Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Global Equity Fund Inflows Collapse as Investors Pivot to Safety

Capital quietly abandons risk assets, signaling deeper stress beneath global markets.

Overview

Global investor sentiment shifted sharply as geopolitical uncertainty intensified, triggering a dramatic slowdown in equity fund inflows. Weekly global equity inflows plunged from approximately $45 billion to just $9 billion, reflecting rising risk aversion tied to renewed U.S. trade disputes, diplomatic frictions, and mounting macroeconomic instability.

At the same time, safe-haven assets surged in demand, with gold and precious metals funds attracting significant new capital as investors prioritized preservation over growth.

Key Developments

• Equity inflows dropped nearly 80% week-over-week, a sharp reversal in global risk appetite

• Escalating trade tensions and geopolitical uncertainty weighed on growth expectations

• Gold and precious metals funds gained inflows, reinforcing safe-haven demand

• Bond and defensive allocations increased as investors repositioned portfolios

Why It Matters

This shift reflects more than short-term volatility. Capital flows act as early warning indicators, and the move away from equities suggests institutional investors are bracing for policy shocks, liquidity tightening, and systemic recalibration.

When global money retreats from growth assets, it signals expectations of:

• Slower economic expansion

• Increased financial stress

• Potential monetary intervention

Such conditions often precede structural changes in monetary and fiscal frameworks.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Periods of risk-off capital rotation historically align with currency realignments and revaluation windows. As investors favor tangible and defensive assets, confidence in existing fiat structures weakens, strengthening the case for currency resets, asset-backed valuation mechanisms, or revised exchange regimes.

Foreign currency holders waiting for higher valuation scenarios often see these moments as positioning phases, not endpoints.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Confirms a transition from growth chasing to capital protection

• Reinforces gold’s role as a neutral anchor asset

• Signals increasing strain on equity-driven liquidity models

• Aligns with broader movement toward monetary system restructuring

When capital stops chasing returns and starts seeking shelter, the system is telling you something.

Davos 2026: Carney Flags Dollar Decline as BRICS Influence Accelerates

Middle powers warned the old financial order is fracturing in real time

Overview

At the World Economic Forum 2026 in Davos, Mark Carney delivered a stark warning that global finance is no longer in transition but in rupture. His remarks focused on accelerating dollar vulnerability, the weaponization of economic integration, and the growing influence of BRICS-led alternatives shaping a multipolar financial order.

Carney’s speech underscored how trade, payments infrastructure, and reserve assets are being re-engineered as trust in the post-WWII system erodes.

Key Developments

• Dollar dominance questioned as sanctions, tariffs, and policy unpredictability reshape capital flows

• BRICS momentum accelerates, shifting from discussion to technical implementation

• CBDC interoperability proposals emerge as alternatives to dollar-based settlement systems

• Gold accumulation surges, reflecting hedging against financial weaponization

• Middle powers coordinate to reduce dependence on hegemonic bilateral negotiations

Why It Matters

• The rules-based order is fragmenting even inside traditional Western forums

• Dollar leverage weakens as nations pursue parallel systems, not outright replacement

• Trade, payments, and reserves are increasingly decoupled from U.S. control

• Reset dynamics now unfold incrementally, not through formal declarations

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Dollar dilution often precedes repricing of alternative currencies and assets

• Gold-backed or commodity-linked reserves benefit during confidence transitions

• Multipolar settlement systems increase demand for non-USD instruments

• Currency holders positioned early may benefit as reserve realignment unfolds

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Monetary Architecture Realignment
Carney’s remarks reinforce that reserve diversification, CBDC experimentation, and gold accumulation are no longer fringe ideas — they are policy responses to systemic stress.

Pillar 2: Power Shift Through Infrastructure
Rather than confronting the dollar directly, BRICS and middle powers are building around it, weakening dominance through adoption of alternative rails.

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

🌱 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 Saturday Morning 1-24-26

Is The Era Of The Dollar Over? Shocking Messages From The Davos Forum

Money and Business     Economy News - Follow-up   The World Economic Forum in Davos revealed a growing rift in economic relations between traditional allies, amid an unprecedented escalation in political and economic rhetoric, bringing back to the forefront a fundamental question: Is the world witnessing the end of the unipolar economic system?

During the forum, US President Donald Trump made strongly worded statements towards Europe, attacking European policies and directly demanding the abandonment of Greenland, in a move that strongly brought the issue of tariffs and trade tensions back to the forefront.

Trump's message was clear and unequivocal: "America First," as he stressed that protecting the American economy had become a top priority, even if it led to economic tension with the closest allies in the European continent.

According to observers, trade is no longer just an economic tool for the US administration, but has become a means of national security, used to exert pressure and redraw the global balance of power.

 Shocking European Response From Davos

In contrast, the European response was swift and this time harsh and unprecedented.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has explicitly called for Europe to break free from the dominance of the dollar, in a clear indication of a need to rethink the foundations of the global monetary system.

This stance was not limited to Europe alone, but was echoed in Canada, one of the strongest allies of the United States, where Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, known for his deep economic background, expressed a similar view calling for a reduction in excessive dependence on the dollar.

Back To The Roots: Bretton Woods And The Nixon Shock

To understand the current situation, economists look back to the period after World War II, when the global economic system was formed through the Bretton Woods Agreement, which placed the dollar at the heart of the global monetary system and linked the world's economies to the United States.

This system continued for decades, until Nixon's shock in 1971, when he broke the dollar's link to gold, radically changing the rules and building global stability on trust instead of solid guarantees.

 A New Test For The Global System

Today, this historical stability appears to be being tested once again. What the world is witnessing is not a passing disagreement between allies, but a comprehensive rethinking of the shape of the global economic order, the role of the dollar, and the limits of American influence.

Analysts believe that the next phase may witness a gradual shift towards a multipolar economic system, in which centers of power are distributed among more than one currency and more than one economic axis.

In a rapidly changing world, understanding major trends early on becomes a crucial factor in seizing opportunities and avoiding risks.

The most important question remains: Are we witnessing the beginning of the end of American economic hegemony? Or just a temporary rebalancing?     https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=64905

Iraq Pushes Back On ISIS Transfers, Urges EU Burden-Sharing

2026-01-24 04:00   Shafaq News– Baghdad   Iraq will not shoulder the security and financial costs of receiving thousands of ISIS detainees transferred from Syria alone, Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said on Saturday, as the first group of prisoners entered Iraqi custody.

According to a statement from the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, Hussein told European Commission Vice-President Kaja Kallas during a phone call that responsibility for the detainees must be shared among all countries involved, particularly those whose nationals are among the prisoners.

The transfers follow a US-led operation launched this week by United States Central Command (CENTCOM), which began relocating ISIS detainees from Syria to Iraqi facilities. The first batch included 150 prisoners, with up to 7,000 expected to be moved in stages.

The move comes amid mounting concerns over prison security in northeastern Syria after renewed clashes between Syrian government forces and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which have strained detention sites holding ISIS members.

Transfers accelerated after shifts in territorial control, as the SDF handed over several detention facilities to government forces under a political arrangement, raising fears about the stability of prisons previously secured by the group.

Hussein urged Europe to take a more active role in supporting talks between Damascus and the SDF to stabilize detention sites and prevent further escapes or unrest, the statement said. https://www.shafaq.com/en/Iraq/Iraq-pushes-back-on-ISIS-transfers-urges-EU-burden-sharing      

Why Biggest Money in the World Is Demanding Physical Gold & Silver? Massive Contagion Risk Looming?

Why Biggest Money in the World Is Demanding Physical Gold & Silver? Massive Contagion Risk Looming?

Miles Franklin Media:  1-22-2026

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, is joined by Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, as gold surges toward $5,000 an ounce and silver pushes toward $100.

But the real story isn’t price. It’s delivery.

In this episode of The Real Story, Michelle and Andy break down why the biggest money in the world is no longer trading paper metals and instead standing for physical delivery of gold and silver in record volumes.

 COMEX deliveries are reaching historic levels, Shanghai silver is trading at persistent premiums, and institutions that once dismissed metals are quietly repositioning.

 From COMEX and London vault drains, to Davos discussions of Bretton Woods and reserve currency dependency, to rising risks of a failure-to-deliver scenario that could trigger systemic contagion – this conversation connects the dots the mainstream continues to ignore.

In this episode:

Why COMEX delivery volumes matter more than price

What “standing for delivery” actually means and why it’s different this time

Why silver is being repriced as a strategic and critical metal

The growing gap between paper markets and physical reality

What happens if physical demand overwhelms paper supply

Whether gold is quietly re-monetizing as a reserve asset

Bix Weir-Economic Transition Is Going To Change The World, Silver Is Vital To The Future

Bix Weir -  Economic Transition Is Going To Change The World, Silver Is Vital To The Future

X22 Report:  1-23-2026

Silver, often overshadowed by gold in mainstream financial discussions, is positioned as a profoundly undervalued asset due to decades of market manipulation by powerful entities like JP Morgan through tactics such as "Operation Silver Slam" and naked shorts on the COMEX.

According to Bix Weir, this rigging has suppressed silver's true price, but its critical role in emerging technologies, particularly solar energy where demand has surged over 400% in recent years with new innovations like TOPCon cells requiring more silver per watt, underscores its misallocation and potential as an unparalleled investment.

Weir envisions a future where a global market meltdown forces reforms, meeting 17 key requirements for a freely traded silver market, allowing its value to soar in a post-cabal economy, while X22 Report highlights silver alongside gold as key indicators of shifting financial control away from central banks.

The economic transition unfolding globally is depicted as a battle between the failing old guard of central banks and a rising new system championed by figures like Trump, who is implementing tariffs, exposing fraud, and targeting the Federal Reserve for dismantlement.

 X22 Report portrays this shift as the exposure and collapse of the Great Reset agenda—characterized by scams like the green new deal that have devastated economies such as Germany's with soaring energy costs and remote control over infrastructure—contrasted with the Great Awakening, where unity, accountability, and reversals like domestic oil discoveries and deportation policies lower costs and reclaim national sovereignty.

Bix Weir complements this by tying silver's liberation from manipulation to broader financial reforms, predicting that by 2026, these changes will redefine everything as manipulated structures crumble and precious metals signal the end of centralized control.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

First Trilateral Peace Talks Set for UAE as Ukraine, US, and Russia Prepare to Meet

High-stakes diplomacy begins amid war and unresolved territorial tensions

Overview

Ukraine, the United States, and Russia are preparing for a first-ever trilateral meeting in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced. The talks are scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi across two days, with discussions expected to focus on the ongoing war in Ukraine, security guarantees, and the contentious Donbas territorial dispute. There is no detailed public agenda yet, and outcomes remain unconfirmed, but the development marks a rare direct diplomatic engagement between the three parties since the war began in 2022.

Key Developments

• Zelenskyy confirmed the trilateral talks will be held in Abu Dhabi on January 23–24 at a technical negotiation level with U.S. and Russian delegations.

• The discussions are described as the first of their kind in the UAE, with representatives from military and security sectors expected to participate.

• While Zelenskyy emphasized that the Donbas issue will be “key” to talks, no official agenda or diplomatic text has been released.

• Russia, Ukraine, and U.S. envoys have stated they are willing to talk about territorial modalities and security frameworks, but full agreement remains distant.

Why It Matters

• Direct engagement between Kyiv, Washington, and Moscow is rare and represents a significant diplomatic step in efforts to end the war.

• The territorial dispute over Donbas is central to the conflict and remains a core sticking point that could determine whether negotiations progress.

• No agenda or confirmed outcomes indicate that these talks are exploratory and may or may not yield concrete agreements.

• The UAE’s role as host reflects its growing position as a mediator in complex international conflicts.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Geopolitical conflict — especially one involving major powers — can shift investor confidence and safe-haven demand quickly, influencing currency valuations.

• Progress or breakdown in talks could affect risk sentiment, with implications for the U.S. dollar, euro, Russian ruble, and Ukrainian currency stability.

• A breakthrough could ease military spending pressures and reduce volatility in energy markets, which historically tie closely to currency flows.

• The Global Reset narrative often accelerates when major geopolitical disputes enter substantive diplomacy, even if early meetings produce limited outcomes.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Geopolitical Realignment

The trilateral talks signal a new phase of direct engagement, potentially reshaping alliances and diplomatic power balances in a world where traditional multilateral systems have struggled to halt conflict.

Pillar 2: Monetary and Risk Sentiment Dynamics

Conflict negotiations involving superpowers can rapidly influence currency reserve behaviors, safe-haven flows, and cross-border capital movement, especially if markets perceive shifts in geopolitical risk profiles.

This is not just a meeting — it’s a structural test of whether diplomacy can alter entrenched conflict dynamics.

BRICS Central Banks Overtake U.S. Treasuries With Gold Holdings

Gold quietly replaces bonds as the world’s preferred reserve anchor

Overview

Foreign central banks — led by BRICS nations — now hold more gold by value than U.S. Treasuries for the first time since 1996, marking a historic shift in global reserve strategy. Accelerated gold accumulation reflects rising concern over dollar exposure, sanctions risk, and long-term fiat credibility, even as Treasuries remain in use for liquidity management.

Key Developments

• Central bank gold holdings reached approximately $4 trillion in January 2026, surpassing $3.9 trillion in U.S. Treasury holdings

• BRICS nations purchased over 1,000 tonnes of gold since 2022, bringing collective holdings above 6,000 tonnes

• Gold prices surged to record highs, nearly doubling in value since 2022

• Reserve diversification is driven by geopolitical risk, trade conflict, and sanctions exposure, not yield considerations

• U.S. Treasuries remain widely used, but no longer dominate reserve growth trends

Why It Matters

• Gold overtaking Treasuries signals a structural shift in how safety is defined

• Reserve managers are prioritizing sovereign neutrality over yield

• The dollar’s role is being hedged, not abandoned, through parallel reserve strategies

• This transition weakens the U.S. advantage of financing deficits through foreign bond demand

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Reserve diversification historically precedes currency realignment

• Reduced Treasury reliance increases demand for non-USD settlement currencies

• Gold-backed confidence strengthens currencies linked to commodity exporters

• Foreign currency holders benefit as multipolar reserve structures emerge

• These shifts align directly with Global Reset timing mechanics

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Reserve Asset Realignment
Gold’s rise above Treasuries reflects a measurable move away from debt-based reserve dominance toward tangible asset anchoring, a core reset mechanism.

Pillar 2: Monetary Sovereignty Defense
By holding gold instead of bonds, central banks reduce exposure to foreign political leverage, reinforcing national control over monetary stability.

This is not speculation — it is institutional repositioning.

When bonds wobble, gold remembers its job

How And Where To Sell Gold Coins For The Best Price

How And Where To Sell Gold Coins For The Best Price

With gold at record prices, now is the time to sell. Most coins are sold just for their weight and purity, but some collectible coins are worth more for their rarity, collectability, history and other extrinsic qualities.

Wealthy Single Mommy  Creator  Updated Sat, January 17, 2026

Whether you are a collector, investor, or inheritor of gold coins, now is a great time to sell, with gold prices at all-time highs and many people in need of cash thanks inflation and a lousy job market.

Unlike scrap jewelry, bullion or dental gold, coins are minted and typically stored as an investment or in some cases, a rare collector's item. Most coins are sold just for their weight and purity, but some collectible coins are worth significant money also for their rarity, collectability, history and other extrinsic qualities.

Bottom line up front: Best way to sell gold coins

In this post, we'll explain why we recommend either a local pawn shop (and how to find a good one) or online gold buyer Cash for Gold USA as our most trusted sources for buying most gold coins, jewelry and other precious metals and stones.

If you need more information, read on — we answer common questions about selling gold coins: How do you actually sell a gold coin, anyway? Who buys them, and how much are they worth? We answer these questions and more below:

How to sell gold coins

1. Learn about the value of your gold coins

If you don’t know what you’re selling, it’ll be very easy to be ripped off by the buyer. Is your gold coin simply bullion, worth its weight and purity at today's value — or is it a rare collectible? These posts can help you understand the value of your coins:

Start with a Google search, look through listings on ebay and coin collector sites and familiarize yourself with what you have. Understand the markings on your gold to help understand the purity. The 2026 Red Book Handbook of U.S. Coins Paperback and Price Guide is the Bible of coin collecting.

You might want to invest in a digital scale to understand the exact weight of your coin.

2. Check today’s gold price

As of January 11, 2026, gold was near record highs at $4,518.40.

At a minimum, your gold coins will always be worth at least the value of the gold that they contain. This will depend on the purity of the metal and the weight of the coin. Once you know this information, which you can find with a quick Google search about the coin, you should be able to quickly figure out the rough value of the coin.

An appraisal from a local jeweler or coin dealer can help further, especially if you believe your coin is rare.

These are some common gold coins in the United States and their value based on current gold prices as of January 11, 2026:

Gold Coin Approx. Market Value

American Gold Eagle $4,518

American Buffalo $4,518

Canadian Gold Maple Leaf $4,518

Indian Head Gold Eagle $2,259

South African Krugerrand $4,518

BRICS Shocks the World, New Digital Currency Changes Everything

BRICS Shocks the World, New Digital Currency Changes Everything

Dark Span:   1-22-2026

January 2026 will be etched in history as a pivotal moment in the evolution of the global economic landscape.

The BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—unveiled a groundbreaking digital currency, aptly named the “unit,” designed to revolutionize international trade and finance.

This bold move not only signifies a significant shift away from the US dollar’s long-standing dominance but also marks the beginning of a new era in global economic dynamics.

The “unit” is a carefully crafted currency, with 40% of its value backed by physical gold stored in secure vaults, providing a foundation of stability and trust.

The remaining 60% is supported by a diverse basket of BRICS national currencies, including the yuan, rupee, ruble, and others, reflecting the collective economic strength and future growth potential of its member nations.

This innovative design is poised to offer a reliable alternative to the dollar, mitigating the risks associated with US dollar-denominated transactions.

The catalyst for this development can be traced back to the 2022 Ukraine conflict, which exposed the vulnerabilities of countries reliant on the US dollar-based financial system.

 The freezing of Russia’s foreign reserves by Western nations served as a wake-up call, underscoring the need for a more secure and autonomous financial framework. The BRICS nations recognized that their economic interests could no longer be held hostage by the whims of a single global currency.

The launch of the “unit” is not intended to dismantle the existing dollar-centric system but rather to provide a financial shield, enabling member countries to conduct trade without the looming threat of sanctions or asset freezes.

Russia and China have already demonstrated the viability of this concept, with approximately 90% of their bilateral trade now being conducted without the use of the dollar.

The BRICS group’s sheer scale, representing nearly half of the global population, provides the “unit” with a massive built-in user base, ensuring its immediate utility and impact.

As the currency gains traction, it is likely to have a profound effect on global gold demand, potentially driving prices to unprecedented highs as more gold is purchased to back the “unit.”

For the United States, the emergence of the “unit” poses a significant challenge to the dollar’s “exorbitant privilege.” The ability to dominate global finance, borrow cheaply, and wield sanctions as foreign policy tools is gradually being eroded.

While the dollar will not collapse overnight, the “unit” presents a credible alternative that could, over time, diminish the US’s financial dominance.

As the “unit” gains momentum, other developing nations burdened by dollar-denominated debt and exposed to geopolitical risk are likely to be drawn to this new system.

This could lead to a fragmentation of global financial influence into competing spheres, redefining the rules of international trade and finance.

However, the “unit” is not without its challenges. The BRICS members have diverse political interests, rivalries, and varying degrees of economic ties to the West, making trust and coordination complex. Managing a shared currency requires countries to relinquish some control, a difficult proposition given their pride and power.

In conclusion, the launch of the “unit” signals the beginning of a slow but profound revolution in global finance—a transition from a dollar monopoly to a competitive, multi-layered financial ecosystem.

As this development continues to unfold, it will be fascinating to observe how the global economic landscape evolves. One thing is certain, however: the rules of international trade and finance are changing, introducing new options and shifting power balances in real time.

For those interested in delving deeper into this topic, we recommend watching the full video from Dark Span, which provides further insights and information on the implications of the BRICS “unit” digital currency.

As we navigate this uncharted territory, one question remains: what does the future hold for the global economy? Will the “unit” succeed in challenging the dollar’s dominance, or will it face insurmountable hurdles?

One thing is certain—the next few years will be crucial in shaping the course of global finance. Stay tuned for further updates and analysis on this developing story.

Japan's Bond SHOCK - Debt Market IMPLOSION Is Collapsing Global Economies

Lena Petrova:  1-22-2026

For decades, Japan’s bond market was the definition of stability. That illusion just shattered. This week, Japan’s 40-year government bond yield surged past 4% for the first time ever, triggering a shockwave across global markets.

 In this video, we break down why Japan’s ultra-long bonds are suddenly collapsing, how Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s snap election and aggressive fiscal plans spooked investors, and why this isn’t just Japan’s problem.

Rising Japanese yields are already pushing up U.S. Treasury rates, shaking equities, lifting gold, and threatening a massive yen carry-trade unwind.

Japan is the largest holder of U.S. debt — and when its capital starts moving, the entire world feels it.

👉 Is this the start of a global bond market reset?

👉 Can the Bank of Japan stop the damage — or make it worse?

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

BOARD OF PEACE LAUNCHED: TRUMP UNVEILS NEW GLOBAL DIPLOMACY FRAMEWORK AT DAVOS

An alternative peace architecture emerges as traditional institutions strain

Overview

At the World Economic Forum 2026 in Davos, President Donald Trump formally launched and signed the charter for the “Board of Peace,” a new multinational diplomatic initiative designed to address global conflict resolution and post-war reconstruction. The signing conference on January 22, 2026, brought together a coalition of participating nations willing to commit politically and financially to a new peace mechanism operating alongside — but not under — existing institutions like the United Nations.

The move signals a shift toward coalition-based diplomacy, reflecting growing dissatisfaction with legacy global governance structures amid escalating geopolitical fragmentation.

Key Developments

• Charter signed in Davos by President Trump and representatives from over 20 participating countries

• The Board of Peace is initially focused on Gaza, with scope to expand into other global conflict zones

• Membership reportedly requires a substantial financial commitment, underscoring intent for operational capacity rather than symbolic diplomacy

• Trump positioned the board as a results-driven alternative framework, emphasizing reconstruction, security coordination, and long-term stabilization

• Several traditional Western powers declined participation, highlighting fractures within the existing rules-based order

Why It Matters

• The Board of Peace represents a structural workaround to stalled multilateralism

• Signals declining confidence in the UN’s ability to manage modern conflicts effectively

• Introduces a parallel diplomatic architecture driven by willing coalitions rather than universal consensus

• Reflects a broader trend toward modular global governance, where power is exercised through flexible alliances

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• New diplomatic blocs often precede new funding mechanisms, settlement frameworks, and asset flows

• Coalition-led reconstruction efforts may bypass traditional Bretton Woods channels

• Alternative governance structures can accelerate currency diversification and reserve realignment

• For those holding foreign currencies anticipating a global reset, this reflects early-stage institutional reconfiguration

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Diplomatic Architecture Reset
The Board of Peace underscores a move away from centralized, universal institutions toward selective, commitment-based governance, reshaping how global power is exercised.

Pillar 2: Financial & Institutional Realignment
Mandatory funding commitments and reconstruction mandates hint at new financial pipelines, potentially operating outside IMF–World Bank frameworks.

This is not just diplomacy — it’s global governance restructuring before our eyes.

BRICS and Gold: Morgan Stanley Identifies the Dollar’s Most Serious Challenger

Why the reserve battle may not be currency vs. currency at all

Overview

According to analysis from Morgan Stanley, the global financial system is entering a multipolar transition — but not in the way many expect. While BRICS nations continue expanding de-dollarization strategies, the bank argues the U.S. dollar has no true currency rival capable of fully replacing it. Instead, Morgan Stanley identifies gold as the dollar’s most credible challenger, closely tied to BRICS strategy and accelerating geopolitical shifts.

Rather than building a unified BRICS currency, emerging economies are restructuring reserve composition, increasingly favoring tangible, sanction-resistant assets over dollar-denominated instruments.

Key Developments

• Morgan Stanley states the dollar remains resilient due to the absence of a viable replacement currency

• Gold identified as the primary challenger, not the yuan, euro, or a BRICS unit

• BRICS nations have become the world’s largest net gold buyers since 2022

• Central banks across BRICS have increased gold reserves by more than 30% over five years

• Trade wars, sanctions, and tariff escalation are accelerating reserve diversification

• European leaders, including France’s president, are openly discussing closer engagement with BRICS frameworks

Why It Matters

• Reserve power is shifting from currency dominance to asset credibility

• Gold accumulation reflects declining trust in politically exposed fiat systems

• De-dollarization is occurring through balance sheets, not declarations

• The global system is evolving toward asset-backed credibility rather than monetary hegemony

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Gold accumulation often precedes currency realignment and valuation changes

• Reduced reliance on dollar reserves increases demand for alternative settlement assets

• Foreign currency holders anticipating a global reset benefit when fiat confidence weakens

• Asset-backed strategies historically support re-pricing events during systemic transitions

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Reserve Architecture Transformation
The challenge to the dollar is no longer about replacing it with another currency, but reducing its monopoly role through gold and real-asset accumulation.

Pillar 2: Multipolar Asset Strategy
As BRICS and others pivot toward gold, the system moves closer to neutral reserve assets that sit outside political control, reshaping global finance.

This is not just about currencies — it’s about what the world trusts to store value.

🌱 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 Friday Morning 1-23-26

Dollar Heads For Sharp Weekly Drop As Yen Slides

2026-01-23 02:55   Shafaq News    The yen stayed under pressure after the Bank of Japan held rates steady on Friday, as expected, while the U.S. dollar headed for its steepest weekly drop since June as geopolitical tensions and abrupt policy shifts around Greenland unsettled investors.

The yen was slightly weaker at 158.54 following the BOJ's rate decision and after it raised its economic and inflation forecasts, highlighting the central bank's readiness to continue hiking still-low borrowing costs.

Last month, the BOJ raised its policy interest rate to a 30-year high but that has not helped the frail yen. Traders are concerned that a break beyond 160 per dollar could prompt Tokyo to step into the currency market to support the yen.

Moh Siong Sim, FX strategist at OCBC, said the market was hoping the yen's weakness might trigger a more forceful BOJ response but the central bank maintained the same rhetoric - an outcome that was pretty neutral for markets.

"After all, yen indirectly fits into the economic projections if the weakness is sustained," he said.

The spotlight will now be on comments from Governor Kazuo Ueda to gauge when the next hike will come and whether there is any hawkish tilt to support the yen. Ueda will hold a news conference to explain the decision at 0630 GMT.

"Governor Ueda in his remarks will likely lean into a more hawkish direction, which may keep the next meetings ‘live’ for a further policy rate hike," said Fred Neumann, chief Asia economist at HSBC.

"The Board appears to be leaning more hawkish as well, with one dissenter at today's meeting indicating that further policy rate hikes are on the table."

The yen has been under relentless pressure since Sanae Takaichi took over as Japan's prime minister in October, dropping more than 4% on fiscal concerns and hovering near levels that have spurred verbal warnings and intervention fears.

A bond market rout this week underscored investor nerves about Japan's fiscal position as Takaichi called a snap election for February and promised tax cuts, sending Japanese government bond yields to record highs. They have recovered somewhat since then but investors remain skittish.

Carol Lye, portfolio manager at Brandywine Global, said the authorities have to come up with a more concrete plan to calm the markets. "If there's no action, then it's just words. It's not going to anchor the market down."

"And until they do, I think there's still room for the JGBs across the entire curve to continue being volatile. The rate hikes are also not coming in quickly enough."

DOLLAR SELLING MOMENTUM

The shifting geopolitical landscape has weighed on sentiment this week as Trump said he had secured U.S. access to Greenland in a deal with NATO that came as he backed off tariff threats against Europe and ruled out taking the autonomous territory of Denmark by force.

The dollar has borne the brunt of investor angst in the currency markets as U.S. assets were pummelled at the start of the week amid the intensifying geopolitical tensions.

The dollar index , which measures the U.S. currency against six units, was at 98.366 after dropping 0.58% in the previous session, on course for a 1% slide, its worst weekly performance since June 2025.

The euro was steady at $1.1746, hovering near the three-week high it touched earlier this week, while sterling fetched $1.3496, near a two-week high hit in the previous session.

The Australian dollar was steady at $0.6841, while the New Zealand dollar was 0.3% weaker at $0.59105.

Thierry Wizman, global FX & rates strategist at Macquarie Group, said while a Greenland deal solves the immediate problem of tariffs and invasion, it doesn't solve the core issue of the seeming alienation of allies from one another.

"And that's not a good place to be if you want to preserve the USD's reserve-currency status.”

Precious Metals Surge To Records As Investors Flee US Assets

Economy & Business  Breaking   Gold  2026-01-23 Shafaq News   Gold notched another record high on Friday, ​while silver and platinum also extended gains to hit all-time peaks, ‌powered by diminishing confidence in U.S. assets on account of geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty.

Spot gold was up 0.4% at $4,957.10 per ounce, as of 0536 GMT, after scaling a record $4,966.59 earlier in the day.

U.S. gold futures for February delivery added 0.9% to $4,958.30 per ounce.

"Faith in the U.S. and ‌its assets have been shaken, maybe permanently, and this is driving ​money into precious metals. So the word rupture has been thrown around. I don't think that's an exaggeration," said Kyle Rodda, a senior market analyst at Capital.com.

The ‍dollar index hovered near a more than two-week low on Friday, having fallen 1% in the course of the week, making greenback-priced metals cheaper for overseas buyers, while Wall Street's main ⁠indexes saw a sharp sell-off earlier in the week as investors were spooked by ‍fresh tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump on the EU, before recovering.

EU leaders heaved a ‌sigh of ‌relief over Trump's U-turn on Greenland as they met for an emergency summit in Brussels late on Thursday while issuing a warning that they were ready to act if Trump threatens them again.

The U.S. president for his part said he had ⁠secured total and permanent ⁠U.S. access to ​Greenland in a deal with NATO.

The details of any agreement remain unclear and Denmark insisted its sovereignty over the island isn't up for discussion.

Spot silver surged 2.8% to $98.87 an ounce, after ‍hitting a record high of $99.34 earlier.

"The underlying story to silver is one about the outperformance of silver versus gold and its industrial applications," Rodda added.

Markets anticipate the Fed will deliver two quarter-percentage ​point rate cuts in the latter half of ‍2026, raising non-yielding gold's appeal. FEDWATCH

Oil Rebounds As Trump Renews Iran Threat

Economy & Business   Oil    2026-01-23  Shafaq News   Oil prices rebounded on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump renewed threats against major Middle Eastern producer Iran, raising concerns of military action that could disrupt supplies.

Brent crude futures for March rose 35 cents, or 0.55%, to $64.41 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 33 cents, or 0.56%, to $59.69 a barrel as of 0243 GMT.

Both contracts slumped about 2% on Thursday. They rebounded after Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One the U.S. has an "armada" heading toward Iran but hoped he would not have to use it, as he renewed warnings to Tehran against killing protesters or restarting its nuclear program.

Warships including an aircraft carrier and guided missile destroyers will arrive in the Middle East in the coming days, a U.S. official said. Iran is the fourth-largest producer in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and a major exporter to China, the world's second-largest oil consumer.

Brent and WTI are set for weekly gains of about 0.6% after prices climbed earlier in the week on Trump's threats to invade Greenland, potentially destabilising the trans-Atlantic alliance, but dropped on Thursday as he pulled back on any military action.

Trump stepped back after saying Denmark, which controls the Arctic island, NATO and the U.S. had reached a deal that would allow "total access" to Greenland.

Prices also softened on Thursday following bearish government data showing stockpiles in the U.S., the world's biggest oil user, climbed last week amid slowing fuel demand.

U.S. Energy Information Administration data released on Thursday said crude inventories climbed by 3.6 million barrels for the week ending January 16, more than the 1.1-million-barrel rise predicted by analysts in a Reuters poll.

This also exceeded the 3-million-barrel build that market sources said the American Petroleum Institute (API) trade group reported on Wednesday.

Both U.S. agencies released their reports a day later than usual due to the U.S. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on Monday.  (Reuters)   https://www.shafaq.com/en/Economy/Oil-rebounds-as-Trump-renews-Iran-threat

IRGC Says It Foiled Foreign-Backed Plot To Destabilize Iran

2026-01-23   Shafaq News- Tehran   Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Intelligence Organization said it thwarted “a coordinated foreign-backed plan aimed at fueling unrest and terrorist activity inside Iran,” according to a statement reported by Iranian media outlets.

In its third public statement on the issue, the IRGC intelligence arm said the alleged plot was organized following the 12-day war with Israel and involved the formation of an external command structure linking intelligence services from “10 hostile countries.” The organization said the plan sought to combine internal unrest, armed group activity, and external pressure to create a serious security threat to the country.

The Iranian security agencies, IRGC said, carried out a series of preventive intelligence operations between late June and early January, focusing on domestic unrest and armed group movements led to the arrest or summons of 735 individuals accused of links to “anti-security networks,” the guidance of around 11,000 people deemed vulnerable to involvement in unrest, and the seizure of 743 unlicensed weapons. It also claimed that 46 individuals connected to foreign intelligence services were identified and brought under control.

The IRGC alleged that the unrest involved multiple tactics, including the infiltration of violent actors into protest crowds, foreign political and security support for mobilization efforts, manipulation of social media platforms to incite violence, and the use of individuals with criminal backgrounds.

Since the cross-border war with Israel, Iran’s judiciary and intelligence agencies have reported a series of cases involving what they describe as espionage networks or cells linked to Israel’s Mossad, though authorities have released limited details. Officials have also said that at least ten people accused of spying for Mossad have been executed during this period.   https://www.shafaq.com/en/Middle-East/IRGC-says-it-foiled-foreign-backed-plot-to-destabilize-Iran

Tishwash: Minister of Finance Meets With World Bank Delegation

Iraq’s Minister of Finance met yesterday with the World Bank delegation for the Middle East and North Africa to discuss cooperation opportunities and economic reform in Iraq. 

With a shared vision of economic reform and expansion of major development programmes, Iraq’s visible commitment to streamlining banking procedures to create an attractive environment for investments, enhancing the role of the private sector to reduce imports, and maximising non-oil revenues by automating tax and customs systems and enhancing public treasury resources was at the centre of the discussions.

Minister Mohammed highlighted the leading role of the private sector as a strategic objective in Iraq’s economic development to ensure the resilience of the Iraqi economy, alongside the importance of partnerships with international institutions to advance the national economic landscape.

The World Bank’s International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD)
