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

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Surging Bond Yields Signal a Brewing Financial Squeeze

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

Overview

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

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

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

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

Key Developments

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

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

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

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

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

Implications for the Global Reset

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

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

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

Geopolitical Fault Lines Shift as Fiscal and Currency Pressures Rise

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

Overview

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

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

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

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

Key Developments

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

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

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

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

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

Implications for the Global Reset

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

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

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

Markets Reprice Risk as Tech Volatility Spreads Across Global Equities

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

Overview

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

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

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

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

Key Developments

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

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

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

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

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

Implications for the Global Reset

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gold Prices Are Rising... How Much?  

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Investors Seek Shelter: Market Selloff Sends Gold and Treasuries Higher  

Investor sentiment sours as growth concerns mount.

Overview

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

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

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

Key Developments

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

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

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

Why It Matters

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

Implications for the Global Reset

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

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

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

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

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

Overview

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

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

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

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

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

Key Developments

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

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

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

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

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

Why It Matters

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

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: De-Dollarization

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

Pillar 2: Strategic Commodities Control

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jon Dowling: The Great Wealth Transfer Updates with Captain Kyle, November 2025

Jon Dowling: The Great Wealth Transfer Updates with Captain Kyle, November 2025

11-18-2025

Have you ever had the feeling that the world is on the cusp of something monumental? That beneath the surface of daily news cycles and market fluctuations, a profound transformation is underway? You’re not alone.

In a recent, must-watch discussion led by Captain Kyle and guest Kelly, hosted by Jon Dowling, a sweeping narrative of global change was laid out—one that intertwines the fate of our financial systems, technological revolutions, and a collective spiritual awakening. This wasn’t a conversation of fear, but one of profound hope and necessary preparedness.

For those feeling overwhelmed by the chaos, this dialogue offers a compelling framework to understand the transition and how to navigate it with wisdom and grace.

The speakers were unequivocal: the current financial system, built on the sand of fiat currency and endless debt, is in its final chapter. We are witnessing its controlled demolition. The anticipated collapse of traditional stock markets and currency values isn’t a bug of the system; it’s a feature of its inevitable restructuring.

This dismantling paves the way for what is known as the Quantum Financial System (QFS). This isn’t just a new version of online banking. It’s touted as a fully transparent, decentralized, and blockchain-based framework designed to eliminate corruption, fraud, and the hidden controls of the old guard.

 Central to this transition is the ISO 20022 compliance deadline, a global standard for financial messaging that acts as a key onboarding mechanism for this new economic infrastructure.

So, what replaces the old system? The transition involves a shift to asset-backed currencies, likely in the form of stablecoins tethered to real-world value like gold or other commodities. This provides the stability that crumbling fiat currencies lack.

Perhaps the most groundbreaking aspect discussed is the concept of “dividends” linked to the ownership of a nation’s wealth. This suggests a future where prosperity is not just for a select few but is distributed more equitably among the populace, funded by the vast resources and reclaimed wealth of the nation.

In a refreshing take, the conversation debunks common dystopian fears around Artificial Intelligence. Instead of a Skynet-esque takeover, AI is presented as a tool for liberation—a technology that will handle mundane tasks, manage the new financial system with impeccable accuracy, and free humanity to pursue more creative and spiritual endeavors.

Coupled with advancements in plasma energy technologies, the picture emerges of a world with abundant, free energy, breaking the chains of resource scarcity that have fueled conflict for centuries.

This isn’t just a technological or economic upgrade; it’s a spiritual exam. The speakers repeatedly emphasized that the external chaos is a reflection of an internal battle. With widespread cyber attacks, misinformation (a.k.a. “the narrative”), and social upheaval, discernment is our most critical skill.

The journey requires us to stay spiritually grounded, to connect with our faith, and to see beyond the daily chaos to the bigger picture. Biblical and prophetic perspectives were explored, not to predict a specific date, but to affirm that these cycles of collapse and renewal are part of a larger, divine pattern.

Above all, the overarching message was one of unwavering hope. The current turmoil is not the end; it is the painful but necessary labor preceding a new birth.

We are moving toward a world of restored sovereignty, transparency, and prosperity.

The key is to stay informed, stay grounded, and focus on your spiritual and mental well-being. The old world is crumbling to make way for the new. Our task is to be ready to build it.

Want to dive deeper? Watch the full, enlightening conversation on Jon Dowling’s channel for a more comprehensive look at these powerful insights.

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

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

Miles Franklin Media:  11-18-2025

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

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

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

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

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

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 11-18-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 11-18-25

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps   (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It is Tuesday, November 18th , and you're listening to the big call. Welcome everybody from all around the globe. Whoever's tuned in to us, welcome as we approach Thanksgiving week, next week, with thanksgiving being on the 17th, but we give on Thanksgiving being on the 27th of November, and we give thanks for so much right now

Alright lets talk about where we are on intel – Let’s do it this way --  you know ---- Well, we have heard for the last couple of days, which was yesterday,  and a little bit the day before, which was Tuesday, we had timing for this, saying that we're looking very good for Wednesday. We had three reports for Wednesday, tomorrow for our numbers, we had three others that said Wednesday, Thursday.

I'm thinking, okay, good. You know, Wednesdays. Wednesdays Great. Wednesday, Thursday would be good for notifications, because we probably get started Thursday, all of that's great.

And then ISO, 220 22 raises. Its whatever head, and I'm thinking, Okay, that is supposed to be activated on the 22nd which is Saturday.

I'm thinking, Okay, well, we had heard from one of our sources that we don't have to, we don't have to have ISO 220 22 fully implemented, implemented before this goes.

And then this afternoon, we had Intel coming in that said -- Well, we may have to wait M, a, y, we may have to wait for ISO, 220 22 to take effect on Saturday, and then five minutes before the start of the big call tonight, five minutes before I get an Intel call that is saying it looks as though we're going to get notified after the ISO 220 22 is either Saturday or Sunday, and then begin exchanges on Monday or Tuesday.

I went, Wait a minute. Hold it. Wait a minute. But it was assured to me that President Trump wants this to go before Thanksgiving, which is a week from this Thursday. It's still nine days away, so I'm going, oh gosh, okay, all right, if we have to wait for the ISO 220 22 to be implemented. When? When is it fully implemented? The answer came back to us, Sunday night . So could we get notified tomorrow or Thursday?

Does it slide to Saturday  or Sunday for notifications? Or does it move all the Monday exchanges starting Tuesday.?

You know guys, you know I didn’t want to get that call five minutes before the big call. I didn't want to take it because I didn't know what it was, but sure enough, it's a very strong source. It looks like it might be the case. And yes, we get it before Thanksgiving, for Jeanne's question, yes, before Thanksgiving, but I really thought it was going to be this week.

So that means that it's, it's possible we get it Wed / Thursday, but it's more likely to get we'll get this over the weekend, and, if not, Monday.

So President Trump wants this to go out before Thanksgiving, which is the 27th we may have this on the 25th 24th fourth into the 25th you know, guys, frustrating. I noticed you I'm sorry, but I have to tell you what I'm hearing. All I'm trying to do is let you know, whatever. And you know, I didn't know ISO 220 22 is that important? Because we were told it didn't need to be implemented before we went. Now it looks like maybe it does. Maybe it does.  

So what else is going  on?   The tariff check dividends, it appears, by what I heard Scott Bessent say yesterday to a reporter, you know our Treasury Secretary, it appears that those may need to have congressional approval before those $2000 deposits go out. President Trump wanted them to go out --  but he may be  We've had health court judges try to stop it, and then it resumed, and then it was stopped again yesterday, and then it was really so I don't know where it stands right now. It's Scott Bessent -  I heard him say that he was thinking it probably had to meet congressional approval. So that means it has to go through Congress to get it done. That could take no time, or it could take some time to get that out.

As far as R&R, it's going to be at the redemption centers when we go there. As far as Doge, don't have new word on that, not I'm not up to speed on it right now, so that's something that appears that we're still waiting for.

I think the biggest thing that we're all looking for is 800 numbers to come out, and when they do, we'll put it on the website, big call universe.com, if you have signed up on that site with your email, then we will send you an email with that 800 number when we get it.

So that's basically what I wanted to say. Now we do have we had in the last couple of days, we had rates showing up on redemption center screens. Today, they were not up. The rates were not up on the screens of the redemption centers today.

We believe, but we know this. We know that President Trump had a call with the gentleman who's the head of the Central Bank of Iraq, a lock a L, A K, Iraq, and with President Sudanese, President of Iraq. And he told those two that they could have the green light to let this go after last Sunday night.

So we kind of thought, well, we're looking pretty good for this week.

And that's the last report we got out of Iraq. Was about that. That was on Saturday, when we got that about Sunday. So every once in a while, you'll get a little something that will come in that is additional and useful.

But right now, what we're all concentrating on, I believe, is when are the emails coming out with our 800 number? And then how soon can we set our appointments and go in for our exchanges?

You know, there's cleanup going on. There's ice going on. Big time yesterday in Charlotte, there are there's still quite a bit of cleanup that is taking place, and some of the cleanup, I think that has taken place, are some of these appointed appellate court judges, and I think there's still some more that probably need to go, but in the meantime, we just let's go with what President Trump wants For us, and that is we have established rates already for dinar and Dong, and I know they're trying to get the value of the Venezuelan Bolivar back up again, and that's going to be good for anybody that Has Bolivar

Seems funny, does it with all the friction that's going on with Venezuela right now? But they're in the basket.  As far as I know, I've been told there is no second basket. This is it. First basket. That's it. We've got 31  31 currencies in that basket.

So I know President Trump wants to every Thanksgiving, and he's supposed to make an announcement of some sort on Thanksgiving Day, and hopefully it's made in the morning, and we can all enjoy that and enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner and whatever else you want to do after that   Turkey Sandwich night, always a winner.

I don’t know if there's anything else that's an impression to keywords as getting the numbers.  I think that's what we're all waiting  for.

whole course that is about six hours long, because you would benefit from over and over. It includes four meditation from each night, and those alone are so good. Put you in a frame of mind, direct you to get you to enjoy the information that's coming.

From what I heard tonight, money just too soon is the plan,  right? Let's go ahead and pray the call out  - thanks again. everybody

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

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

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

Safe-haven demand surges as economic risk returns.

Overview

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

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

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

Key Developments

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

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

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

Why It Matters

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

Implications for the Global Reset

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

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

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

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

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

Overview

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

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

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

Key Developments

• The claim is being introduced via a budget amendment.

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

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

Why It Matters

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

Implications for the Global Reset

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

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

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

Ariel : Right Now the Iraqi Dinar is Basically Stuck

Ariel : Right Now the Iraqi Dinar is Basically Stuck

11-19-2025

Iraq Update:

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

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

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

Think of it like this:

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

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

Ariel): Iraqi Dinar Update

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wednesday Coffee with MarkZ 11/19/2025

Wednesday Coffee with MarkZ  11/19/2025

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Gooood morning Mark, mods and fellow RV’ers!

Member: This needs to happen, the holidays are almost here.

Member: Any thoughts on Judy Shelton involvement in the new financial system?

MZ: She has certainly talked about a return to a hybrid gold system…..by this coming July.

Member: I believe we are supposed to have gold backed treasuries by July 4, 2026.

Member: Judy Stelton mentioned three things : drop interest rates to zero or negative, this will reward, honest work and output, issuing some sort of gold back treasury bond starting July 4, 2026

Member: Mark, do you believe we are heading into a critical 3 day window with major banking events occurring over the next 3 days leading up to the 22nd?

Member: Iso 20220 is supposed to implemented worldwide on Nov. 22.

Member: Maybe we waiting on the Nov 22 ISO compliance to go?

Member: so on 22nd November and Basel III coming in…. wonder if the SWIFT as we know it now changes too?

Member: New system….we call it QFS, but in reality it is blockchain…I think the banks are setting up the swift system to then change into quantum?

Member: Aside from the announcement of the asset backed currency and global reset, I wonder what we’re waiting for?

Member: BRICS launches payment system in 185 Countries today !! That was actually on Nov. 17th

MZ: “The National Bank of Iraq (NBI) successfully completes the transition to the New Global Standard SWIFT MX”  They want us to know they have successfully completed the transition to the new global standard which allows blockchain ledger to track all movement. Necessary steps imo.

MZ: This is the new Iso20220 system or model for Iraq and their banks…..lots of good articles today.

MZ: I think I will be wearing that gold shirt soon.

Member: LedgerInsights: Last week Citi and SWIFT announced they completed a technical trial to enable the exchange of digital currency for fiat currency using adaptations to SWIFT’s messaging system. Beyond the technology and behind this payment versus payment (PvP) trial , this announcement signals strategic positioning from both sides. SWIFT is launching it’s own ledger and wants to play a central role in orchestration between legacy systems and and different types of blockchain.

MZ: In other words they are trying to carve out a place where they still matter with the new system…a bridge between the old and the new.

Member: sounds like the new QFS system may be called the new SWIFT MX system using blockchain in the future. Time will tell

Member: MarkZ. Iraq Business News article, CBI to support Dinar stability. Whoa!

MZ: here is the link.. https://www.iraq-businessnews.com/2025/11/19/cbi-to-support-dinar-stability/

MZ: “CBI-to support Dinar Stability” they have issued a statement to clarify the objectives.    To mitigate risks associated with the investment of foreign reserves whilst achieving acceptable returns thereon. To support exchange rate stability through the provision of foreign currencies to meet the requisite requirements for financing balance of payments needs and to facilitate multiple channels for funding banks and financial institutions operating in Iraq.

MZ: “Iraq and Turkey resume negotiations on pipeline agreement”  they have been running under a temporary agreement and now this one is up for renewal in 2026. They are trying to increase output throughout the region.  This is part of HCL moving forward.

MZ: Barzani says they need to finish HCL and make it permanent. I was told for years that with this final agreement we will see the new dinar value.

MZ: “Economist: Fear in the streets about a new exchange rate with the birth of the new government” They are afraid they will reduce or devalue the rate. The only thing acceptable is to increase the purchasing power.

Member: Any bank stories today?

Member: My bank story is that the tellers just smile when I ask if they are excited about the new changes!

MZ: I am hearing some interesting things on movements of assets out of historic trusts. Things like the Dubai, Rodrigues and Euro trusts. They have been taking assets in the trusts and turning them “liquid” for disbursement. This means we should be very close.

MZ: I know a couple of Indian leader contacts who say they are expecting to have all their funds secured by the end of the week. I am hearing very positive stuff.

Member: And the Indian Nations are in tier 3….great news.

MZ: I know of a bond contact who has a final meeting tomorrow. Which means it will happen late tonight while we are in bed. Hopefully we will have news on it by tomorrow morning.

Member: Our world's will be great if this happens soon.....hope to have a great Thanksgiving this year

Member: Maybe we waiting until Christmas …when it’s allegedly easier to open the St. Germaine trusts?

MZ: I have heard no word yet on the St. Germaine trust.

Member: Each day we're closer to the finish line... which is really just the beginning …..Woop Woop
