks and yuan settlement.

• A successful yuan-denominated contract would be historic, potentially becoming a template for other commodity sectors.

• The shift aligns with BRICS efforts to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar across energy, metals, and agricultural supply chains.

Why It Matters

Iron ore is one of the world’s most traded industrial commodities. If China succeeds in replacing the dollar with the yuan in this sector, it would strike at the core of dollar-denominated global trade. This move aligns with BRICS’ long-term goal of reshaping the financial order and building a multi-currency settlement ecosystem that bypasses Western financial infrastructure.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: De-Dollarization

A yuan-based iron ore pricing mechanism accelerates BRICS’ broader attempt to weaken dollar dominance — a foundational shift in global trade architecture.

Pillar 2: Strategic Commodities Control

China’s control over metals markets enhances its leverage in industrial policy, supply chain dominance, and long-term geopolitical positioning.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

The National Bank Of Iraq Successfully Completes Its Transition To The New Global Standard, SWIFT MX.
 
November 19, 2025 Last updated: November 18, 2025  The Independent/-The National Bank of Iraq announced that it has successfully completed the transition to the new global standard SWIFT MX for financial messages, in a step that constituted a prominent milestone in the process of modernizing the bank’s technological infrastructure and enhancing its readiness for digital transformation. 

 The bank said in a statement, “The implementation of this transformation comes as part of the bank’s transition from the old MT standard to the MX ISO 20022 model, which is the most advanced, structured and data-rich framework in the global financial messaging sector.
 
The transformation process was carried out across all operational channels with high efficiency and minimal downtime, reflecting the bank’s strong technical readiness, accurate planning, and commitment to providing its services without any significant interruption.” 

He pointed out that “this transformation is an advanced step within the strategic roadmap of the National Bank of Iraq to   modernize its systems,    enhance its compatibility with global best practices, and    provide an advanced digital banking experience for its        individual and    corporate   clients.”

For his part,   the Chief Operating Officer and Deputy CEO of the National Bank of Iraq, Aqeel Ezzedine, explained that 
“the smooth transition to the MX standard    came as a result of a robust system of  governance,   teamwork and  careful planning, and represents an important step in  modernizing the payments infrastructure and  enhancing the   reliability and   security of  banking operations.”
 
Hani Khalil, head of the transformation department at the National Bank of Iraq, said that “achieving this transformation embodies the bank’s commitment to   keeping pace with the latest international standards in payment systems, and   building a more   transparent,   integrated and   high-quality   financial data structure,   which    enhances customer experience and   strengthens the bank’s position within the regional financial system.”
 
The MX standard enables a more accurate and richer exchange of information in financial messages, with substantial improvements in   transaction tracking and   identification of parties, supporting global trends towards   greater efficiency and   transparency      in payments.
 
Since the new system came into effect, the bank has not recorded any significant problems, which confirms the success of the implementation process and the close coordination between the transformation, IT and operations teams, in addition to effective cooperation with partners and regulatory authorities.     https://mustaqila.com/المصرف-الأهلي-العراقي-يستكمل-بنجاح-ال/ 

9 Billion Tons Of Silica In Anbar And Najaf... Opportunities For 10,000 Jobs And Billions Of Dollars In Revenue

Reports     The Iraqi economy is witnessing promising shifts towards diversifying national income sources away from over-reliance on oil. In this context, silica sand stands out as an untapped natural resource with immense potential to contribute to sustainable economic development.

The Eco-Iraq Observatory has revealed vast quantities of silica sand discovered in the Anbar and Najaf governorates, describing it as "white gold," while highlighting what it called government neglect of investment opportunities in this resource.

The observatory explained that initial explorations indicate approximately 600 million tons of discovered silica sand in Anbar, with reserves exceeding one billion tons and a purity of up to 98%. Meanwhile, Najaf governorate contains an estimated 330 million tons of sand suitable for glassmaking and about 577.5 million tons for colored glass production, totaling approximately 907.5 million tons with a purity of nearly 95%.

Reports from the Geological Survey indicate the presence of 220 million cubic meters of sand suitable for glassmaking in Najaf and 385 million cubic meters for colored glass production.

Meanwhile, Anbar province holds significant deposits in the Al-Gharra, Wadi Al-Amj, and Ardhama areas west of Rutba, estimated at over 330 million cubic meters, in addition to a new reserve estimated at one billion tons with a purity level of up to 99%, making this sand suitable for use in precision engineering industries.

The global price of silica ranges between $100 and $150 per ton, making investment in this material capable of contributing billions of dollars to the national budget, as well as creating more than 10,000 direct and indirect job opportunities in the two provinces.

Despite these substantial figures, the Observatory criticized the weakness of government procedures and its failure to activate these resources, calling for amendments to the Mineral Investment Law No. 91 of 1988 to allow for broader opportunities for exploration and development.

Silica sand is used in the manufacture of glass, silicon, building materials, electronics, solar cells, and filtration systems. Global consumption reached approximately 479 million tons in 2024, with a market value ranging from $14 billion to $72 billion, depending on the sand's quality and market price.

In a significant development within this sector, a cooperation agreement was signed on April 29th between the Iraqi General Company for Glass and Refractories and the Saudi company Ajial to establish the largest integrated industrial complex for silica projects in Anbar Governorate, spanning 800 dunams.

The project, still in its initial stages, will include silicon and flat glass production with a capacity of 700 tons per day, as well as factories for producing bottles and jars with an initial capacity of 200 tons, expandable to 800 tons.

 Additionally, a factory for producing medical bottles with a capacity of 120 tons per day will be established to support the Iraqi healthcare sector. The project also includes the construction of a special electrical complex to supply the factories, along with residential complexes for workers, which opens the door to extensive urban and economic development in the desert areas of Anbar.

The Director General of the General Company for Glass, Hamid Mohammed Koudi, explained that Anbar was chosen due to the abundance of high-purity silica and the expertise of Iraqi personnel.

He emphasized that the project will create between 5,000 and 10,000 job opportunities and will serve as a base for other downstream industries, including the production of glass sheets, silicon, sodium silicate, automotive glass, and solar panels. He added that the number of finished products is expected to reach approximately 12 upon completion of the complex.

Economic expert Mustafa Hantoush, for his part, affirmed that Anbar province occupies a strategic location in this sector and that Saudi investments reflect Iraq's growing attractiveness as an investment destination. He pointed out that creating a favorable investment environment by streamlining procedures, providing loans, and offering tax exemptions has become a necessity, not a luxury.

He also highlighted key challenges, most notably the weak industrial infrastructure, the need to control imports, and the importance of supporting local products.

The silica project in Iraq represents a historic opportunity to rebuild the national industry and enhance the diversification of the economy. It also demonstrates the country’s ability to move from exporting raw materials to manufacturing them locally, which opens up broad prospects for sustainable development, employing Iraqi human resources, and attracting quality investments, at a time when there is an urgent need for a new economic vision that keeps pace with global changes and invests in the sources of national strength. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62469

America Just Killed the Penny – What It Really Means for Your Money & Gold

America Just Killed the Penny – What It Really Means for Your Money & Gold | Michelle Makori

Miles Franklin Media:  11-18-2025

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, breaks down the end of the U.S. penny and explains why this small coin tells a very big story about the dollar, inflation, and America’s monetary direction.

After more than 232 years, the United States has officially minted its final one-cent coin.

 It now costs 3.69 cents to make a penny – nearly four times its face value.

Michelle explains how this is not just a budgeting issue, but a warning about the purchasing power of the dollar and the accelerating debasement of U.S. currency.

She takes you through the history of the penny’s dilution, how the death of the lowest denomination mirrors the decline of the currency beneath it, and why countries that have eliminated small coins do not face the same consequences as the world’s reserve currency issuer.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Wednesday Afternoon 11-19-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Gold Prices Rebound on U.S. Data & Central Bank Demand

Safe-haven demand surges as economic risk returns.

Overview

• Gold recovered modestly on Nov. 18, lifted by weak U.S. labor-market data and renewed rate-cut hopes.

• Deutsche Bank projects an average price of $4,000/oz in 2026, citing strong official-sector demand.

• Goldman Sachs reaffirmed its long-term bullish stance, targeting $4,900/oz by end-2026, with central banks buying aggressively.

Key Developments

• Central banks continue major allocations to gold, with Goldman estimating ~64 tonnes purchased in September.

• Softer U.S. data (e.g., unemployment claims) raised the probability of a December Fed rate cut, adding to gold’s appeal.

• U.S. equities declined while Treasuries and gold gained, a sign of risk-off repositioning.

Why It Matters

This is a resurgence of structural demand for gold, not just short-term hedging. Central banks’ accumulation reflects long-term reserve strategy. Combined with macro volatility, it signals growing systemic risk and a potential shift toward hard-asset reserve models.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 3: Metals & Strategic Resources — Gold is increasingly functioning like “money,” representing a move toward tangible reserves in a multipolar system.

• Pillar 5: Currency & Payment Systems — As central banks rotate into gold, it challenges fiat currency dominance and signals a possible transition to a more diversified reserve asset base.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Italy Moves to Assert State Control Over $300B Central Bank Gold

Rome debates reclaiming its gold reserves amid broader reserve-asset politics.

Overview

• Italian lawmakers revived efforts to claim the Bank of Italy’s ~2,452 ton gold reserves (worth around $300 billion) for the state.

• The proposal could redirect the gold’s value into public finances.

• Critics warn the move threatens central bank independence and could breach EU norms.

Key Developments

• The claim is being introduced via a budget amendment.

• There’s discussion of taxing undeclared private gold holdings to raise revenue.

• The debate intensifies over how national wealth should be managed — between sovereign control and central banking authority.

Why It Matters

If passed, this would be more than symbolic. It would represent a shift in how nations treat their reserve assets — using gold not just as a hedge, but as a lever for public finance. It underscores how gold’s strategic role is being re-politicized in a world that increasingly questions the primacy of the dollar.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 3: Metals & Strategic Resources — States are elevating gold from reserve asset to political instrument.

• Pillar 1: Finance & Investment Architecture — Reclaiming central bank gold could reshape the balance between sovereign wealth and independent central banking.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Ariel : Right Now the Iraqi Dinar is Basically Stuck

Ariel : Right Now the Iraqi Dinar is Basically Stuck

11-19-2025

Iraq Update:

These two moves – forcing every single bank in Iraq to finish their full ICAAP stress-tested capital plans and flipping the switch to ISO 20022 for all cross-border payments starting this Saturday (Nov 22) – aren’t just “nice-to-have” upgrades.

They’re the final two checkboxes the grown-ups in the room (IMF, U.S. Treasury, BIS, the big correspondent banks in New York and London) have been demanding before they let Iraq play in the real international forex sandbox.

I have told people many times. This is why you do not constantly see me doing daily updates because there needs to be key items in place. Even if they clean up all corruption. All militias. All Iranian proxies. All Z*****t influences. They still need these basic elements in place in order to fully integrate into the globalist markets.

Think of it like this:

Right now the Iraqi dinar is basically stuck in a kiddie pool with floaties on. You can only buy or sell it in big size through the CBI’s daily dollar auction or a handful of shady exchange houses.

 Nobody reputable touches it on the open forex market because the banks behind it look shaky on paper and the payment rails are still running 30-year-old SWIFT message formats that scream “money-laundering risk.”

Ariel): Iraqi Dinar Update

Iraqi Dinar Update: Moving The Needle : A Windfall For The Ages

Here’s what is legitimately exciting for anyone holding or thinking about holding dinar (without the fairy-tale RV nonsense)

The dinar’s about to go fully international in a way it never has. Post-Nov 22, Iraqi banks are on the exact same modern payment rails as London, New York, and Singapore.

No more clunky middlemen or that old dollar auction crutch. That means real-time, clean cross-border flows trade finance, remittances, oil payments all smoother and cheaper. Less friction = more actual usage of IQD outside Iraq over time.

Private banks are getting real muscle for the first time in decades. With Basel III locked in and state banks getting restructured, you’re gonna see actual lending booms to the private sector.

Iraq’s non-oil economy could finally wake up. More factories, construction, tech stuff that creates real demand for the dinar instead of everyone hoarding dollars.

The street already knows something’s shifting the black market premium is basically dead. That’s the quietest it’s been since Sadaam’s days.

When the premium vanishes completely (and it’s damn close), the CBI has zero reason to keep artificially propping the rate. A slow, steady appreciation (think 5-15% a year as the economy diversifies) becomes way more plausible.

Iraq’s sitting on sound money in reserves and oil. Once the new rails are live and the banks are solid, the dinar becomes a legit carry-trade play for pros borrow cheap elsewhere, park in high-yield Iraqi deposits, collect the spread.

That foreign money flowing in naturally pushes the rate stronger over months/years, not overnight.

Which means if the Iraqi dinar goes up next month you don’t have to trade in all your notes. Because it’s going to continue to increase well into 2026/2027 even if it was to go international tomorrow.
