Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 4-28-26 

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps   (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. it is Tuesday, April 28th  and you're listening to the big call.  Thanks for tuning in. I think we have a lot to share tonight on the big call. we're really looking forward to it, all of us. us, and each one will share in their own segment and I'm excited about that.

All right. Thank you, Bob, and now let's get into our intel -  boy -  Let's see if I can construct this like I usually do with the idea of a timeline.   I will start though with something that we got today from a major contact of ours in Iraq, an Iraqi, and he said that the new prime minister has been appointed today.

Now it's not Sudani  --So the new prime minister has been appointed today, and I believe that will be made known in the next couple of days.

That's a good thing. I have a feeling this is somebody that President Trump has either wanted or let them know that. Yeah, this is the guy that we want.

So that's good new prime minister for Iraq as of today, whether we already have a new president up in Kurdistan.

So that's good. So they're all set on that – I’m hearing  no parliament, just a council for Iraq's all we're going to go with from now on, and we'll see how that all goes. That's good. We got that,

And then we heard today from  -- this is pretty important from one of our bond pay masters that our bond holders are to receive an email on Thursday afternoon telling them how much they have in their account from their bonds that they've already ponied up,  some of them years ago, months ago, some more recently, so they have so much money in these accounts that the bondholders will be able to see and in that email that's coming out Thursday afternoon, they should also see when those bond holders will be able to access those funds.

Now, if they get that Thursday afternoon, this is my opinion,  they will probably get  access to it on the first of May, which is Friday.

All right, so let's see what else we can take from that. There's  another piece that's not exactly related, but this is supposed to happen at 2pm Wednesday, which is tomorrow, 2pm Wednesday, and that is, we're supposed to get a cut in interest rates from Jerome Powell  as his last ditch attempt at the Federal Reserve. 

A little too little too late by President Trump calls that should be aware of tomorrow afternoon, to occur  two o'clock Eastern. So we'll see

We already have a new Fed Chairman that's going to replace Powell I believe it's around the fourth of May somewhere in that but it should be in May, all right, so that set that aside.

Let's go back to the other information that's talking about us. We believe that we are to receive our  800 numbers, our emails at this point, most likely Thursday.

And I'm going to say it this way, We know that redemption. center leaders, some of whom are going in at 830 in the morning to the redemption centers on Thursday, we know, some might be going in at 9:30 Thursday morning -  

Why the difference? Why not everybody at 830.

Because I believe, my opinion, again, that some of the  demographics for those redemption centers vary, and there might not be the urgency or the need to go in as early in some markets. So that's something we can be looking for

Now -  Why do I think? I think that's why, one reason why we should get notifications on Thursday the 30th, and then, based on that, we should be able to exchange most likely possible Thursday, but my gut is most likely Friday, the first of May.

Why do I say that? You guys know how I get squirrely every time we get toward the end of the month, wondering whether it's going to be this month or are they going to move it to May? Well, I believe we're going to get notified the last day of April, April 30, that's Thursday. Believe that, based on the information we have, and then we're going to exchange starting Friday the 1st

I think that's very possible, that that's how the thing's going to come together.

So if you know anyone who has a birthday either the last day of April or May 1, I think that's calling them a winner. That's what it looks like. That is where it appears.

Now we're looking to have tomorrow also seven currencies to be up on the screens at redemption centers, seven of maybe 40 or 42  -  so they're moving up with those

Also Wednesday tomorrow,  supposed to have the dinar, and I think many of the other currencies on the Forex, FX Forex, now  it's possible that we would get notified  tomorrow, but my gut is Thursday  - based on redemption center leaders going in,

Why do they need to go in? Why does the staff need to go in Thursday? Because when we get the 800 number to call the call centers and get routed to the redemption center indicated by our zip code we have keyed in, ostensibly, we keyed that in.

That is a direct link that goes to that redemption center to a live human being, because we think that the call centers initially will be AI that answers your 800 call, and when you go far enough in receiving that information or putting in the information that is required, they'll get transferred to that redemption center directly.

And I think you can do it by staying online and not having to call another number entering to that redemption center, and you'll still speak a couple of minutes with a Iive human being to get your time and day of your  appointment confirmed, and probably get directions at that time, theoretically texted to you or sent to your email. I'm not quite sure how that's going to work.

But we need to know obviously to get there to make your appointment for 10 minutes early, no more than 10 minutes early for your appointment, and you've got approximately 35 to 40 minutes to do everything that needs to be done before they kick you out the door and you go take your Q phone and your perk list and maybe a certificate for a computer to be purchased later at Best Buy. And then you'll be smiling ear to ear as you leave the redemption center and go on your merry way.

That’s a lot to get done in 35 – 40 mins  they can count the currency pretty fast, but the delarue machine, or they have two of those going if you've got a bundle that you bring in, but you know, we have set up your quantum Account,  Quantum card  issued to you so you can move funds from your quantum accounts to your Wells Fargo bank account, what I call the master account, or the primary bank account,

and then you'll probably end up having to go back later  to set up any secondary bank accounts with Wells. I doubt we'll have those - have time to set those up and then, and then you'll be able to add other banks accounts that you have or want to open to your quantum account.

You should be able to do that on your own -  we'll see how that works. We'll see.

But you're supposed to be able to have up to three different banks. May need more. I'm hearing three different banks attached to your  quantum card. So you can move funds to this account with Wells, remove funds to that account with Chase, or move funds to that account with the truest bank or whatever, whatever you want to do

Remember your bank, your banks themselves, bank personnel -  are not supposed to see your balances anymore. They're not supposed to see what you have. They're not going to see your quantum account.

Now, when you open it at the redemption center, somebody's there. I'm not sure they might see it, but they're going to see everybody's so, you know, that's the way it is. You have to get started at the redemption center – and then you are on your own  to move funds up by your qphone or move on or by your computer all of that.

So the idea is you should be able to move as many funds -  anything you'll need for your projects and your life for the first six months. Possibly, let's call it 60 days to 90 days two to three months

So have that number that you plan to move to your master account, so called primary Wells Fargo bank account from your quantum Remember, your quantum card is not a charge card, it's not a credit card. It's only  an access card, it gets you access to the quantum account. It's tied into the Treasury  -- And then you move funds as you need it into your primary / secondary  bank accounts down the road.

So you're going to get a Wells Fargo account. You're going to get a Wells Fargo debit credit card so that you can use it, as far as I know, on day one. Now, if we exchange, yeah, if we exchange on Thursday, it might be Friday before we get access to our funds. I don't know if we exchange on Friday, the 1st  you'll have access on the 1st  .

I don't think we're going to exchange and not get immediate access. And I think the bondholders are going to get access to their funds because they're not going to get notified until after afternoon, after two o'clock on Thursday.

So whenever they see their account, they can't get access to it until they're told and which, which my projection is, they'll get access to it on Friday the 1st  just like we would. Hence a true  shotgun start. They go and we go –

Tier three is the bond holders. We're tier 4b  and so we're going to be gone, theoretically at the same time, I think what they want to do to keep it fair, and then we're off to the races after that.

Let's see. Is there anything else? Intel wise ? I think that is everything relevant to what we have right now, obviously we're very happy the attempt on President Trump and whomever else was in the ballroom Saturday night for the Correspondence Dinner did not come through. He was stopped for it to get to the doors, which were closed, and probably locked to the ballroom itself  but  they're going to be searching that out, and I'm sure when that correspondence, dinner is rescheduled, within 30 days of that Saturday, according to what President wants, I believe the security will be incredibly increased, perimeter wise, and everything else. And we hope that's the case. Surely. We surely think there are some things in this case it could have been done better.

Now -- I don't know that there's anything else that is now that I can think of. I know I got the most important things out to you. I might have a couple of more things that I can't remember right now, but I think the gist of it is that we are still on looking good for this.

Okay, remember when Jeannie  said something Jubilee debt relief or understanding that that will occur for us in the first few days of med and that our  Tariff checks would be out in a would be out very, very soon.

Now I'm going to take those tariff dividend checks and say maybe that's also talking about our direct deposits on the tariff visits, not just physical checks and sale mail, but our direct deposits to our bank accounts and and, you know, we look at messages that come from certain  sources, and we try to decode see whether there's anything there that might be something we can use is the term very, very soon.

Does that mean two varies equals two days? I don't know. That's a guess, maybe. But very, very soon is good. And the Denton leaf, which is part of NESARA, is supposed to start in the first few days of May, so we'll see what that looks like.

You know, I know that that certainly the tariff didn't have heard of it, and we're looking to get the EBS EIS cranked out probably the day that we start going for our exchanges at the redemption centers, more than likely, but I know military is in place now.

A lot of military is in place for the redemption center, probably also banks for us, for NESARA and agents.

The military is there for security for us.

Boy, and we should have, when we get those 800 we'll  put it up on the front page of Big call universe.com. And then we'll also be sending out to anybody that registered when they come in.

You should be getting from Wells. From Wells isn't going to have everybody's email. Some of you guys have new emails. Some of you have changed your email since it was, you know, since they have it, We're here to kind of pick up the pieces on that. And then we have it posted on our website. We'll make sure it's the real McCoy before we do.

Everybody have a blessed night tonight, look forward to talking to you Thursday.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Wednesday Afternoon 4-29-26

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Blockade Strategy Expands: Trump Signals Prolonged Pressure on Iran as Markets React

Extended U.S. blockade plans intensify economic strain on Iran while raising global energy and financial system risks

 OVERVIEW (KEY POINTS)

U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing to extend the blockade on Iran’s ports, signaling a shift toward sustained economic pressure rather than immediate military escalation.

This is happening now as negotiations remain stalled, with Iran refusing to meet U.S. demands on immediate nuclear concessions, while attempting to manage the conflict through alternative trade routes.

Key players include the United States, Iran, European economies responding to rising energy costs, and global markets adjusting to prolonged disruption in oil flows.

The broader implication is clear: a sustained blockade strategy is amplifying inflation, currency instability, and global trade disruptions, increasing systemic financial risk.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

1. U.S. Plans Extended Blockade Strategy

A long-term pressure approach is taking shape.

• Blockade viewed as lower-risk alternative to military escalation

• Aims to force Iran into favorable negotiation terms

2. Iran’s Currency Collapse Accelerates

Economic strain inside Iran is intensifying.

• Rial weakened to 1,810,000 per dollar

• Nearly 15% decline in just two days

3. Inflation Surges to Extreme Levels

Domestic conditions deteriorate rapidly.

• Inflation reached 65.8% in a single month period

• Rising costs expected to further destabilize the economy

4. Strait of Hormuz Disruptions Continue

Global energy flows remain constrained.

• Iran restricting shipping through a key route for global oil supply

• U.S. blockade compounding trade and logistics disruptions

5. Oil Prices Rise Amid Supply Concerns

Markets respond to prolonged uncertainty.

• Oil prices increased nearly 3% on continued conflict

• Risk of extended supply shortages priced into markets

  WHY IT MATTERS

This development highlights how economic warfare strategies can have global financial consequences, particularly when energy supply chains are involved.

The combination of restricted oil flows and rising prices is feeding into inflation across multiple economies, increasing pressure on consumers and businesses.

For policymakers, prolonged disruption complicates decisions around interest rates, energy policy, and economic stability.

At the system level, this reinforces a critical shift: geopolitical conflict is directly influencing currency values, inflation, and global financial conditions.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

• Energy-importing currencies face increased pressure

• Purchasing power declines as inflation rises globally

• Safe-haven currencies may strengthen during instability

• Exchange rate volatility increases across regions

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

• Pillar 1: Economic Warfare Reshaping Global Systems

Extended blockades demonstrate how financial and trade restrictions can be used as strategic tools, impacting global economic structures.

• Pillar 2: Currency Instability and Realignment

Severe currency devaluation highlights vulnerabilities that could lead to broader shifts in reserve strategies and trade settlements.

 CONCLUSION

The move toward a prolonged blockade represents a significant escalation in economic pressure, with consequences extending far beyond the immediate conflict.

As Iran’s economy weakens and global energy markets remain unstable, the ripple effects are being felt across currencies, inflation, and trade systems.

This is not just a regional conflict—it is a systemic stress event influencing global financial stability.

When economic pressure targets energy and currency simultaneously, the global financial system absorbs the impact.

Fnu LnuThe up-to-the-minute status...of the IQD is much improved and this status report brings us up to the current date in April, 2026. It looks as if all restrictions on holding, owning, and trading the IQD have been lifted. One would assume there is no obstacle remaining for a revaluation.So what's the deal? The only impediment is the human factor IE:  The IMF

Frank26    [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   OMAR:  Zaidi is the candidate for the prime minister picked by the Coordinated Framework.  Turns out he is a compromise...USA seem to be ok because he doesn't have any direct ties to Iran... Everybody can tolerate didn't actually everybody love.  He has 30 days to pick his cabinet...and only then the parliament vote on the whole team as a package...  FRANK:  Next thing is your government will be formed.  Everything else should follow in place after those 30 days which leads to a new exchange rate...

Reset Intelligence  al-Zaidi prime-minister-designate of Iraq...chairs Al-Janoob Islamic Bank for Investment and Finance.  The same bank the Central Bank of Iraq pulled from the daily dollar auction February 4 2024...Reason cited: dollar smuggling to Iran. Why this name? Why is the IRGC commander shaping the Iraqi PM pick in person, this week, after years of doing it by phone?  Because the dinar auction is the last clean USD rail Tehran has, and it runs through al-Zaidi's bank.  The regime needs it open through the cabinet vote.  Tehran is putting their bank chair in the PM office and praying for one more month. The phone in Baghdad is ringing. Trump holds the veto. Treasury holds the trigger. Tehran is out of moves.

More “Iraq News” Posted by Tishwash at TNT 4-29-2026

TNT:

Tishwash:  Washington announces its solidarity with Iraq and supports al-Zaidi's efforts to form a government.

The United States Mission in Iraq expressed its best wishes to Prime Minister-designate Ali al-Zaidi in his mission to form a government capable of meeting the aspirations of the Iraqi people and achieving a brighter and more peaceful future.

 In a statement, the mission affirmed Washington’s solidarity with the Iraqi people in their pursuit of common goals, foremost among them preserving the country’s sovereignty, enhancing security to eliminate terrorism, and building a prosperous economy that brings tangible benefits to both the Iraqi and American sides.

The Coordination Framework announced in a statement the selection of Ali al-Zidi as the official candidate of the Coordination Framework bloc, being the largest bloc in the House of Representatives, to assume the position of Prime Minister and form the next Iraqi government.

 This came during a crucial meeting held by the leaders of the framework at the Government Palace in Baghdad on Monday, where the name of Al-Zaydi was agreed upon after studying the list of candidates and choosing the person whose specifications match the requirements of the current stage and its challenges.  link

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

Tishwash:  Al-Jubouri: The government will be formed within two weeks, less than the constitutional deadlines.

Fahd Al-Jubouri, a leader in the National Wisdom Movement, predicted that the government would be formed within two weeks, in less time than the constitutional deadline, according to political agreements.

Al-Jubouri said, during his appearance on the “On the Ruler” program on Al-Furat satellite channel, that “things are moving towards accelerating the formation of the government within a period not exceeding two weeks, based on understandings between the political forces,” indicating that “Prime Minister-designate Ali Al-Zidi will return to the coordination framework regarding the formation of the ministerial cabinet and some files, as he is the supporting and sponsoring party.”

He added that "the coordination framework will hold a meeting tomorrow in the presence of the Prime Minister-designate to discuss the ministerial formation," noting that "Al-Zidi is assigned a service-oriented task and refuses to engage in any discussion related to his financial dealings with the state."

He explained that "the new government will face major challenges, foremost among them the economic situation and foreign relations, especially with neighboring countries," noting that "the Wisdom Movement announced its support for Al-Zaidi and its backing for him in this matter."

Al-Jubouri added that "the United States is awaiting the outcomes of the new Iraqi government and will base its position on them," stressing "the need for the next government to have plans to address regional challenges, including the repercussions of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and its impact on Iraqi oil exports."

He pointed out that "the coordination framework hopes for the success of Al-Zaidi's government, and at the same time will monitor its performance," noting that "the framework stipulated that Al-Zaidi not participate in the elections or form a political party, and he expressed his unwillingness to go in this direction."

Al-Jubouri concluded by saying, "The framework formed two committees, one of which is concerned with discussing the ministerial formation, and it has made significant progress in its work."  link

Tishwash:  Financial Inclusion Week kicks off in Halabja

The city of Halabja witnessed the launch of the activities of the Financial Inclusion Week for the year 2026, under the sponsorship and supervision of the Central Bank of Iraq, and organized by the “Our Awareness” Organization for Electronic Payment Culture and the “We Reach You” Financial Inclusion Initiative, under the slogan “Financial Health: The Path of Individuals Towards Sustainable and More Stable Financial Inclusion,” in a step that reflects the growing interest in promoting financial culture and expanding the scope of modern banking services in various Iraqi governorates, in line with the state’s directions towards building a more efficient and sustainable digital economy.

The events were held with broad participation from financial, banking and non-banking institutions, in a scene that reflects the extent of coordination and integration between the parties concerned with consolidating the concepts of financial inclusion and supporting the transition towards the digital economy, in line with the directions of the government and the Central Bank of Iraq aimed at reducing reliance on paper money and promoting the use of modern electronic payment methods, and in a way that contributes to raising the efficiency of financial transactions and achieving higher levels of transparency and economic stability, as well as facilitating citizens’ access to official financial services in a safe and fast manner.

National Initiative

Financial Inclusion Week opened with an official conference attended by the Governor of Halabja, Ms. Noukhsha Naseh Ahmed, who affirmed in her address the local government's full support for this national initiative. She noted that choosing Halabja as the launch location carries significant implications, reflecting its role in supporting development projects and impactful community initiatives. She explained that financial inclusion is a fundamental tool for empowering citizens to access safer and more reliable financial services, in addition to its role in strengthening trust in financial and banking institutions and supporting the gradual transition to modern digital systems.

Sound resource management

She added that expanding financial inclusion is not limited to providing banking services only, but also includes building a new community culture based on financial awareness and sound resource management, which helps families and individuals to plan financially better, enhances opportunities for saving and investment, and reduces the risks associated with traditional cash transactions, which positively impacts social and economic stability in the province and in Iraq in general.

A development message

For his part, Mr. Nabil Al-Najjar, head of the “Our Awareness” organization for the culture of electronic payment, stressed that launching the activities from Halabja carries an important humanitarian and developmental message, which is that modern financial services should be available to all citizens without exception, and in the various Iraqi governorates. 

He pointed out that this initiative actively contributes to establishing a culture of electronic payment within Iraqi society, and expanding opportunities for access to financial services, which enhances the role of small and medium enterprises and supports sustainable economic development paths, especially in areas that need more developmental and service support.

Modern financial services

Ghazi Al-Kinani, advisor to the Global Smart Card Company, confirmed that electronic payment companies and governmental and private banks, in cooperation with the Central Bank of Iraq, are making great efforts to promote a culture of banking and increase citizens’ interaction with modern financial products and services more than they are now, in a way that contributes to consolidating trust between financial institutions and citizens.

Citizen's needs 

Al-Kinani explained that banking awareness among citizens has witnessed remarkable development in recent years, as citizens have become more aware of the importance of banking services and more informed about all new financial products that suit their daily needs and the requirements of their working lives, which reflects the success of the awareness and regulatory efforts made in this field.

He added that the Financial Inclusion Week represents an important opportunity to bring the service provider closer to the citizen directly, through field communication and introducing the available services and mechanisms for benefiting from them, stressing that this continuous banking movement will achieve positive results that serve all parties and contribute to supporting the national economy and enhancing financial stability.  link

Tishwash:  The Iraqi ambassador to Washington discusses regional developments and government formation with the chairman of the House Subcommittee on the Middle East.

Nizar Al-Khairallah, the Ambassador of the Republic of Iraq to the United States, met with Mike Lawler, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Foreign Affairs of the U.S. House of Representatives concerned with the Middle East and North Africa.

Peace Talks Stall: Trump Rejects Iran Proposal as Energy Disruptions Intensify

Breakdown in negotiations deepens conflict risks, driving oil volatility and increasing pressure on the global financial system

 OVERVIEW (KEY POINTS)

U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s latest peace proposal, signaling a widening gap between both sides as the conflict enters a more entrenched phase.

This is happening now because Iran is pushing a phased negotiation strategy, delaying nuclear discussions, while the U.S. insists on addressing core nuclear issues upfront, creating a fundamental disagreement.

Key players include the United States, Iran, Pakistan as mediator, and broader alliances such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, reflecting the expanding geopolitical scope of the conflict.

The broader implication is clear: continued stalemate is prolonging energy disruptions, fueling inflation, and increasing systemic financial stress globally.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

1. U.S. Rejects Iran’s Phased Peace Proposal

Negotiations face a critical setback.

• Iran proposed delaying nuclear talks until after conflict resolution

• U.S. demands immediate inclusion of nuclear restrictions

2. Strait of Hormuz Disruptions Intensify

Energy supply remains heavily constrained.

• Daily traffic dropped from 125–140 ships to minimal flows

• Oil shipments significantly reduced, tightening global supply

3. Oil Prices Rise on Prolonged Conflict

Markets react to continued instability.

• Oil prices increased nearly 3% amid ongoing disruptions

• Traders pricing in longer-term supply risk

4. Iran Expands Strategic Alliances

Regional alignment is shifting.

• Iran signaling deeper cooperation within the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation

• Potential expansion of defense and economic partnerships

5. Diplomatic Channels Weaken

Efforts to mediate are losing momentum.

• U.S. canceled planned diplomatic outreach to Pakistan

• Reduced engagement increases risk of prolonged stalemate

WHY IT MATTERS

This development highlights how failed diplomacy can directly impact global markets, especially when tied to critical energy infrastructure.

Energy disruptions are feeding into broader economic pressures, increasing inflation, supply chain instability, and market volatility.

For policymakers, the challenge is intensifying. Prolonged conflict limits options while increasing the risk of policy misalignment and economic slowdown.

At the system level, this reinforces a growing trend: geopolitical conflict is now a primary driver of financial system stress.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

• Energy-importing currencies face downward pressure

• Purchasing power declines due to rising inflation

• Safe-haven currencies may strengthen during uncertainty

• Exchange rate volatility increases across markets

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

• Pillar 1: Energy Disruption as a Systemic Trigger

Sustained constraints in oil flow highlight how energy supply shocks can destabilize global financial systems, accelerating structural shifts.

• Pillar 2: Fragmentation of Global Alliances

Shifting partnerships signal movement toward a more divided and multipolar geopolitical and financial landscape.

CONCLUSION

The rejection of Iran’s proposal marks a critical escalation point, reinforcing the likelihood of prolonged conflict and continued market disruption.

As negotiations stall, the impact is extending beyond geopolitics into energy markets, inflation, and financial stability.

This is not just a diplomatic breakdown—it is a systemic pressure point with global consequences.

When diplomacy fails at critical energy chokepoints, the global financial system absorbs the shock.

 A Message to Our Currency Holders

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.

You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

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

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

That is not your failure.

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

Instead, we focus on:

• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence

• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

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

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

Protect your identity. Organize your documents.    Verify everything.

Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

Iraq Economic News And Points To Ponder Wednesday Morning 4-29-26

Oil Dips On UAE OPEC Exit, Hormuz Blockade Props Prices

2026-04-29 Shafaq News   Oil prices eased on Wednesday from a multi-day rally as ‌investors digested the ramifications of the United Arab Emirates' surprise decision to quit OPEC, though supply disruptions from the stalemated Iran war support the market.

Brent crude futures for June dipped 1 cent to $111.25 a barrel by 0413 GMT, having climbed for the previous seven sessions. The June contract expires on Thursday and the more active July contract down 28 cents at $104.12.

Wednesday's slight decrease could be partly linked to the UAE's surprising decision to leave ⁠producer cartel OPEC, said LSEG senior analyst Anh Pham, as it points to a stronger supply outlook when the country is free of the group’s output quotas.

"However, this effect is not immediate, as the incremental barrels may not be deliverable in the near term due to the ongoing Hormuz blockade," he added.

"So while prices are down slightly, this appears to be more of a correction from earlier gains, with Brent still holding at elevated levels around $110 per barrel."

U.S. President Donald Trump has told aides to prepare for an extended blockade of Iran, the Wall Street Journal said on Tuesday, citing U.S. officials.

Trump is opting to keep squeezing Iran's economy and oil exports by blocking shipping traffic with its ports, ‌it ⁠added.

Despite a ceasefire in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, the conflict is deadlocked as both sides seek a formal end to the fighting.

Iran has shut the Strait of Hormuz, a conduit for about 20% of global oil and LNG supplies, and the United States blockaded Iranian ports.

"The recent rise in oil prices has been driven by the Strait blockade," said Yang An, an analyst at ⁠Haitong Futures. "If Trump is prepared to extend the blockade, supply disruptions would worsen further and continue to push oil prices higher."

The U.S. is pressing Iran to end what it says is a nuclear weapons programme, while Iran wants some form of reparations for the latest ⁠round of fighting, an easing of economic sanctions and some form of control over the Strait of Hormuz.

The Hormuz shutdown is prompting pulls from global inventories, with market sources saying late on Tuesday the American Petroleum Institute reported U.S. ⁠crude oil inventories fell for a second week.

Crude stocks fell by 1.79 million barrels in the week ended April 24, the sources said. Gasoline inventories fell by 8.47 million barrels, while distillate inventories fell by 2.60 million barrels. (Reuters)

Basrah Crudes Outpace Regional Benchmarks Despite Decline

2026-04-29 Shafaq News- Basrah   Iraq’s Basrah crude prices edged lower by 0.12% on Wednesday, outperforming several regional benchmarks.   Basrah Heavy crude fell by 15 cents to $120.93 per barrel, while Basrah Medium crude declined by the same margin to $123.30.

In contrast, Saudi Light stood at $120.30 per barrel, Kuwait crude at $103.79, the UAE’s Murban at $106.70, and Qatar’s Al-Shaheen at $107.

Globally, Brent crude rose $3.08, or 2.8%, to $114.34 per barrel. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) gained $2.75, or 2.8%, to $102.68.

Iraq prices its crude based on export destinations, with shipments to Asia linked to the Dubai and Oman benchmarks, exports to Europe tied to Brent with premiums or discounts, and cargoes to the United States priced against WTI in line with market conditions. https://www.shafaq.com/en/Economy/Basrah-crudes-outpace-regional-benchmarks-despite-decline

Iran’s Khuzestan Exports $61M To Iraq In One Month

2026-04-29 Shafaq News- Tehran/ Baghdad   Iran’s Khuzestan province exported 221,000 tons of goods to Iraq worth $60.8 million in the first month of the current Iranian year, Iranian media reported on Wednesday.

According to Iranian outlets, local official Behrouz Qarabiji said imports during the same period totaled 874,000 tons valued at $360 million, while customs revenue rose 409% year-on-year to around $51 million. Customs and transit activity also increased, with 30 clearance declarations covering 2,438 tons and 279 transit filings totaling 36,200 tons.

UAE Exit From OPEC And OPEC+ Sparks Mixed Outlook For Oil Markets

2026-04-29 Shafaq News- Baghdad    The United Arab Emirates’ decision to withdraw from OPEC and the OPEC+ alliance has drawn mixed reactions among specialists, amid close monitoring of global markets for producer compliance with output policies and the impact of geopolitical developments on supply and demand.

Oil expert Dirgham Mohammed Ali told Shafaq News that the UAE’s exit could lead to increased production outside the quota system, raising the risk of a significant supply surplus.

He warned that any unregulated rise in output would put strong downward pressure on prices, potentially leading to sharp declines or even a market collapse, particularly if other OPEC+ members show weak adherence to agreed production limits.

Ali explained that the oil market relies on a balance between supply and demand, noting that any disruption by a major producer such as the UAE would have immediate effects. “Iraq could be among the most affected countries, as more than 90% of its budget depends on oil revenues,” the expert noted.

Economic expert Mohammed Al-Hassani downplayed the potential impact, suggesting that the UAE’s withdrawal would not necessarily trigger a sharp price drop.

In remarks to Shafaq News, he said the market is influenced by multiple factors, including global demand, geopolitical tensions, and the ability of major producers, particularly Saudi Arabia, to stabilize supply through production adjustments.

“The UAE may continue informal coordination with other producers, which could limit market disruptions,” he explained, clarifying, “While any price decline would affect Iraq, it is unlikely to result in a severe collapse.”

Energy Shock Wave: Surging Oil and Debt Risks Signal Global Financial Strain

Rising energy prices, inflation pressure, and mounting debt concerns are converging into a potential systemic turning point

 OVERVIEW (KEY POINTS)

Global markets are entering a period of heightened stress as energy prices surge sharply due to ongoing Middle East conflict, triggering ripple effects across inflation, debt markets, and economic growth.

This is happening now because disruptions in key supply routes, particularly the Strait of Hormuz, are constraining global oil flows while geopolitical tensions remain unresolved.

Key players include central banks, major economies, and global financial institutions now facing a difficult environment of rising costs, slowing growth, and elevated debt levels.

The broader implication is clear: multiple systemic pressures are converging at once, increasing the probability of structural financial adjustments.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

1. Energy Prices Surge on Supply Disruptions

Oil markets are tightening rapidly.

• Energy prices projected to rise up to 24% in 2026

• Oil trading near $110 per barrel with upside risk

2. Inflation Pressures Reignite Globally

Energy costs are feeding into broader price levels.

• Inflation forecasts rising across major economies

• Developing nations expected to face 5%+ inflation levels

3. Central Banks Enter Policy Dilemma

Monetary policy is becoming more complex.

• Institutions holding rates steady despite rising inflation

• Balancing growth slowdown vs. inflation control

4. Debt Risks Escalate Across Markets

Financial system vulnerabilities are increasing.

• Warnings of potential global bond market stress

• Rising borrowing costs threaten government and corporate balance sheets

5. Corporate and Consumer Strain Expands

Real economy impacts are becoming visible.

• Companies facing higher input and logistics costs

• Increased risk of price hikes and reduced demand

 WHY IT MATTERS

This development highlights a critical convergence: energy shocks, inflation, and debt pressures are reinforcing each other, amplifying systemic risk.

Markets are becoming increasingly sensitive to geopolitical events, with volatility spreading across commodities, bonds, and currencies.

For policymakers, the challenge is acute. Traditional tools are less effective when inflation is driven by supply-side shocks rather than demand.

At the system level, this reflects a transition phase where multiple stress points are testing the resilience of the global financial framework.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

• Energy-importing currencies face downward pressure

• Purchasing power declines as inflation rises

• Safe-haven currencies may strengthen during instability

• Exchange rate volatility increases across regions

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

Pillar 1: Energy-Driven Financial Realignment

Sustained energy shocks are forcing economies to rethink supply chains, pricing, and trade dependencies, reshaping global economic relationships.

Pillar 2: Debt and Liquidity Stress نقطة

Rising debt burdens combined with higher rates increase the likelihood of financial restructuring or market corrections, impacting the broader system.

 CONCLUSION

The current environment represents more than isolated disruptions. It is a convergence of energy, inflation, and debt pressures that is testing the global financial system.

As these forces build simultaneously, the margin for policy error narrows, increasing the risk of instability.

This is not just a cyclical challenge—it reflects deeper structural strain.

When energy shocks collide with debt and inflation, the foundation of the global financial system begins to shift.

The Coordination Framework Is Discussing The Formation Of The Government And Affirms Its Support For The Powers Of The Prime Minister-Designate, Ali Al-Zidi

Baghdad – One News  4/28/2026  The Coordination Framework held a meeting to discuss the formation of the new government, where mechanisms for resolving political entitlements and forming the cabinet were discussed in a way that contributes to building a strong government capable of facing challenges. 

The participants stressed the need to grant Prime Minister-designate Ali al-Zidi full authority to choose members of the ministerial team, in order to ensure harmony within the government and enhance its effectiveness in implementing its program.

The coordination framework stressed the importance of adopting standards of integrity, competence and national responsibility in selecting ministers, in addition to prioritizing the public interest and strengthening the principle of political partnership between different forces.

He also pointed out that the harmony of the next government team is a crucial factor in overcoming crises and achieving the aspirations of the Iraqi people at various levels. https://1news-iq.net/الإطار-التنسيقي-يبحث-تشكيل-الحكومة-وي/

Al-Hurra Website Quotes A Leader In The Coordination Committee: The Selection Of Ali Al-Zidi Surprised The Committee's Representatives, And There Is No American Objection To His Appointment

Baghdad – One News     4/28/2026  Al-Hurra website quoted a member of the coordinating framework as saying that the selection of Ali al-Zidi to form the government came as a surprise to most of the coalition’s deputies, as his name had not been clearly put forward during previous meetings.

He pointed out that the messages that reached the leaders of the framework indicate that Washington does not object to assigning al-Zaidi, in an indication of international acceptance of his personality compared to other options.

 He added that if he succeeds in forming a government within the constitutional deadline of 30 days, he will become the youngest prime minister in the history of Iraq. https://1news-iq.net/موقع-الحرة-عن-قيادي-بالتنسيقي-اختيار-ع/

Monte Carlo: Ali Al-Zaidi, Tasked With Forming The New Iraqi Government, Received A Green Light From Both Iran And The United States

Baghdad – One News    4/28/2026  Monte Carlo International Radio reported that the announcement by the Coordination Framework nominating Ali al-Zaidi for the presidency of the new Iraqi government came after a series of intensive consultations between prominent leaders within the coalition. 

The radio station explained that the head of the Popular Mobilization Forces, Faleh al-Fayyad, held two separate meetings with both the leader of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri al-Maliki, and the outgoing Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, as part of efforts to resolve the issue of the premiership. 

She added that assessments within some parties within the framework indicate that al-Zaydi received a “green light” from both Iran and the United States, which helped facilitate agreement on his nomination after a period of disagreements within the coalition. https://1news-iq.net/مونت-كارلو-المكلف-بتشكيل-الحكومة-العر/

A leader in the Sudanese coalition: Ali al-Zaidi's appointment depends on overcoming the American veto.

2026-04-28 Shafaq News – Baghdad   A leader in the “Reconstruction and Development” coalition, headed by outgoing Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, said on Tuesday that assigning Ali al-Zidi to form the new government could represent a “rising political phenomenon” or a “major setback,” considering that the matter depends on his ability to overcome the American “veto” peacefully.

Qusay Mahbouba said in a statement regarding Al-Zidi's assignment to form the new government by the Coordination Framework, "Ali Al-Zidi will either be a bridge for others, or they will become a bridge for him."

He added that al-Zaidi "could be a rising political phenomenon, or he could be a major setback," noting that his success depends on his ability to safely cross the American veto.

He continued: "We don't know the man yet, neither his ideas nor his capabilities nor the features of his political personality," indicating that the question is whether he will be a bridge to a larger project, or will turn everyone into a bridge to his project "if he has a project at all."

Mahbouba considered that the Shiite coordination framework “has exhausted its political and moral presence in the Iraqi arena,” and is no longer able to shape the future of Iraq or monopolize Shiite decision-making, adding that the framework “has practically ended politically and morally.”

He pointed out that this "could be a good thing," because the end of the political monopoly opens the door to the birth of new equations, and perhaps to a different Iraqi opportunity.

The ruling Shiite coalition forces in Iraq announced on Monday evening the nomination of al-Zaidi for the premiership, following the withdrawal of outgoing Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, leader of the State of Law Coalition, from the race for the position.

 Iraq’s Dominant Bloc Taps Newcomer Ali Al-Zaidi For Prime Minister After Weeks Of Wrangling

By  QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA  Updated 10:30 PM CEST, April 27, 2026  BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s dominant parliamentary bloc on Monday nominated Ali al-Zaidi, a businessman and political newcomer, to be the country’s prime minister.

 The announcement by the Coordination Framework, a coalition of Shiite parties allied with Iran, followed a meeting at the government palace. It came after weeks of internal debate among its member parties aimed at selecting a compromise candidate to lead the next government.

President Nizar Amidi then tasked al-Zaidi with forming a government. Even with the backing of the dominant bloc, the new government is not assured of receiving the required number of votes.

 The coalition had previously said it would back former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who the U.S. administration views as too close to Iran. U.S. President Donald Trump publicly announced his opposition to al-Maliki and threatened to cut off aid to Iraq if he was appointed.

 While al-Maliki remained defiant after Trump’s intervention, the bloc decided to shift to a compromise candidate.

 In a statement announcing al-Zaidi’s nomination, the Coordination Framework thanked al-Maliki and incumbent Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani for their “historic and responsible positions” in withdrawing their candidacies to help overcome the political deadlock. Al-Sudani issued a statement congratulating al-Zaidi.

 Al-Zaidi, who is chairman of Al-Janoob Islamic Bank, emerged in the final stages of discussions as one of the leading candidates, bolstered by his economic background and business and investment connections. He has not previously held political office.

 Following his nomination, al-Zaidi promised to focus on making Iraq “a balanced country, regionally and internationally.”

 “This appointment comes at a sensitive time that requires concerted efforts from all political and social forces,” he said.

Under the constitution, the designated prime minister has 30 days to present a Cabinet lineup to the parliament, which requires 167 votes to secure a vote of confidence.

 The next government will have to deal with the political and economic fallout of the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, which spilled over into Iraq while the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted the oil exports on which Iraq’s economy depends.

 The new government will also face challenges in dealing with the issues of corruption, uncontrolled weapons outside state authority, and the future of the Popular Mobilization Forces, a coalition of Shiite militias that are nominally under the Iraqi military but in practice largely outside of its control.

The US Treasury is Going to Crash the Dollar

The US Treasury is Going to Crash the Dollar

Steven Van Metre: 4-28-2026

The world of finance is a complex, ever-shifting landscape, and understanding the underlying currents is crucial for any observer of the global economy. Steven Van Metre recently offered a fascinating look into some pivotal strategies and market dynamics that are poised to shape our financial future, touching on everything from central bank maneuvers to equity market paradoxes. Let’s delve into some of the compelling points raised in his insightful discussion.

At the heart of Van Metre’s discussion is a bold strategic move unfolding on the global stage: the potential weakening of the U.S. dollar, spearheaded by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

The core mechanism? Expanding dollar swap lines with key international allies, particularly in the Gulf and Asia. These swap lines are essentially agreements where the U.S. Federal Reserve provides dollars to foreign central banks in exchange for their local currency, with an agreement to swap back later.

The rationale behind this initiative is multifaceted. Amidst a slowing global economy, there’s a growing risk of “dollar tightness”—a scarcity of dollars in international markets. This scarcity can lead to disorderly asset sales by foreign entities struggling to obtain dollars, which, in turn, could spike U.S. interest rates and potentially trigger a recession.

By proactively flooding the global economy with dollars through these expanded swap lines, the Treasury aims to maintain crucial liquidity, stabilize international markets, and prevent such disruptive scenarios. It’s a strategic maneuver designed to provide a smoother ride for the global economy, even if it means a deliberate weakening of the dollar’s relative strength.

Crucially, the effectiveness and scope of this dollar strategy are deeply intertwined with the actions and independence of the Federal Reserve. Van Metre’s video highlights significant developments here, including recent movements around the nomination of a new Fed Chair and the dropping of a Justice Department probe that had previously raised concerns about the institution’s independence. These events suggest a growing political alignment that could pave the way for more extensive, and perhaps even permanent, dollar swap lines.

This alignment is a game-changer. A Fed that is more closely aligned with government economic policy can more readily implement and sustain the kind of expansive liquidity provisions discussed. This institutional backing provides a strong foundation for the planned weakening of the dollar, solidifying the outlook for a potentially less dominant greenback on the international stage.

Shifting gears to the equity markets, Van Metre uncovers some intriguing contradictions. Despite general expectations that hedge funds might be aggressively buying into the market, data presented suggests quite the opposite: hedge funds have been offloading tech stocks at their fastest pace in two years, while simultaneously maintaining significant short positions. This “paradoxical behavior” sets up an interesting dynamic.

However, against this backdrop, other forces are at play. Ongoing pension fund rebalancing—where large institutional investors adjust their portfolios—and record corporate buybacks are injecting substantial capital back into the market. These powerful financial flows, combined with the potential for a weaker dollar and declining market volatility (as indicated by the VIX), create a fertile ground for a potentially significant rally in stock prices. While the video acknowledges the market’s narrow breadth, with fewer stocks driving overall gains, it also frames this as a characteristic of modern indexing dynamics rather than an insurmountable barrier to upward movement.

Amidst these macroeconomic and equity discussions, the video also shines a spotlight on specific investment opportunities. Steven Van Metre gives attention to Nevada King Gold Corp., highlighting its expanding high-grade gold resource in Nevada. With strong growth potential and favorable market positioning, it’s presented as an entity to watch for those interested in the precious metals sector.
