Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Digital Currency Network Bypasses the West — Dollar Weakens

As BRICS nations integrate digital currencies, they’re quietly rerouting global finance away from Western control.

What Is Unfolding

• BRICS is not launching a single unified digital currency for now, but is integrating Russia’s digital ruble, China’s digital yuan, and India’s digital rupee into a combined payments infrastructure. 

• The system is expected to become operational between 2026 and 2027, allowing direct conversions between national digital currencies — without intermediaries such as Western banks or SWIFT. 

• The BRICS Pay platform will act as a messaging / settlement layer, tying together other national systems like SPFS (Russia), CIPS (China), UPI (India), and PIX (Brazil). 

Why This Is a Strategic Shift

• Dollar Bypass: By enabling settlement in local digital currencies, transactions can stay within BRICS rails, reducing exposure to dollar-based sanctions or surveillance.

• Soft De-Dollarization: This isn’t an overnight dethroning. It’s gradual: local-currency trade, payment infrastructure integration, and settlement mapping instead of an outright currency swap.

• Autonomy & Resilience: Nations in the bloc gain more independence from Western financial chokepoints — reinforcing sovereignty in money flows.

Challenges & Unanswered Questions

• Trust & Stability: How will exchange rates be managed between digital currencies? How to prevent volatility?

• Adoption & Scale: For new rails to matter, a critical mass of trade volume and users is needed — plus cross-border liquidity.

• Interoperability: Will BRICS digital rails integrate with or conflict with existing global systems (e.g. correspondent banking)?

• Gold or Asset Backing? Some speculation suggests backing in gold, but no official commitment has been made yet. 

Global Implications

• Erosion of Dollar Hegemony: As more trade migrates off-dollar, the U.S. dollar’s dominance in global reserves and payments could gradually weaken.

• Financial Bloc Formation: This may accelerate the emergence of regional financial zones — BRICS rails on one side, Western rails on another.

• Credit & Capital Flow Shifts: New corridors of investment may favor nations aligned with BRICS rails, altering capital allocation.

• Sanctions Recycle: In future conflicts, excluded nations might plug into BRICS rails to evade financial isolation.

Why This Matters / Key Takeaway

BRICS isn’t trying to smash the dollar overnight — it’s building alternative rails under its feet.
Once payment, settlement, and currency infrastructure realign, the dollar’s grip becomes more symbolic than structural.
The future architecture of global liquidity is being sketched today — and it may center outside the Western system.

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

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Friday Morning 10-10-25

The Biggest Corruption Disaster In Iraq's History: $35 Billion Is "Stolen" Annually, And $775 Billion In Losses Are "Without A Trace."

Five National Budgets   Politics / Economy / Special Files Yesterday, 5:00 PM | 11:18  Baghdad Today – Baghdad  Iraq is experiencing what can be described as   an "economy plagued by structural corruption."
 
Corruption is no longer a passing incident  or a deviation in administrative behavior,  but has become an integral component of the power equation  and a hidden driver in political and economic decision-making circles.

Monitoring and research estimates indicate that  Iraq has lost more than $600 billion over two decades  due to administrative and financial corruption,   at a time when actual spending on  infrastructure,  education, and  health  did not exceed 20% of total oil revenues.
 
However, this tally,  officially announced by former Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi in 2023,  only covers the period until mid-2020.
 
This means that the last five years (2021–2025)  remain beyond any comprehensive official disclosure,  despite the accumulation of cases and scandals witnessed by state institutions.
 
According to observers, the continued absence of updated data after 2020  indicates that the corruption hemorrhage is ongoing  and may have worsened in some sectors  that have not yet been subjected to actual scrutiny.
 
If the same annual rate of losses recorded up to 2020,  amounting to approximately $35 billion annually, were adopted, the   subsequent five years (2021–2025) would have added   approximately $176 billion to the total waste and embezzlement.
 
Thus, the estimated total accumulated losses today could exceed $775 billion,    equivalent to five full Iraqi budgets according to 2024 figures.
 
This mathematical equation demonstrates that the  persistence of the corruption structure at the same pace  means that the state has not stopped the bleeding,  but rather shifted it from one stage to another  without a genuine institutional rupture.
 
This makes the   cost of corruption in Iraq escalating over time   and politically complex.
 
This figure alone—even in its incomplete form—  is sufficient to depict the magnitude of the structural crisis that has   afflicted state institutions and   weakened their ability to provide   even the most basic public services,  despite the fact that total oil revenues since 2003 have exceeded $1.2 trillion.
 
This figure summarizes   a horrific gap between realized wealth and development returns,  and between what was collected and what was wasted.
 
Institutional analyses confirm that   these losses represent not only wasted money,  but also lost "political capital."
 
Corruption has impacted public trust in the state   and Iraq's standing   on international integrity indicators,  ranking 140th out of 180 countries in  Transparency International's 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index.
 
This continued decline not only means that corruption persists,  but that it is now measured more by the   extent of the collapse of trust in oversight institutions  than by the amount of stolen assets.

Thus, every reform attempt—no matter how belated—  turns into an existential test for the state itself:
 
Is it still capable of holding itself accountable,  or has corruption become a condition of its political survival?
 
When we talk about $600 billion,  we are not talking about a figure in accounting books,  but rather 3.7 times Iraq's current annual budget,  which amounts to approximately $162.9 billion  according to the 2024 budget law.
 
In other words,  the funds wasted until 2020  were enough to finance Iraq's entire budget for four consecutive years  without exporting a single barrel of oil.
 
If we add the documented cases that occurred after 2020—    most notably the "theft of the century," which alone amounted to $2.5 billion—  the actual losses appear to be much greater than the official figure.
 
Since that year,  no government has released an updated financial statement, and  no cumulative figures have been presented to parliament  regarding the amount of recovered or wasted funds,   meaning that the lost budget has already exceeded the $600 billion ceiling.
 
By simple comparison,  Jordan, with an annual budget of approximately $25 billion,  could have been fully funded for 24 years from these wasted funds.
 
Lebanon, with a budget of no more than $16 billion,   could have covered its public spending for 37 consecutive years.
 
Syria, with a budget ranging between $8 and $10 billion,  could have funded its budget for approximately 60 years.
 
These amounts would be sufficient   to cover Kuwait's $80 billion budget for seven full years.
 
Independent economic estimates indicate that  this figure would be sufficient to build  10,000 modern schools,  1,000 hospitals, and  5,000 integrated housing complexes, as well as  establish a self-sufficient national electricity system, in addition to  water and sewage networks covering all governorates.
 
It is, in essence, a budget for rebuilding a country from scratch,  but it has disappeared into a vortex of  illusory contracts,  shoddy deals, and  political quotas  that have reproduced corruption with each election cycle under new guises.
 
In this context, MP Yasser Al-Husseini confirmed, during an interview with Baghdad Today, that  "the oversight and judicial authorities are proceeding with   one of the most important stages of   combating corruption in Iraq's history, by   referring 22 files that are considered   the most important in our battle against corruption  to the judicial authorities,  including the Public Prosecution,  the Integrity Commission, and the  Board of Financial Supervision."

He added,  "The ball is now in the court of the judiciary,  which has the final say in resolving these cases."
 
Cross-referenced legal readings  confirm that the referral of this number of cases at this time  represents a moment of dual political-judicial pressure.

On the one hand, the current government is trying to demonstrate  its seriousness in combating corruption just one month before the end of its term.
 
On the other hand,  the judiciary finds itself facing a simultaneous test of independence and speed.
 
Legal deliberations indicate that the  value of these referrals is not measured by their number,  but rather by the standing of the individuals and institutions they target,  and the judicial system's ability to overcome the political pressures  that typically accompany major cases.
 
Past experience confirms that most similar cases were closed  under the pretext of "insufficient evidence"  or were transferred to subsequent governments.
 
This means that the true success of these referrals   will not be measured by the announcement,  but by the enforceable judicial ruling.
 
Anti-corruption expert Saeed Yassin Musa told Baghdad Today,  "The lack of serious accountability and   the dominance of political forces over institutions  are the most prominent reasons for the persistence of corruption.
 
The entities or individuals involved in major cases   have not been held accountable,  despite the existence of official documents and reports  proving the extent of the violations and transgressions."
 
Research studies confirm that what Iraq is facing is not "individual corruption,"   but rather an integrated system of influence extending across the  political,  administrative,  financial, and  legal levels.
 
Such that state institutions have become spheres of partisan influence  rather than neutral executive units.

According to public administration studies, the  lack of civil service independence, the  lack of transparency in government contracting, and the  integration of oversight bodies within the party system  have made combating corruption nearly impossible  without radical and comprehensive administrative reform.
 
This is why Musa emphasizes that  "restoring confidence in the Iraqi economy cannot be achieved  without  sincere political will and  firm legal measures  that restore the state's prestige and  halt the drain on public funds that threatens the country's future development."
 
He calls for the implementation of the principle of  "where did you get this from" and the  enactment of laws that protect whistleblowers  and require public disclosure of financial assets.
 
Political assessments unanimously agree that the  timing of the referral of these files—  one month before the elections—  raises suspicion,  not because they are unimportant,  but because they follow years of silence and oversight procrastination.
 
The government, preparing to hand over power,  appears to be seeking to leave a last-minute moral impact  rather than actual reform.

According to modern political approaches,  the fight against corruption is not measured by the extent of its announcement,  but rather by its sustainability.
 
Delayed measures   are not enough to change the general impression in a country  where most citizens believe that selective accountability  has become part of the political game itself.
 
Academic readings indicate that  a state that postpones confrontation  until the moment of farewell  loses the legitimacy of reform  because it chose not a difficult  but a safe time.
 
True reform does not occur when power is at its demise,  but when it is at the peak of its power,  able to confront challenges  without electoral calculations or coalition agreements.
 
The loss of $600 billion—until 2020—  represents a magnifying glass of the structural flaws in the Iraqi state.
 
What makes the picture even bleaker, however,  is that no official disclosure of the new toll has been made in the five years since,  despite the accumulation of major cases that have yet to be opened.
 
This means that the actual figure today   may exceed $7 billion of the total wasted budget.
 
While the referral of 22 difficult cases represents a positive development in form,  its substance will remain dependent on the  judiciary's ability to overcome political will  and apply justice without selectivity.
 
What will decide the battle against corruption in Iraq   is not the number or size of the cases,  but the state's ability to hold itself accountable  before holding others accountable.
 
A state that wastes enough resources to build three neighboring countries,  then refers corruption cases in the final weeks of its political cycle,  is not practicing actual reform  as much as  it is offering a delayed admission of its structural inability to manage accountability in a timely manner.
 
Every missing dollar of those six billion is documentary evidence of the state's absencewhen it should be present as a guarantor of justice and oversight.
 
Every case closed without an enforceable rulingis an embodiment of the continuing imbalance between law and authority,where justice remains deferred in text before being deferred in application.     https://baghdadtoday.news/284866-35-775.html

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Thursday Morning 10-9-25

Central Bank Governor: We Have Received 80 Applications To Establish Digital Banks.

Buratha News Agency  2025-10-09   The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, announced on Thursday that the bank has received approximately 80 applications to establish digital banks, stressing that the names of licensed digital banks will be announced soon. Al-Alaq told the official agency, "The Central Bank has received between 70 and 80 applications to establish a digital bank. This number can only be licensed according to a set of criteria based on market studies, the nature of the work, and the experiences of other countries, where the number of digital banks usually does not exceed two, three, or four."

He continued, "Therefore, we have begun vetting processes to determine requirements in a way that ensures that licenses are granted to entities with the best qualifications." He emphasized, "We are now in the final stages of announcing the banks that will be licensed."

He added, "Before making the final decision, we engaged Oliver Wyman to review the criteria set by the Central Bank, based on which licenses will be granted."

Al-Alaq also explained that "the aforementioned company has been studying these criteria over the past few days, having been preoccupied with the banking reform file and the comprehensive plan, and we believe we will receive a final answer within the next few days."   http://burathanews.com/arabic/economic/466243

Combating Financial Fraud Enhances Confidence In The Banking Sector.

Samir Al-Nusairi   Due to the successes achieved by the government and the Central Bank during the years (2023-2025) in expanding the field of digital transformation, activating electronic payment, and spreading the culture of using electronic cards among citizens.

The Central Bank and banks have begun receiving complaints of electronic financial fraud involving the exploitation of the accounts of retirees and various segments of society, particularly this year. Several cases of electronic financial fraud have been identified, including the withdrawal of deposits and salaries from employees' and bank customers' accounts using various fraudulent methods, which constitute financial crimes punishable by the Iraqi judiciary.

In addition to the entry and exit of funds through unofficial border crossings, which are exploited for currency counterfeiting and money laundering, the Central Bank has announced the creation of a complaints platform and is urging banks to launch a broad media and advertising campaign to warn citizens of the dangers of engaging in these illegal activities and their potential to harm the national economy.

Government agencies, the judiciary, and oversight bodies in Iraq have amended their applicable laws, issued new instructions and proactive controls, and developed procedural and electronic means to combat these crimes and protect their funds and the national economy.

Iraq, like other countries, has activated its economic and legislative apparatus and institutions to combat these crimes. It issued Anti-Money Laundering Law No. 39 of 2015, which included 12 chapters and articles that defined the crimes covered by the law and the penalties for each financial crime.

It also adheres to international standards that limit money laundering issued by the FATF, in addition to the crimes of counterfeiting, forgery and fraud stipulated in the Iraqi Penal Code and the instructions issued by the financial and monetary authorities, represented by the Central Bank of Iraq and the Ministry of Finance, to combat these crimes with the aim of preserving Iraq’s funds, especially its foreign currency, due to the impact of these crimes on the national economy and the creation of stifling economic and financial crises, which reflects on sustainable development.

The serious matter that contributes to the spread of this phenomenon is the weak compliance of financial and banking institutions with international compliance rules and standards, which means they are exposed to financial risks of all kinds, the most important of which are reputational risks, which directly affect Iraq’s international economic, financial and banking transactions, which affect Iraq’s external economic relations with countries around the world, especially the financial and banking transactions of Arab and foreign correspondent banks.

However, laws alone and internal judicial procedures cannot combat these financial crimes, which requires the development of local and international proactive electronic oversight methods by adopting mechanisms and policies regulated by international agreements for cooperation in reducing financial crimes related to money laundering, terrorist financing and electronic financial crimes related to electronic payment operations. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=60929

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Pushes Eurasian Nations to Curb the U.S. Dollar

At the 2025 SCO Summit, China led a campaign for 10 Eurasian countries to agree on reducing dollar dependence—and forging new financial paths.

What Was Unveiled

  ● New Development Bank in Local Currencies: During the 2025 SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) Summit, China proposed that Eurasian member countries create a New Development Bank where loans are issued in local currencies instead of the U.S. dollar. 
  ● Alternative Payment System: The summit also agreed on advancing a new cross-border payment network to bypass U.S. dollar-based systems entirely. 
  ● Countries Involved: The SCO and BRICS overlap among these 10 nations — including China, Russia, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Belarus.

Why This Shift Matters

• Undermining Dollar Hegemony: By routing lending and payments through local currencies and non-USD rails, BRICS seeks to erode the structural dominance of the U.S. dollar.

• Sovereign Leverage: Countries issuing debt or receiving investment in their own currency avoid exchange rate risk, sanctions, and external leverage.

• Regional Financial Architecture: A Eurasian bloc using a shared financial infrastructure creates network effects that reduce reliance on Western institutions.

• Test Case for Global South: Success in Eurasia could inspire other regions—Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia—to adopt similar frameworks.

Challenges & Frictions

• Divergent Interests: Within SCO, relationships are fraught—India vs. China or India vs. Pakistan tensions may impede unified action. 

• Economic Disparities: Many participant states lack capital market depth or strong currencies, making local-currency lending risky.

• Institutional & Legal Hurdles: Frameworks for cross-border conversion, interoperability, and dispute resolution are complex and not yet in place.

• Dollar Inertia: Many contracts, trade deals, and reserves are still denominated in USD—transitioning away is a process, not an instant shift.

How This Fits Into the Bigger Reordering

• Building Parallel Rails: This move is consistent with BRICS’ strategy: rather than attacking the dollar directly, build alternatives that gain traction over time.

• Decentralizing Reserve Sovereignty: With local currency lending, member states reclaim control over capital flows and credit.

• Momentum for De-Dollarization: This is a real operational step beyond rhetoric—moving trade, credit, and payments toward non-USD systems.

• Blueprint for Others: If Eurasia succeeds, it becomes the template for financial realignment across other geographies.

Why This Matters / Key Takeaway

China’s leadership in persuading Eurasian states to curb dollar dependence is a bold tactical maneuver in the broader strategic war over currency dominance.
If global capital and credit gradually shift to these new rails, the architecture of international finance will recalibrate from the ground up.

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

The End of Fiat, Stablecoins, and the Gold Reckoning: Lynette Zang

The End of Fiat, Stablecoins, and the Gold Reckoning: Lynette Zang

Kitco News:  10-9-2025

In a powerful, cut-down version of the interview, Zang dismantles the official economic narrative, arguing that central banks are rapidly losing control of the very data they rely upon.

 The discussion reveals a profound credibility gap that, according to Zang, signals the inevitable end of the current monetary system and the beginning of a radically different financial era.

If you are basing your financial security on official GDP reports and manipulated CPI numbers, consider this your urgent wake-up call.

The most immediate danger identified in the conversation is the alarming gap between the official economic narrative and the reality experienced by the average consumer.

We are continually bombarded with positive headlines—a “dovish” Federal Reserve, stable housing price narratives, and low unemployment figures. Yet, the underlying truth is that consumers are deeply stressed, and the U.S. Treasury market remains acutely fragile.

Zang points to a troubling trend: Economic data is becoming systematically unreliable. Data revisions are increasingly necessary, transparency is declining, and the political manipulation of statistics is evident.

When central banks cannot trust their own metrics, and the public is left bearing the risks of an artificially propped market, trust collapses.

This credibility gap is not just an inconvenience; it’s a death signal for the existing system.

The core thesis is simple: You cannot navigate an unstable economy with dysfunctional, politically motivated data. We are truly “flying blind.”

While much of the market focuses on traditional inflation drivers, Zang highlights a surprising new catalyst for monetary collapse: Stablecoins.

Stablecoins, digital assets pegged to fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar, are often viewed benignly. However, Zang argues that their proliferation could dramatically accelerate a wave of hyperinflation and act as the transitional mechanism during the shift to a new global system.

This threat arises from the systemic fragility of the underlying assets—often U.S. Treasuries—that back these tokens. As systemic risk in the traditional banking sector and Treasury market increases, a run on stablecoins could quickly transmit and amplify volatility throughout the entire monetary structure, potentially leading to rapid creation and devaluation of digital money during a crisis point.

The shift toward central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and digital assets represents a profound monetary transition. Zang warns that those holding traditional fiat assets could face devastating losses as this transition accelerates, pushed forward by digital catalysts like stablecoins.

In an environment of extreme systemic fragility, attention inevitably turns to safe-haven assets. Zang’s analysis dedicates significant focus to the discrepancy between the official gold market and physical reality.

The official spot price of gold is believed to be heavily distorted by the dominance of paper trading (futures and derivatives) over genuine physical holdings. This artificial suppression keeps prices lower than what the real-world demand for physical metal would dictate.

The movement toward physical gold and silver is the market’s definitive statement about the future of the global monetary system. When demand shifts from easily manipulated paper claims to tangible metal, the exposure of gold’s real, undervalued price becomes a looming trigger that will shake market confidence to its core.

Why do smart investors and the public continue to cling to a system showing clear, systemic failure?

Zang addresses the dangerous psychological crutch of “hopeium”— the irrational hope that regulators and central authorities will somehow successfully engineer a soft landing or successfully fix the underlying flaws.

Human tendency is often to avoid painful action until it is too late. Clinging to flawed fiat money systems, despite clear evidence of their imminent failure, is a critical error that perpetuates risky behavior.

When the market reset arrives, those relying on hope and paper promises will bear the brunt of the financial devastation.

The time to transition liquid wealth into tangible, enduring assets—primarily physical gold and silver—is now, before the credibility gap explodes into a full-scale liquidity crisis.

Want to understand the full implications of data manipulation, stablecoin risk, and how to position yourself for the inevitable financial reset?

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

IMF Chief Declares “Uncertainty Is the New Normal”

In the face of persistent volatility, global resilience is being tested—and the era of stable certainty may be over.

Headline Warning

• IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva stated at the Milken Institute that “uncertainty is the new normal,” signaling elevated risks across global markets and economies.

• Despite ongoing challenges, she noted the global economy has held up “better than feared,” projecting ~3% growth in 2025. 

• Georgieva warned that current market valuations resemble pre-dotcom bubble levels and cautioned that a sharp correction could expose deeper fragilities. 

Underlying Risks Highlighted

• Tariff tailwinds & policy spillovers: She warned that trade tensions, especially U.S. tariffs, are yet to fully unfold and could trigger inflation or financial stress. 

• Gold demand as a signal: Soaring gold prices—already above $4,000/oz—serve as an early warning of investors fleeing safer assets. 

• Debt overload and tight policy windows: Public debt nearing critical thresholds in many nations means less room to maneuver when shocks hit. 

• Vulnerability of emerging economies: Smaller states face amplified risk in such environments, as capital flight, FX volatility, and debt stress can cascade quickly. 

Connection to Global Financial Restructuring

• Normalization of volatility: The IMF’s tone shift legitimizes the idea that structural instability is now baked in, not an aberration.

• Reserve & capital rethinking: In conditions of uncertainty, nations will prefer asset-backed, less dollar-centric instruments (i.e. gold, sovereign alternatives).

• Blocs & parallel systems gain appeal: Traditional centralized institutions may be bypassed more aggressively in favor of regional or sovereign networks.

• Stress test on financial dominance: If confidence in Western institutions falters, the legitimacy of alternative architectures strengthens.

Why This Matters / Key Takeaway

Georgieva’s declaration is more than cautionary — it’s a herald of a new era.
As uncertainty becomes constant, actors—states, funds, and financial institutions—must reposition toward resilience, autonomy, and strategic flexibility.
The global economy is no longer about stability; it’s about managing disruption.

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

Bank of England Warns of Sharp Market Correction Risks

As AI valuations soar and central bank credibility wobbles, the UK warns that markets may be on the brink of a storm.

Core Warning

• The Bank of England (BoE) cautions that a “sharp correction” could occur if sentiment sours toward AI valuations or the independence of the U.S. Federal Reserve. 

• The BoE’s Financial Policy Committee underscored that U.S. equity valuations, especially in AI-focused stocks, mirror levels last seen during the dotcom bubble. 

• The concentration risk is stark: five firms now account for ~30% of the S&P 500’s value, intensifying vulnerability to shifts in AI optimism. 

• Because UK and U.S. bond yields are correlated, a weakening U.S. bond market may increase U.K. borrowing costs. 

Contributing Tensions

• AI bubble risk: The overvaluation in tech — driven by AI hype — raises the possibility of abrupt reversal. 

• Fed credibility under scrutiny: Any perceived politicization or interference in the U.S. central bank could shake confidence across global markets. 

• Fragile macro linkages: High debt loads, inflationary pressures, and fragile corporate balance sheets increase systemic sensitivity. 

• Spillover danger: A crash in U.S. markets reverberates globally; emerging markets will feel amplified impact.

Link to Global Restructuring

• Fragile central legitimacy: If central bank independence is questioned, the entire edifice of credibility beneath fiat systems weakens.

• AI as a systemic catalyst: Tech bubbles now threaten macro stability — meaning future financial systems must embed circuit breakers and structural dampeners.

• Acceleration of alternative rails: When faith in old systems is shaken, capital gravitates toward safe alternatives — gold, decentralized networks, regional systems.

• Recalibrated risk patterns: Volatility becomes a core dimension of finance strategy, not an anomaly to be avoided.

Why This Matters / Key Takeaway

The BoE’s warning is a red flag: markets resting on AI-driven narratives may lack real foundations.
As risk mounts, institutions and nations must brace for rupture — not just correction.
The era where momentum alone propels markets is ending; structural resilience and alternative systems become the new edge.

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

Podcast: Even at $4,000 Gold the Miners Are Ridiculously Cheap

Podcast: Even at $4,000 Gold the Miners Are Ridiculously Cheap

Notes From ther Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  October 8, 2025

Yesterday we wrote that with gold topping $4,000, it’s time to step back and look at the big picture—and the fundamentals haven’t changed.

Foreign governments and central banks hold about $10 trillion in US denominated reserves. But for years they’ve been trading this paper for gold— because it is their only realistic alternative.

Why are they searching for an alternative? Because they are losing confidence in the US government.

The debt, the political dysfunction, the weaponization of the dollar— these all make them less excited about loaning money to the US government.

And their steady buying of gold is what pushed it to these levels.

Those catalysts have not gone away, and if anything, are stronger than ever.

When a few hundred billion in demand can double the price of gold, imagine what happens if even a small portion of the remaining trillions rotate into gold.

Does 5% of dollar reserves shifting into gold translate to $10,000 gold? 20% re-allocation to $20,000 per ounce?

We don’t know exactly, but these numbers are not fantastical. There’s still enormous room for upside.

In the short term, of course, we can see plenty of noise.

Markets respond to headlines—like the new prime minister of Japan openly calling for more money-printing. Any environment like that naturally drives gold higher.

But at the same time, we’re seeing signals that a correction could be near—a stampede of new individual investors, record inflows into large gold ETFs, and a drop off in jewelry sales.

There are some classic signs of a short-term top.

But we don’t focus on short term trading. We always look at the long term big picture. And the long-term trend remains solidly intact.

So does the most important story of all right now: the much ignored mining sector.

Even after a massive run, many gold miners are still deeply undervalued relative to the long-term intrinsic value of their businesses.

One company featured in our premium investment research is up 5x in the past year. Yet even if gold fell back to $3,000, it would still be turning enough profit to trade at just four times earnings.

It’s debt-free. It pays a dividend. And it offers massive downside protection.

So while no one has a crystal ball—and we can’t tell you what happens tomorrow—the reality is that the mining, drilling, and service companies behind this bull market remain absurdly cheap.

That’s an opportunity to take seriously.

We dug into all of this in our latest podcast which you can listen to here.

Gold Breaks $4000 - Is The Dollar Collapsing? | Mario Innecco

Gold Breaks $4000 - Is The Dollar Collapsing? | Mario Innecco

Liberty and Finance: 10-8-2025

Mario Innecco speaks about gold breaking above $4,000 and silver nearing $50, signaling deeper issues within the global financial system.

Innecco warns that such price surges often precede major economic or geopolitical crises, comparing today’s environment to 1980, 2008, and 2011 when precious metals spiked before turmoil.

 He suggests gold may be anticipating hidden credit stress, inflation, or war, as physical demand from central banks and investors drains available supply and pushes lease rates higher.

Despite record prices, Innecco cautions against selling physical holdings, arguing that gold and silver serve as essential insurance against fiat currency collapse.

 He predicts silver could soar well beyond $50 once resistance breaks, as institutional and retail investors rush into tangible assets amid fading confidence in the financial system.

Member: Good morning everyone and Mark and mods!!

Member: What's the news on your bonds contacts? I am down to two fingernails, the rest are lodged in the cliff we have all been hanging on to!!!

MZ: I had the one bond contact who had an appointment yesterday and has a follow-up appointment today. They said yesterday’s meeting went great.

MZ: My other bond contact would not comment on how their meeting went, but let me know that the treasury is chasing serial numbers and due diligence on some new intakes …there are some other countries and treasuries competing on some of these…..and he said things are going exceptionally well.

MZ: So they are doing due diligence on that one group and they say they are expected to go within the week with their full funding.

Member: Which bonds are you talking about?

MZ: Some of the historic bonds are American…Some are international. There are yellow dragon bonds and others from China…there are some from Mexico, Germany and other bonds that helped rebuild countries after wars.

Member: there are also railroad bonds….and many others.

Member: Shouldn’t CMKX be going if bonds are being paid?

MZ: We assume they are being paid…..if so CMKX/CMKM would go right before we go to the banks. Within minutes or hours.

Member: I wonder if Sudani is waiting to pull the trigger in Iraq on the dinar right before the election?

Member: Mark did you see this? Barzani: : "tripartite agreement would be the starting point for agreeing to. the oil and gas law."

MZ: “ Governor of the Central Bank: We have received 80 applications for the establishment of digital banks”  this is one of the final stages in their “white paper” reforms

MZ: “The International Development Bank (IDB) sponsors the FAO port summit”  they are building that “International trade” . the world is spending a fortune in Iraq right now. This amount of capital would not be going there if these organizations and countries were not confident that they would make money on it.

Member: Is it possible that Iraq and Vietnam revalued internally and holding off public announcement?

MZ: From ZeroHedge news: “Gold tops $4000 for the first time and how Goldman is trading the melt-up from here”   This is fiat destruction…..and the domino in a global reset. This is a milestone moment. They are resetting the global financial system…and its right before our eyes…..

Member: Is gold at 4,000 and silver at 50.00 an rv marker?

Member: If it is- we are there.

MZ: They are all talking about a “reset” in main stream news now.

Member: As Gold Goes Up, The Fiat Goes Down: It's Called Revaluation

MZ: “ IRS to furlough 34,000 employees as government shutdown halts Treasury operations” This is about 46% of their staff. Most IRS operations are now closed.  

Member: The Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE) has secured SEC approval to operate as a national exchange

Member: Friend of mine in a Vnd group's leader headed back to talk with the Elders again and is saying toward the end of Oct.

Member: I feel like I’m at the movies, out of popcorn and having to go to the bathroom but the movie is so good you just can’t leave. Lol

Gold Telegraph: Conversation #11 with Judy Shelton

10-9-2025

“The message of gold going up is that people are expressing discomfort with the way governments try to manage the economy and manage the world…”

In this episode, Dr. Judy Shelton joins me once again to explain how restoring integrity to money through gold-linked bonds and honest monetary policy could reshape the global financial system and return power to the people.

She also warns that the United States must move before China to lead the next era of monetary reform.

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   FIREFLY: Sudani says the banking reforms have become a model of commitment and trust...Every time we see him, we do feel better.  The confidence in him is growing I will admit. Because he's telling us every day he's going to keep his promise... FRANK:  Sudani is not holding back...He comes straight out and he tells you as much as he can about the monetary reform without giving you the date or the rate.  He tells you the monetary reform of Iraqi banks is about to give you your purchasing power...by lifting of the zeros from your exchange rate.

Mnt Goat  ...This is a critical time and could result in a reinstatement if all goes well.  All the evidence shows us this is now inevitable, but when?  Yes, that is the questions we all want to know... 

 Militia Man  When Iraq changed the value from 1450 to 1310, they just popped out and said, boom it's done, no warning, they just did it effective immediately.  They do it when they are going to do it.  So, that's why we are watching how far Iraq is, do they have all of their systems in place, electronic payments, cross border payments...it's very complex.
