Japan Is DUMPING U.S. Debt — A Global Market IMPLOSION Is Coming

Japan Is DUMPING U.S. Debt — A Global Market IMPLOSION Is Coming

Lena Petrova:  11-29-2025

Japan’s latest economic gamble is shaking the global financial system—and today we step back and unpack exactly what’s happening, why it matters, and how it could directly impact YOU.

Japan’s new multi-billion-dollar stimulus package has triggered market turmoil, sent the yen plunging, and raised serious questions about the future of U.S. borrowing.

With the yen hitting its weakest levels in nearly a year, Japan’s finance ministry is signaling possible intervention—but markets aren’t convinced.

Economists warn Japan’s aggressive spending could unintentionally destabilize the U.S. economy, especially as Japanese government bonds and the yen fall simultaneously, a rare and alarming signal of capital flight and market distrust.

For decades, Japan has been America’s biggest foreign lender, buying trillions in U.S. Treasurys and keeping American borrowing costs low. But that era is ending. With domestic Japanese bond yields soaring to 20- and 30-year highs, investors now have strong incentives to bring their money home.

 In just one quarter, they dumped $62 billion in U.S. Treasurys—an exit that analysts warn could push U.S. yields even higher.

 This shift affects YOU: mortgage rates near 7%, record credit-card APRs, rising car-loan costs, and a U.S. government suddenly facing higher borrowing rates after 40 years of cheap money fueled by Japan. As Japan battles aging demographics, 235% debt-to-GDP, weak currency, and rising geopolitical tensions with China, the country no longer has the capacity to subsidize America’s spending.

Even more dangerous: an unstable yen threatens the global “carry trade,” which supports everything from U.S. stocks to emerging markets. A carry-trade unwind could trigger rapid market volatility—something analysts at BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, and Société Générale say is now a real possibility.

This is a financial turning point. The era of easy money is over. The world is shifting. And understanding this transition is essential for protecting yourself and your finances.

Venezuela Pushes Back as U.S. Airspace Dispute Escalates

Caracas condemns Washington’s move as tensions rise over military operations, sovereignty, and regional security.

Overview

• Venezuela condemned the United States after President Donald Trump declared Venezuelan airspace “closed” in a public statement.

• Caracas called the move an illegal and unilateral act, asserting that Washington has no authority to close another nation’s skies.

• The dispute comes amid U.S. military operations targeting alleged narcotrafficking vessels, intensifying geopolitical frictions in the Caribbean.

Key Developments

• Venezuela’s Foreign Minister denounced Trump’s statement as a “colonialist threat” and an unjustified act of aggression.

• The U.S. FAA had previously issued a “hazardous situation” warning for airlines flying over Venezuela, prompting several carriers to suspend operations.

• In response, Venezuela revoked operating rights for airlines that failed to resume service within two days, escalating commercial aviation tensions.

• The International Air Transport Association urged Venezuela to reconsider, warning of long-term connectivity disruptions.

• U.S. military presence off Venezuela’s coast has significantly increased, with the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier group deployed to the region.

• Washington continues a months-long strike campaign against alleged drug-trafficking vessels, resulting in more than 80 fatalities across the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.

• Venezuelan leaders insist they will defend national sovereignty, conducting military drills and warning they are prepared to respond to any U.S. attack.

• Trump has not ruled out sending U.S. troops into Venezuela, adding uncertainty to an already volatile regional environment.

Why It Matters
This confrontation exposes deepening geopolitical fractures in the Western Hemisphere. Aviation restrictions, military escalation, and competing claims of sovereignty risk destabilizing a region already strained by sanctions, contested elections, and transnational crime. The U.S.–Venezuela dispute now intersects with broader questions of international law and legitimacy, with both sides accusing the other of unlawful actions.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Geopolitics & Diplomacy: The standoff reinforces a world shifting toward multipolar tension, where sovereignty disputes and military pressure are increasingly used as tools of geopolitical influence.

• Pillar — Systemic Risk: Airspace restrictions, sanctions, and military deployments inject uncertainty into global trade, transport corridors, and regional stability — strengthening the trend toward alternative alliances and parallel economic systems.

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

BRICS Currency Pivot Ends the Era of “Stuck Rupees”

Russia and India unlock smooth national-currency trade flows, reshaping sanctions-era payment structures.

Overview

• Russia and India have quietly resolved the long-criticized issue of “stuck rupees,” allowing trade settlements in national currencies to flow without delays.

• Sberbank India has implemented automation and AI-driven systems that now process Russia–India payments in minutes rather than days.

• Bilateral trade—much of it conducted in rubles and rupees—has accelerated to record levels as both countries move decisively away from dollar-denominated transactions.

Key Developments

• Russian and Indian officials confirm that national-currency settlements now dominate bilateral trade, replacing previous reliance on U.S. dollars and euros.

• Sberbank India reports that rupee conversion—once the bottleneck that created billions in “stuck” funds—now functions smoothly with no restrictions on the amount converted.

• Up to 70% of Russian exports to India are being settled through Sberbank’s Indian branch, which has restored full banking services for cross-border clients at significantly faster speeds.

• Automated processing and AI-assisted systems allow Russia–India payments to be posted within minutes, marking a major breakthrough compared to the multi-day waits common in 2022–2023.

• The resolution comes as Russia–India trade nearly doubled year-over-year, driven heavily by India’s increased purchases of discounted Russian oil.

Why It Matters
The disappearance of the “stuck rupees” problem is more than a banking fix—it represents a structural transition toward a new financial architecture among BRICS nations. With Russia and India now executing seamless, sanctions-resilient settlements in local currencies, both countries have reduced exposure to Western banking systems and unlocked a more autonomous trade environment.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — De-Dollarization Acceleration: By settling most bilateral trade in rupees and rubles, Russia and India deepen the global movement toward non-dollar financial systems.

• Pillar — Parallel Payment Infrastructure: The success of Sberbank’s automated cross-currency systems gives BRICS nations a working template for broader national-currency integration outside Western channels.

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

What Happens to XRP if it Becomes the Backbone of the Global Monetary System?

What Happens to XRP if it Becomes the Backbone of the Global Monetary System?

November 29, 2025

The world of digital assets is no stranger to ambitious predictions, but a recent X post from @KuwlShow has set the internet alight with a particularly audacious thought experiment: could Ripple, the company behind XRP and the XRP Ledger (XRPL), one day command a valuation north of $7 trillion?

Rob Cunningham | KUWL.show:

A Ripple $7 Trillion Valuation

 Q: At Ripple’s most recent post money valuation, what might new valuation estimates rise to if the pending Clarity Act resulted in Ripple retaining 17 Billion XRP at a value of $250, the XRPL blockchain and XRP bridge token gaining global clarity from the U.S. Government as our new monetary system infrastructure and XRP paired with RLUSD represents the new U.S. digital dollar the world over?

A. If all of this actually happens – Clarity Act, full U.S. Treasury blessing, XRPL as core global rails, RLUSD/XRP as the de-facto US Digital Dollar pair – then Ripple’s valuation doesn’t just “go up a lot.”

On paper it jumps into multi-trillion-dollar territory just from its XRP stack alone, before even pricing in the payments/stablecoin business. Let’s walk it out cleanly and keep it grounded.

1. Today’s anchor: Ripple’s latest valuation Ripple’s most recent strategic round (Fortress, Citadel, Pantera, Galaxy, Brevan, Marshall Wace, etc.) priced the company at about $40 billion post-money. That $40B reflects:

 • Payments (Ripple Payments) • RLUSD stablecoin & treasury/prime brokerage (Ripple Prime, custody)

• XRP Ledger exposure and associated software

• Current regulatory clarity as of now (GENIUS Act, etc.), but not “world’s base-layer monetary system” status.

So: baseline = $40B. 2. This scenario inputs outlined above: We’re framing a world where:

1. Clarity Act + Treasury blessing

• XRP + XRPL get explicit, durable U.S. Treasury / global regulatory clarity as a core infrastructure layer for the “new monetary system.”

 2. XRP at $250 • Today XRP is ~$2.2 with ~60.25B tokens in circulation, implying a ~$120–130B market cap.

• Hypothetically: XRP reprices to $250.

3. Ripple beneficially owns 17B XRP

• We’ll accept this as the post-Clarity, post-escrow, post-SPV reality.

 4. RLUSD + XRP become the default “digital U.S. dollar rails” globally • RLUSD is already ~$1B market cap with ~$95B+ in payments volume and growing.

• Scenario above ramps XRP to a global settlement role vs. niche crypto. Let’s keep all the math mechanical and then talk about how markets might actually price it.

 3. Mechanical mark-to-market: Ripple’s XRP pile at $250 3.

1. Value of Ripple’s 17B XRP • Price per XRP (scenario): $250

• Beneficial holdings: 17,000,000,000 XRP 17 Billion XRP x $250 = $4.25 Trillion So, $4.25 trillion of value just from that XRP position.

For context:

 • That’s 6.6x Visa’s current market cap ($640B).

• 8.6x Mastercard’s ($494B). • World GDP is ≈$117T; $4.25T is ~3.6% of world GDP.

 So in this scenario:

• Total XRP market value ≈ $15T • Ripple’s 17B stack ≈ 28% of circulating XRP (17 / 60.25 ≈ 0.282).

 • Ripple’s XRP holdings alone = $4.25T, before any business multiple. Already, that dwarfs ANY existing private company.

 How public markets might price Ripple equity under this scenario?

We can think of the equity valuation as: Ripple Value ≈ (Value of XRP Treasury ± Discount) + (Value of Payments / Stablecoin / Infra Franchise)

Let’s run three illustrative bands, not predictions. 4.1. “Conservative but still insane” band (Markets deeply discount concentrated XRP risk)

 Assume:

• Markets apply a 60–80% discount to that $4.25T XRP stack because:

• Huge concentration in one asset

• Political risk – if it becomes monetary infra, governments want a say

• Possible capital controls, windfall taxes, or forced restructurings

 • So equity gets credit for only 20–40% of the XRP mark-to-market: 0.20 times 4.25T = 0.85T 0.40 times 4.25T = 1.70T Now, let’s layer on the infra franchise:

 • If XRPL+RLUSD run a systemically important share of global settlement, card-net/FX-network style comps (Visa, Mastercard, SWIFT-equivalent) easily justify $0.5–1T+ by themselves, based on today’s ~$640B and ~$494B for Visa/Mastercard.

Resulting “conservative” band: ~$1.3T – $2.7T Ripple equity value That’s roughly 30–70× today’s $40B. 2/2 cont’d below

This isn’t just “hopium” – it’s a meticulously laid out scenario that, while highly speculative, forces us to consider the monumental shifts required for blockchain technology to truly become the backbone of a new global financial system.

The numbers are staggering, moving far beyond typical crypto discussions and into the territory of systemic global finance. We are talking about potential valuations that rival the GDP of entire nations.

Here’s a deep dive into the extraordinary thought experiment that posits Ripple, the company behind XRP and the XRPL, could achieve a valuation north of $7 Trillion.

From Fintech Challenger to Monetary Super-Utility

To understand the core argument, we must first anchor ourselves in the present. Ripple, following its most recent strategic funding rounds involving giants like Fortress, Citadel, and Pantera, sits at a current post-money valuation of roughly $40 billion. This valuation reflects its growing payments network, its custody business, and the nascent success of its stablecoin, RLUSD.

The $7 Trillion scenario, however, requires a leap of faith based on four massive, interlinked assumptions outlined in the X post:

The Four Pillars of the Super-Giant Scenario

The Clarity Act & Treasury Blessing: XRP and the XRPL must receive explicit, durable regulatory clarity from the U.S. Treasury, cementing their status as a core infrastructure layer for the “new monetary system.”

XRP at $250: The price of XRP must reprice from its current levels (around $2.20 at the time of the scenario’s construction) to $250, reflecting its new role as a global settlement asset rather than a niche crypto token.

Ripple Retains a Vast Stack: Ripple maintains control over 17 Billion XRP post-escrow and restructuring.

RLUSD/XRP as Default Global Rails: The combination of RLUSD (Ripple’s stablecoin) and XRP becomes the de-facto backbone for the global digital U.S. dollar and a major FX settlement layer.

If these four monumental shifts occur, the resulting valuation landscape is completely unrecognizable.

The Mechanical Math: $4.25 Trillion from XRP Alone

The initial, non-negotiable step in the analysis is calculating the mark-to-market value of Ripple’s alleged XRP holdings under this scenario.

The calculation is straightforward:

17 Billion XRP (Ripple’s holdings) x $250 (Hypothetical Price) = $4.25 Trillion

This single number—$4.25 Trillion—immediately changes the conversation.

To put $4.25 Trillion into perspective, as the post noted:

It is 6.6 times Visa’s current market capitalization (~$640 billion).

It is 8.6 times Mastercard’s market cap (~$494 billion).

It represents approximately 3.6% of the world’s current GDP.

This calculation shows that if XRP reaches $250, Ripple’s ownership stake alone becomes the most valuable asset held by any single private company in history, eclipsing the value of even today’s tech giants.

Pricing the Equity: Discounting the God-Mode Asset

However, a company’s equity valuation is not just the sum of its raw assets. Markets must price in the practical business operations (payments, stablecoins, brokerage) and, crucially, the extraordinary risks associated with holding a position of systemic monetary power.

The X post explored three potential valuation bands, based primarily on the discount the market would apply to that $4.25 Trillion XRP stack.

1. The Conservative (But Still Insane) Band: $1.3T – $2.7T

In this scenario, markets apply a severe discount (60–80%) to the XRP holdings due to concentration risk, political pressure, and potential government intervention (windfall taxes, enforced public utility status).

If the market credits Ripple with only 20–40% of the $4.25T stack ($0.85T to $1.7T), and

Adds the value of the infrastructure business (RLUSD, payments rails) at a combined Visa/Mastercard level ($0.5T to $1.0T)…

…Ripple’s valuation still comfortably lands between $1.3 Trillion and $2.7 Trillion—a 30x to 70x increase from today.

2. The Infrastructure Super-Giant Band: $3.1T – $4.5T

If the market believes the regulatory clarity is rock-solid and the XRPL truly dominates global payment and USD rails, the discount is less severe (50–70% of the XRP stack credited). Layering on a $1T–$1.5T value for the payments/stablecoin business brings the valuation into the $3.1 Trillion to $4.5 Trillion range.

At this level, Ripple is no longer a fintech company; it is officially a global monetary super-utility.

3. The Extreme Monetary Plumbing Band: $7T+

If the XRPL/RLUSD stack is treated as the singular backbone for international settlement (the new SWIFT + Fedwire + Visa combined), and the market applies minimal discount to the XRP stack (80–100%), the valuation climbs to the high end: $7 Trillion or more.

Crucially, the post points out that at this extreme level, the regulatory environment would likely force structural change. It becomes impossible for a single, private cap table to hold so much systemic power without triggering serious antitrust concerns, national security reviews, or demands for multi-sovereign governance.

The Indispensable Reality Checks

The power of this thought experiment lies in its meticulous math, but its responsibility lies in its reality checks. The author of the X post was careful to anchor the discussion in three critical points:

The $250 Price Tag is a Paradigm Shift: Hitting $250 requires not just hype, but a fundamental, system-wide shift in global monetary architecture where XRP is utilized by central banks and institutional players worldwide.

Sovereign Control is Inevitable: If the XRPL becomes critical global plumbing, sovereigns and international bodies will insist on checks, oversight, and shared control. Private companies simply cannot be allowed to have “god-mode” over global money flows.

Transparency and Prudence are Mandatory: Any new monetary system that achieves this scale must enforce transparency, remove hidden leverage, and prevent the same kind of capture that plagued the legacy financial system. If those conditions aren’t met, the valuation is unstable.

Conclusion: Expanding the Vision

The $7 Trillion valuation scenario is not a prediction; it is a powerful discernment exercise. It forces us to confront the true scale of what Ripple and the XRPL community aim to build—a financial architecture that is systemically important at a global level.

Whether XRP hits $250 or Ripple ever achieves a multi-trillion-dollar cap depends less on technology and more on global politics, regulatory frameworks, and governance structures.

What this analysis makes perfectly clear is that the crypto company that successfully transitions into the global settlement layer will generate wealth and systemic power on an unprecedented scale, transforming itself from a venture-backed startup into one of the most critical institutions on the planet.

Rob Cunningham: XRP and the Clarity Act, What this means for America

Rob Cunningham: XRP and the Clarity Act, What this means for America

11-29-2025

Rob Cunningham | KUWL.show   @KuwlShow

Ripple – XRP – America – Clarity Act

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR AMERICA

America has been stuck with an old, slow, confusing money system for decades—one that loses people’s hard-earned dollars, hides fees, lets middlemen skim off the top, and keeps the average person in the dark.

But what’s happening now changes everything:

1. Money will finally move the way life moves – fast.

No more waiting days for paychecks to clear, transfers to settle, or banks to “process” something simple.
Money will move instantly, 24/7, with no hidden nonsense.

2. Fees drop. Transparency rises. No more backroom games.

The current system hides fees, delays payments, and makes mistakes that nobody can trace.
This new system works like a public calculator where errors can’t hide.
You’ll see exactly where your money goes.

3. New American jobs, new industries, new small-business growth.

Any time a new “highway” gets built—whether it’s roads, electricity, or the internet – millions of new jobs come with it.
This new financial “highway” is no different.
America will build it, run it, and benefit from it.

4. A stronger dollar that people all over the world trust again.

Instead of printing money into worthlessness, America uses real value, real transparency, and real accountability to support the dollar.

A strong dollar means:

higher purchasing power

lower inflation

more respect on the world stage

5. Less power for hidden middlemen. More power for Americans.

For years, the financial system rewarded insiders and punished regular people.
This shift puts the power back where it belongs—in the hands of the public, not the bureaucrats, not the big banks, not the middlemen.

6. America becomes the world’s financial “light tower” again.

Instead of reacting to world events, America leads.
Other nations turn to us—not because we force them, but because our system is fair, fast, and trustworthy.

7. Our money becomes safer, clearer, and more honest.

No tricks.
No gimmicks.
No fine print.
Just honest accounting and immediate settlements.

In Plain English:

This is America fixing what was broken – with honesty, accountability, technology, and common sense.

It means:

Better jobs

Better money

Better opportunities

A better future for families, workers, veterans, retirees, and small business owners

It means we stop repeating old mistakes…and start building a system worthy of the people who live in this country.

This isn’t about crypto.
This isn’t about politics.
This is about America upgrading its financial engine so everyone can finally run on equal ground.

If our U.S. Treasury and Ripple both held 17% of XRP at $250, shareholders of both entities would have an asset valued at $4.2 Trillion.

Starting from Ripple’s most recent $40B post-money valuation, if XRP truly ran to $250 and Ripple still held 17B XRP under a Treasury-blessed XRPL/RLUSD/XRP global monetary regime, reasonable mechanical valuation frameworks spit out multi-trillion-dollar Ripple equity numbers – roughly $1 to $7T+, with the low end already bigger than Visa and Mastercard combined, and the high end bumping into “this changes our world forever” territory.

The Art of The Deal Cometh.

Tishwash:  Industry and Minerals: Iraq's silica reserves exceed 350 million tons

The Ministry of Industry and Minerals announced that the proven reserves of silica in Iraq amount to more than three hundred and fifty million tons.

Ministry spokeswoman Duha al-Jubouri said that silica is a vital raw material used in many important industries.

She explained that the most prominent strategic industrial sectors in which silica is used are glass industries, solar cells, and thermal industries.

In addition to insulators and electronics, noting that the ministry is currently working on utilizing them mainly in the glass and refractories industries.  link

Tishwash:  Savaya: Big changes are coming to Iraq

US President Donald Trump’s envoy, Mark Savaya, announced on Sunday that he will arrive in Iraq within the next two weeks, confirming that he carries “a special message from President Trump to the leadership in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.”

“Big changes are coming in Iraq, and from now on everyone will see actions instead of words,” Savaya said in a press statement, indicating Washington’s seriousness in taking concrete steps toward the outstanding issues.

Earlier today, Savaya confirmed via the “X” platform that the world views Iraq “as a country capable of playing a larger and more influential role in the region, provided that the issue of weapons outside the framework of the state is completely resolved, and the prestige of official institutions is preserved.”  link

Tishwash:  International experts: Iraq represents a promising destination for business and investment.

John Wilkes, the former British ambassador to Baghdad and a member of the advisory board of the Iraqi-British Business Council, praised the flourishing infrastructure in Iraq, predicting that the new government would continue its approach of supporting investment and developing the economy.

This came during a seminar organized by the Iraqi British Business Council (IBBC) and the British Chamber of Commerce in Turkey (BCCT) entitled “Doing Business in Iraq”, which reviewed investment opportunities and mechanisms for entering the Iraqi market.

The participants affirmed that Iraq represents a promising destination for business, noting that international cooperation contributes to promoting sustainable economic development.

For his part, Robin Steelick of the Pilgrims organization discussed the security situation in Iraq, stressing the importance of local knowledge to avoid any limited disturbances, noting that the overall economic situation is stable and calm.

Jamil Shukair, CEO of SC Middle East, also presented an overview of the overall financial situation, emphasizing that the fundamentals of the Iraqi economy are developing positively, with a growing population and demand for services, along with increased oil production and large-scale construction projects driving economic growth.  link

Tishwash:  An economic lesson for the next prime minister

Dr. Bilal Al-Khalifa

After the Great Depression of 1932, which hit the world and America, US President Roosevelt, succeeding Herbert Hooper, issued a decision two days after taking office to declare a bank holiday and close all banks. This was on March 6, 1933.

Then he issued Executive Order No. 6102 on April 5, 1933, which is the most exceptional of executive orders, written in dry language and included.

I, Frank Delano Roosevelt... pronouncing the existence of patriotism... prohibit persons and principal partnerships within the United States... from hoarding gold water, gold bullion, and gold-backed securities... and I require consequently that all persons surrender on the first of May 1933 or earlier to any Federal Reserve Bank... or to any Reserve Reserve Member all gold coins, bullion, and legal tender securities in gold... and whoever willfully violates this Executive Order... shall be fined not more than ten thousand dollars... or imprisoned for a term not exceeding ten years.

In summary, the people must endure and accept the difficulty of the decision and hand over the gold to the government, otherwise they will be punished. For your information, this decision is political suicide for the following reasons.

1- Because it included a threat of imprisonment and a fine for those who violate it

2- Because the price of gold rose after this, it was a loss for people.

Finally

3- The citizen will refrain from electing him and his party for the next term.

America has succeeded in overcoming the crisis, therefore we need a prime minister in the next government who does not think about how to win votes in the upcoming elections, but rather focuses on the economic recovery of Iraq. Economic improvement means social, political, and security improvement.  link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Ripple, XRP and the Global Financial Reset — "Trump's XRP Plan" — What We Can Confirm

Examining public evidence — not speculative transcripts…

Overview

• In recent months, Banque de France has publicly confirmed it is testing a private version of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) as part of its wholesale-CBDC (central bank digital currency) experimentation program. 

• The European Central Bank (ECB) reportedly included XRPL — via a private ledger adaptation — in a 2025 “wholesale-DLT sandbox” used to trial tokenized bond settlements.

• Meanwhile, Ripple (the company behind XRPL and its native asset XRP) has applied for a federal banking charter in the United States, signaling its ambition to operate as a regulated financial intermediary. 

• On the regulatory front in Asia, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has formalized a framework for single-currency stablecoins — reflecting the kinds of regulatory environments that could support Ripple-style stablecoins and digital settlement systems. 

Key Developments

• Institutional adoption of blockchain infrastructure: The Banque de France’s decision to test XRPL for a potential digital Euro signals increasing comfort among major central banks to leverage ready-made distributed ledger technology instead of building from scratch. This lends XRPL legitimacy beyond speculative crypto. 

• Wholesale-DLT sandbox experiments in Europe: The ECB’s inclusion of XRPL (via a private ledger implementation by fintech firms) in its tokenized-bond settlement trials shows that regulators are actively exploring XRPL’s architecture for critical financial-market infrastructure. 

• Ripple’s regulatory ambitions in the U.S.: By applying for a federal banking license, Ripple is positioning itself to serve as a regulated institution — which could facilitate its ability to integrate into traditional banking and payment rails. 

• Asia as a regulatory testbed: Singapore’s recent stablecoin/stable-value token regulation under MAS underscores growing institutional acceptance of regulated digital-asset frameworks — a favorable environment for firms like Ripple aiming for cross-border, compliant liquidity services. 

Why It Matters
These developments show that use of XRPL (or XRPL-based private ledgers) is not purely speculative anymore. Major central banks and regulators are actively testing and evaluating distributed ledger technology as infrastructure for next-generation payment and settlement systems. That suggests a future in which digital asset platforms — especially those with ready infrastructure and regulatory ambitions — could form the backbone of global cross-border finance.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Institutional Infrastructure Transition — As central banks shift toward tokenization and DLT-based wholesale settlement rails, blockchains like XRPL may become part of the “plumbing” of global finance, not just niche crypto infrastructure.

• Pillar: Regulatory Convergence & Compliance Integration — Firms like Ripple obtaining banking licenses and working with regulators may ease the integration of blockchain-based liquidity systems into traditional finance — accelerating a broader institutional shift.

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

Global Finance Is Quietly Rewiring Itself — The Structural Reset Arrives

Diverging markets, shifting reserves, and new payment pathways signal a deep macro realignment.

Overview

• Global financial conditions are splitting into two trajectories — strong equity markets driven by rate-cut expectations, and weakening commodities that signal deeper structural cooling.

• Precious metals are strengthening as institutions reposition portfolios toward safe-haven assets amid ongoing currency volatility.

• Central banks and sovereign funds continue hedging away from traditional dollar-centric models, deepening a long-term realignment.

Key Developments

• Equity markets closed November with renewed strength, supported by increasing expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut.

• Global commodities are projected to fall roughly 7% in 2026, highlighting broad demand slowing and a shift toward stable-value reserves.

• At the same time, gold and silver are forecast to rise approximately 5% next year, reinforcing their strategic importance as protective reserves.

• Macro uncertainty and divergent policy paths among major central banks are creating long-term pressure on the dollar’s dominance in global trade and reserves.

• Ongoing geopolitical tensions and sanctions regimes continue to accelerate the development of parallel financial pathways across BRICS-aligned and non-Western economies.

Why It Matters
The global system is undergoing a slow but unmistakable rebalancing. Financial markets show strong short-term performance, yet the underlying macro signals — softening commodities, rising metals, currency volatility, and reserve diversification — indicate a transition toward a new architecture. Nations and institutions are actively repositioning away from single-system dependence into multi-polar financial frameworks.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Financial Rebalancing: The divergence between equities and commodities marks the early stages of a systemic reset, shifting economic modeling toward alternative assets and reserve structures.

• Pillar — Parallel Infrastructure: Central banks increasingly engage in diversified reserve strategies that reduce reliance on any one global currency, signaling a long-term structural realignment.

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

Geopolitics on a Knife-Edge as Peace Hopes and Conflict Risks Collide

New diplomacy efforts stir markets — but systemic risk remains high as war and uncertainty linger

Overview

• Diplomatic momentum rises: A new U.S.-backed peace proposal for the war between Russia and Ukraine — recently revised down from 28 to 19 points — has sparked fresh optimism among investors and geopolitical watchers.

• Markets respond with rallies in war-linked assets: Russian equities and frozen-asset funds, as well as Ukrainian bonds, jumped sharply as the peace plan gained traction, reflecting short-term investor confidence.

• Energy and commodity prices remain volatile as crude oil markets adjust to the dual dynamics of potential supply restoration and geopolitical uncertainty.

• Underlying instability persists: Russian military strikes continue, civilian infrastructure remains at risk, and European powers express growing concern over continued Russian aggression — underscoring that any peace deal remains fragile.

Key Developments

• Russia’s leadership signals tentative openness to talks, with officials indicating willingness to consider the revised peace framework — though considerable caveats remain.

• Frozen-asset funds and Russian-linked equities surged, with some up nearly 50% — reflecting speculative bets that sanctions could be scaled back if a deal proceeds.

• Oil prices oscillated, as markets weighed the possibility of restored Russian energy flows against the probability of renewed conflict and sanctions.

• European and NATO-aligned states voiced increasing alarm, warning that even with diplomacy, Russia’s ongoing territorial ambitions and hybrid warfare capabilities pose systemic risks to continental security and global economic stability.

Why It Matters
This moment captures the dual nature of the current geopolitical landscape: on one hand, diplomacy and peace negotiations are creating hope and fueling financial rallies; on the other, the war’s underlying dynamics and Moscow’s track record maintain a high baseline of risk. Markets and policymakers alike are being forced to price in both potential stabilization and dangerous reversals — a classic characteristic of a systemic-risk regime.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Strategic Realignment of Risk & Asset Flows: As peace hopes rise, capital moves swiftly to reprice Russia-linked assets, frozen funds, and emerging-market debt — illustrating how geopolitical shifts instantly reshape global financial flows.

• Pillar — Geopolitical Fragility & Systemic Uncertainty: Even as diplomacy advances, ongoing conflict risks and energy-market volatility reinforce that global governance, supply-chain stability, and macroeconomic order remain under threat, accelerating the push for diversified, secure asset and trade frameworks.

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

BRICS Opens New Lifeline for South African Farmers as China Unlocks $23.3 Million Market
A strategic agricultural pivot reshapes trade as South Africa turns from Washington to Beijing

Overview

• China opens a multi-fruit market for South Africa, granting access for stone fruits including prunes, plums, peaches, apricots, and cherries.

• The deal is valued at roughly 400 million rand (~$23.3 million), offering immediate relief to farmers squeezed by U.S. tariffs and trade barriers.

• South Africa’s Agriculture Ministry confirms this is China’s first multi-fruit approval for a single BRICS nation, signaling a strengthening bloc alignment.

• Farmers welcome the move as a stabilization measure amid declining predictability in U.S. trade policy.

Key Developments

• South Africa formally signs a new agricultural protocol with China, shifting export priorities away from traditional Western markets.

• China accelerates agricultural cooperation across BRICS, using its demand-driven import strategy to support member nations affected by U.S. protectionism.

• South African fruit exporters are preparing shipments, anticipating increased volumes of stone fruits headed for Chinese consumers.

• Additional fruit categories, such as cherries and berries, may soon be added under future cooperation agreements.

Why It Matters
This agreement represents more than a boost for farmers — it illustrates a widening realignment in global trade structures. As U.S. protectionism expands, BRICS nations are increasingly creating internal economic lifelines. China’s willingness to open new markets provides both economic relief and geopolitical leverage, pulling member countries closer into a shared trade framework.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Emerging-Market Trade Realignment: Redirecting agricultural exports toward BRICS partners reduces dependency on Western buyers and supports a multipolar trade system.

• Pillar — Strategic Supply-Chain Diversification: By securing stable demand from China, South Africa strengthens its agricultural resilience and reinforces BRICS internal market integration.

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

Saleh To Al-Furat News: Electronic Wallets And Mobile Banks Are The Path To Financial Inclusion For Vulnerable Groups

Time: 2025/11/29 Readings: 75 times  {Economic: Al-Furat News} The economic advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, revealed that electronic wallets and mobile banks represent a key mechanism to enhance financial inclusion for vulnerable groups in Iraq, to ​​enable women, youth and rural residents to access banking services, reduce reliance on cash, and expand financing opportunities for small and medium enterprises.

Saleh told Al-Furat News that “financial inclusion indicators in Iraq have recently risen to more than 40%, compared to previous low levels, after suffering greatly from the high percentage of the population not covered by banking, especially in remote areas that suffer from weak banking and communication infrastructure, in addition to weak financial awareness, widespread reliance on cash, and limited funding for small and micro enterprises.”

He explained that “financial literacy, human capacity building, national awareness campaigns on saving, banking services, and protection from financial fraud represent one of the pillars of financial inclusion, along with introducing financial literacy skills into school curricula and vocational education,” considering financial inclusion “one of the pillars of economic and social stability.”

Saleh pointed out that “weak access to organized financial services deepens the disparities between urban and rural groups,” stressing that “the policy required to promote financial inclusion will provide innovative options for remote areas and vulnerable and poor groups through mobile banking and the provision of direct services, in addition to developing strategic partnerships between banks and telecommunications companies to deploy mobile payment services and enhance digital transfer networks to facilitate access to financial transfers for all residents.”

According to the economic advisor, "The expected effects of these policies will contribute to integrating hundreds of thousands of citizens into the formal banking system, improving project financing opportunities, and creating new jobs by expanding affordable lending and microfinance initiatives and establishing digital platforms to connect entrepreneurs with banks and financing providers, while reducing the economy's reliance on cash and increasing transaction efficiency."

He stressed that “the Central Bank of Iraq is working on implementing a digital financial inclusion strategy in a coordinated and phased manner, focusing on digital financial transformation through electronic wallets, mobile payments, and the adoption of digital and biometric identity to open bank accounts remotely and reduce operational costs for citizens,” considering the bank account “a fundamental pillar in financial inclusion.”

Saleh concluded by saying that “enhancing financial inclusion requires an integrated vision that combines digitalization, financial regulation, capacity building and expanding financing for small projects,” noting that “implementing these policies will create a more inclusive and sustainable economy and enhance the resilience of families and projects in remote areas and their active participation in sustainable development, in line with the 2024-2028 development plan and Iraq’s 2050 vision.”  LINK

Tishwash:  The exchange rate dilemma: Government alternatives between deficit financing and economic stability

By Dr. Ahmed Hadhhal, Professor of Financial Economics

In light of the financial indicators for the 2026 budget, it appears that the exchange rate will be the focus of economic decision-making and the last line of defense against the widening deficit gap, which is expected to reach 70–90 trillion dinars.

 With the slowdown in non-oil revenues, the rise in current expenditures, and the decline in the ability to borrow domestically, fiscal policy enters a critical area that leaves the government with limited and difficult options.

The first logical solution is to rationalize spending and reduce non-salary operating expenses, and to control non-oil revenues through a strict automation and collection system, as well as reforming the state's financial management and reducing the spread of administrative and financial corruption.

This can significantly reduce the deficit. Reducing privileges and imposing mandatory savings on senior officials can add a large amount to public finances, in addition to this measure being a gesture of goodwill to society so that it accepts the high costs of reform.

Selling or investing part of the state's assets may provide between 10-15 trillion dinars, an amount that covers only a limited part of the gap. Even when these measures are applied together, the deficit remains high and cannot be fully financed through domestic borrowing without risking a large jump in domestic debt. Therefore, reform must be real through a structural "surgical operation" on spending and revenue items.

The exchange rate appears to be a short-term option, as the government recognizes that the resources generated by raising the exchange rate are the fastest and most effective way to bridge the financing gap.

 Trends and potential scenarios indicate that raising the rate from 1300 to 1500-2000 dinars would provide between 15 and 70 trillion dinars, depending on the level of the increase and the volume of dollar sales.

 This makes adjusting the exchange rate a readily available financial tool that the state resorts to when traditional methods fail to close the gap.

I believe this policy represents a price the economy pays for maintaining the current monetary policy throughout the period of pegging.

Therefore, the government might consider integrating financing tools instead of relying on a single option:

1- A genuine reduction in operating expenses by 15-20%.
2- Reform of the spending system and financial oversight to ensure that artificial inflation in expenditures is not repeated.
3- Selling and investing specific highly liquid assets to secure quick resources.

A gradual and well-considered adjustment of the exchange rate towards 1500-1700 dinars as a starting point is advisable, with the risk of reaching 2000 if oil revenues do not improve.

Combining these tools together reduces the deficit pressure to limits that can be financed internally, and the central bank may pay for this adjustment through its reserves, given that most government spending is directed towards consumption and is considered a tool for effective aggregate demand directed towards imports financed and covered by the exchange rate.

Tishwash:  United States to inaugurate its largest Middle East diplomatic facility in Iraq's Erbil

Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources Michael Rigas will visit Erbil to inaugurate the new US Consulate General during his Middle East tour.

The United States will soon open its largest diplomatic facility in the Middle East, the new Consulate General in Erbil, the capital city of the Iraqi Kurdistan region, according to the US State Department.

Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources Michael Rigas will visit Erbil to inaugurate the new US Consulate General during his Middle East tour from 27 November to 5 December, the State Department said in a statement on Tuesday. 

The department stated that Rigas will also visit Baghdad, meet with Iraqi officials, and tour US diplomatic facilities.

The department added that Rigas's itinerary includes stops in Istanbul, Baghdad, Erbil, and Jerusalem. The purpose of his travel is to emphasise US commitments to stability, security, religious freedom, and prosperity in the region.

Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Prime Minister Masrour Barzani stated on Wednesday that the opening of the largest US consulate in Erbil is "a major indicator... for the strong relations between the United States and the Kurdistan Region."

The current US Consulate General, located in Erbil's Ankawa suburb, has been targeted several times by drones reportedly launched by pro-Iran militias in Iraq.

In June 2025, amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, the United States ordered non-emergency government personnel to leave its diplomatic missions in Iraq, while maintaining essential embassy and consulate operations.

According to the official website of the US embassy in Iraq, the Consulate General in Erbil serves the four provinces of the Kurdistan Region: Erbil, Sulaimaniyah, Duhok, and Halabja. It includes an executive office led by the Consul General, as well as sections for political and economic affairs, public diplomacy, consular services, rule of law, management, and security. The USAID office for the Iraqi Kurdistan Region is also located at the Consulate General.  link

Tishwash:  Income gap: Iraq lags behind oil-producing countries despite its enormous wealth

The income gap reveals that the per capita share of Iraq does not exceed $5,800, while Qatar and Oman shockingly surpass it, reflecting the failure of oil wealth management to improve the standard of living.

The latest data from the International Monetary Fund reveals an unprecedented gap in income levels within the Arab world. The figures show that the richest Gulf state (Qatar) is ahead of Iraq by more than 1100% in per capita GDP, while the poorest Gulf state (Oman) is ahead of it by 230%. This shockingly shows that Iraqis are effectively living outside the club of oil-producing countries, despite the enormous wealth that their country possesses.

Qatar tops the list with $71,400 per person annually, while Iraq stands at only $5,800, a very low position compared to oil-producing countries, revealing a deep flaw in the conversion of natural resources into economic prosperity.

Iraq is out of the oil club.

According to the index, even economically unstable countries like Libya ($6,900) and Algeria ($6,100) outperform Iraq.

Oman (the poorest of the Gulf countries in terms of income) is also ahead of it by more than three times, with a share of $19,100 per person.

In contrast, Iraq only surpasses countries with limited resources such as Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, and Egypt, which places it in the category of a “middle-income economy” despite its enormous oil and human potential. Iraq possesses:

 One of the world's largest oil reserves

Annual revenues exceeding $100 billion

A huge young and productive workforce

However, the per capita share does not reflect this wealth, indicating a clear imbalance in resource management, weak productivity, and the dominance of unproductive activities.

Three clear economic messages...

1. The failure to utilize oil revenues for the welfare of the citizen, due to the almost complete dependence on rent.

2. The dominance of the public sector and the inflation of operating expenses at the expense of investment.

3. The absence of a diversified economy capable of creating added value and real income for the individual.

What does this mean for the Iraqi citizen?

Thus, Iraq’s ranking reveals that economic growth does not reach the lives of citizens , and that the standard of living does not represent the true wealth of the country. It also places the next government before the responsibility of restructuring the economy and transforming natural wealth into actual development (if it has the ability and will to do so).  link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Global Markets Rebound as Rate-Cut Bets Ignite Risk Appetite

Investors reposition portfolios as equities rally, bonds stabilize, and liquidity surges across short-term credit markets

Overview

• Global equities rallied at the end of November as expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut strengthened, boosting investor confidence.

• Treasury yields steadied, supported by renewed optimism in fixed-income markets.

• Money-market fund inflows increased, reflecting a preference for liquidity amid ongoing valuation concerns in equities.

• Precious metals strengthened, indicating continued hedging behavior against macroeconomic uncertainty.

Key Developments

• Asian and U.S. markets surged, responding to growing expectations that the Fed will cut rates in December.

• Bond markets saw renewed stability, as investors positioned for potential easing in global monetary policy.

• Short-term credit and money-market instruments gained traction, with investors rotating out of overvalued equity sectors.

• Global equity funds recorded their first outflow in ten weeks, as portfolios shifted toward balance and risk mitigation.

Why It Matters
This broad-based market rebound signals a turning point after weeks of volatility. Investors are recalibrating their portfolios around the possibility of looser monetary policy, creating a new equilibrium between equities, bonds, short-term credit, and safe-haven assets. The shift reflects a deeper structural adjustment within the global financial system.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Financial System Re-Calibration: Changes in interest-rate expectations are restructuring liquidity flows, risk pricing, and investor positioning — core elements of global financial reset dynamics.

• Pillar — Portfolio Diversification & Risk Hedging: Increased allocations to money-market instruments and precious metals highlight a broader movement toward defensive diversification as systemic vulnerabilities become more visible.

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

Dollar Weakens as Global Liquidity Shifts Toward Alternative Stores of Value

Currency markets react to rising rate-cut expectations, surging metals, and a pivot toward diversified reserves

Overview

• The U.S. dollar weakened modestly as global investors repositioned ahead of expected Federal Reserve rate cuts.

• Money-market data shows shifting liquidity patterns, with inflows moving into cash-like instruments rather than dollar-denominated risk assets.

• Precious metals surged, underscoring increased demand for alternative safe-haven stores of value outside traditional currencies.

• Central banks and institutional investors are diversifying, reflecting growing caution around dollar strength and long-term value stability.

Key Developments

• A weakening dollar index reflects changing global expectations as interest-rate forecasts shift.

• Short-term U.S. funding markets remain strong, but rising inflows into money-market funds suggest investors are seeking protection against currency volatility.

• Gold and other metals are attracting increased reserve interest, indicating that some institutions are hedging currency exposure with non-fiat assets.

• Global investors are recalibrating forex positions, responding to evolving geopolitical risks and uncertainties surrounding U.S. policy direction.

Why It Matters
A weakening dollar — even modestly — has far-reaching implications across global trade, commodity pricing, emerging-market debt, and reserve management strategies. When combined with strong safe-haven demand and shifts in funding markets, it signals that confidence in traditional currency hierarchies is beginning to evolve.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Currency Realignment: As dollar softening converges with rising demand for metals and alternative assets, global market participants are preparing for a more multipolar currency structure.

• Pillar — Reserve Diversification: Increasing institutional interest in non-dollar stores of value suggests a slow rebalancing of global reserves — a foundational change in the international monetary landscape.

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

Central Bank Governor: Digital Currency Will Solve 90% Of The Problems In The Iraqi Financial System

Banks  Economy News – Baghdad   The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, affirmed on Thursday that lasting solutions must be built in a way that closes the gaps in the financial system. He explained that the tools available today, especially modern technology, offer effective solutions and address many of these gaps.

Al-Alaq said during the "Investing in Reconstruction... The Role of Banks" conference in Beirut that "the main problem between the Iraqi treasury and society is the use of the dollar in cash within Iraq, which is a normal social matter in Iraqi society. He added: "We have worked on this issue and presented other alternatives that reduce dependence on cash, and we have developed the financial system so that cash dollars are restricted to travelers only."

He explained that the "traveler's dollar" system prevents any attempts at circumvention, emphasizing that the US Federal Reserve indicated Iraq ranks first in controlling the use of cash dollars within the country. He noted that these measures have reduced the use of foreign currency by 80% and shifted the majority of domestic financial transactions to the Iraqi dinar.

Al-Alaq concluded his remarks by noting that work is underway to develop the digital currency, which is expected to solve about 90% of the financial problems in Iraq, stressing that this step represents one of the radical solutions for the financial system in the country.   https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62785

The Central Bank Of Iraq Announces The Success Of Its Monetary Policy In Curbing Inflation.

banks  Economy News – Baghdad   The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed on Thursday that there is no intention to change the official exchange rate. While noting that the rumors that are spread from time to time aim to speculate in the parallel market, it pointed out that its monetary policy has succeeded in curbing inflation, as evidenced by international recognition.

Alaa Al-Fahd, a member of the Central Bank's media office, said, "There are parties trying to fish in troubled waters and spread rumors and false news that are far from the Central Bank's jurisdiction in order to raise exchange rates in the parallel market," indicating that "the Central Bank always defends monetary policy and the general price level."

Al-Fahd added that “inflation rates in Iraq have reached, according to international testimony (the IMF and the World Bank), low and historic rates compared to the countries of the region, and have even reached the negative rate, which is happening for the first time and is considered an achievement for monetary policy in preserving purchasing power, especially for the poor classes.”

He explained that "the Central Bank continues to finance foreign trade with high smoothness, while diversifying the basket of foreign currencies (Chinese yuan, UAE dirham, Turkish lira), as well as shifting from the electronic platform to strengthening balances through direct correspondence with global banks," stressing that "these measures have achieved clear monetary stability."

Regarding the difference between the official and parallel market rates, Al-Fahd explained that "the price in the parallel market does not reflect the real demand for the dollar, but rather represents an illegal and unofficial demand for speculation, since the Central Bank covers the legitimate demands for financing trade and travel," noting that "any talk about changing the exchange rate issued by non-experts aims to confuse the public."

Al-Fahd stressed that “determining the exchange rate is the exclusive prerogative of the Central Bank according to the legal article in Law No. 56 of 2004, and despite coordination with the government and the Ministry of Finance, the technical opinion of the Central Bank at this stage does not support any change or increase in the exchange rate due to the stability achieved in monetary reserves and price levels.”  https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62791

Trump's Envoy: There Is No Place For Armed Groups In Iraq

November 27, 2025   London – Al-Zaman  : US President Donald Trump’s envoy, Mark Savaya, confirmed on Thursday that the Iraqi government must identify those responsible for the attack on the Kormor oil field and bring them to justice, while noting that it should be clear that there is no place for armed groups in Iraq.

Savaya said in a post on the X platform that “illegal armed groups, driven by hostile foreign agendas, launched an attack yesterday on the Khor Mor gas field.”

He continued: “The Iraqi government must identify those responsible for this attack and bring them to justice. Let it be crystal clear: there is no place for such armed groups in a fully sovereign Iraq.” He added that “the United States will fully support these efforts, and every illegal armed group and every supporter of it will be tracked down, confronted, and held accountable.”

He added, “The United States supports a strong Kurdistan within a unified and stable Iraq, and we encourage Baghdad and Erbil to deepen their security cooperation and work closely to protect vital infrastructure for the economy and energy.”

He noted that “the United States reaffirms its unwavering commitment to assisting the Iraqi government in strengthening its defense capabilities and building its national forces. Together, we will continue to protect Iraq’s resources, defend its sovereignty, and ensure the security and well-being of all its citizens.”  LINK

Brent Crude Futures Stabilize

Economy |  28/11/2025   Mawazin News - Follow-up:   Brent crude futures saw little change as investors awaited progress in Russian-Ukrainian peace talks and the outcome of Sunday's OPEC+ meeting for clues about potential supply changes that could impact prices.

Brent crude futures for the nearest delivery month settled unchanged at $63.34 a barrel in thin trading after rising 21 cents at Thursday's settlement, while the more actively traded February contract fell 2 cents to $62.85.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 35 cents, or 0.60%, to $59 a barrel. There was no trading in U.S. crude on Thursday due to the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States.https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270878

Gold Continues To Rise And Is On Track For Its Fourth Consecutive Monthly Gain.

Economy | 28/11/2025  Mawazin News - Follow-up:   Gold prices rose, continuing their upward trajectory towards achieving monthly gains for the fourth consecutive month, supported by increasing expectations of a US Federal Reserve interest rate cut next month. Silver also continued its ascent, nearing a new record high, just one dollar away.

Gold traded near $4,190 an ounce, up about 5% during the week, bolstered by a wave of statements from Federal Reserve officials and delayed US economic data due to the government shutdown, which increased the likelihood of a rate cut. Swaps traders are pricing in a probability exceeding 80% for a quarter-point cut in December.

The US government shutdown, the longest in history, has delayed the release of key economic statistics, and some may not be released at all, making it difficult for the Fed and investors to assess the state of the world's largest economy and reinforcing the trend towards gold as a safe haven.

Gold has posted near-monthly gains throughout the year and is on track for its best annual performance since 1979, supported by heavy central bank buying and strong investor inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This pushed it past $4,380 an ounce last month, a record high.

Gold has held steady above $4,000 this month despite retreating from its peak, while ETF inflows have remained stable for the fourth consecutive week. Silver rose 1%, nearing its all-time high, supported by tight supply, increased ETF inflows, and expectations of interest rate cuts. Gold climbed to $4,190.17 an ounce by 10:03 a.m. in Singapore.

The spot dollar index remained steady, platinum edged higher after a strong 1.6% jump on Thursday, and silver and palladium continued to post notable gains.

Global markets are awaiting all the expected signals before the Federal Reserve enters its period of media silence, at a time when alternative assets, including gold, are witnessing increasing demand as investors withdraw from government bonds and currencies.   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270876

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Hungary Steps Into the Middle: Orban’s Moscow Visit Revives Energy Diplomacy & Peace Dialogue

Budapest’s balancing act between East and West sharpens as winter energy needs collide with Ukraine war diplomacy.

Overview

• Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow to discuss energy security and Ukraine-related peace efforts.

• Hungary remains one of the only EU states maintaining extensive energy ties with Russia, importing large volumes of crude oil and natural gas while continuing cooperation on nuclear energy projects.

• The visit comes amid EU pressure to deepen energy diversification and maintain a unified stance on Russia, yet Hungary continues to secure exemptions from sanctions, most recently with U.S. backing.

Key Developments

• Energy Dependence Continues: Hungary’s heavy reliance on Russian oil and gas remains central to its geopolitical posture, especially heading into winter.

• Nuclear Cooperation Under Review: Rosatom’s delayed expansion of Hungary’s Paks I nuclear plant will likely be discussed, along with parallel U.S. nuclear coordination.

• Diplomatic Bridge or Disruptor: Orban has previously pushed for peace plans involving both Trump and Putin, signaling an ambition to position Hungary as a diplomatic intermediary—though none have materialized.

• EU Watching Closely: Brussels sees the visit as a potential challenge to EU cohesion on energy strategy, sanctions, and Ukraine support.

Why It Matters

Hungary’s engagement with Moscow underscores a widening fault line inside Europe: the tension between national energy security and collective EU strategy. Orban’s trip highlights Hungary’s willingness to diverge from EU consensus, raising questions about unity as Europe faces another volatile winter. The meeting also reintroduces Hungary as a possible—but unpredictable—actor in discussions around a future Ukraine settlement.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 2 — Diplomacy & Peace

Hungary’s attempt to negotiate directly with Moscow positions it as a wildcard in ongoing peace efforts. While this could open new diplomatic channels, it may also complicate EU and NATO alignment on Ukraine and sanctions strategy.

Pillar 1 — Finance & Energy Security

Hungary’s sustained reliance on Russian oil, gas, and nuclear cooperation reinforces the broader trend of energy-specific bilateral deals shaping geopolitical leverage. These shifts influence Europe’s long-term restructuring of energy financing and supply chains.

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

De-Dollarization / BRICS Update – Yuan Strategy Marks Major Turning Point
Subhead: Indonesia’s Yuan push accelerates broader currency shift among BRICS nations

Overview

• Bank Indonesia (BI) has begun preparing FX-operation instruments in Chinese yuan (and Japanese yen) to deepen forex markets and promote local-currency trading (LCT) with China. 

• The move coincides with rising yuan-denominated lending in People's Bank of China (PBOC) systems — yuan-backed credit and bond investments have surged, supporting broader de-dollarization trends in the bloc. 

• With these developments, member states of BRICS are not only discussing alternative payment systems, but actively building infrastructure that could reduce dependence on the US dollar. 

Key Developments

• BI’s November 2025 decision adds yuan-rupiah spot and swap instruments — a structural shift aimed at elevating the yuan’s role in Indonesia’s FX and trade flows. 

• Meanwhile, in China, yuan-denominated lending and financing have expanded dramatically: deposits and bond investments surged to RMB 3.4 trillion (≈ USD 480 billion) over five years, underscoring a strategic move away from dollar-sector dominance. 

• The broader BRICS payment ecosystem — including digital payment infrastructure and cross-border local-currency settlement frameworks — is accelerating, signalling a shift in how international trade may be settled going forward. 

Why It Matters
These developments are more than bilateral finance tweaks — they represent structural re-engineering of global payments. As Indonesia and China deepen yuan-based trade channels, BRICS is laying the groundwork for a multipolar currency architecture. If such frameworks scale across the bloc, the dominance of the US dollar in global trade and financing could be challenged over the medium term.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Currency Multipolarity — By building robust yuan-based FX systems and trade-settlement infrastructure, BRICS is effectively institutionalizing alternatives to dollar-centric financial architecture.

• Pillar: Financial Sovereignty & Resilience — Reducing dependence on the US dollar and diversifying currency exposure strengthens member countries’ resilience to external economic and geopolitical shocks.

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