Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Trump’s Trade Strategy Accelerates Breakdown of the Old Global Order

Allies hedge as U.S. policy unpredictability forces structural economic shifts

 Overview

Traditional U.S. allies are quietly reassessing their economic dependence on Washington as President Trump’s renewed tariff threats and transactional trade posture inject uncertainty into global markets. Rather than confronting the U.S. directly, partners are hedging risk by diversifying trade, supply chains, and financial exposure — a move that signals a deeper transformation in the global order.

Key Developments

• U.S. tariff threats and policy volatility are prompting allies to reassess long-standing trade assumptions

• Governments are deepening ties with alternative partners, including China and regional trade blocs

• Supply chains are being re-engineered to reduce exposure to U.S. political cycles

• Economic diversification is framed as risk management, not ideological realignment

Why It Matters

This is not a temporary trade dispute — it reflects a structural weakening of U.S. trade centrality. As partners diversify out of necessity, U.S. leverage declines organically rather than through confrontation. The result is a slow erosion of the post-WWII rules-based trade system.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Trade diversification often precedes currency diversification. Reduced reliance on U.S.-centric trade channels lowers dollar settlement volumes over time and increases demand for regional and bilateral currency arrangements. These shifts align precisely with long-term reset dynamics rather than short-term shocks.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Trade & Payments: Multipolar trade networks gain legitimacy through adoption, not announcements

• Pillar 2 – Monetary Power: Reduced trade dominance weakens dollar leverage without requiring collapse

This is how resets actually unfold — not through declarations, but through quiet exits happening in parallel.

This is not just trade policy — it’s a recalibration of global economic dependency.

Davos 2026 Signals Fractured Cooperation Despite Growth Optimism

Global elites acknowledge resilience — but trust gaps dominate strategy

Overview

At the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, global leaders projected confidence in near-term economic resilience while simultaneously acknowledging deep fractures in geopolitical trust, trade coordination, and monetary alignment. The contrast between optimistic growth projections and strategic mistrust highlights a system adapting under strain rather than stabilizing.

Key Developments

• Global growth projections remain near 3.3%, calming immediate market fears

• Leaders acknowledged rising protectionism and trade fragmentation

• Monetary and fiscal coordination is increasingly strained, even among allies

• Military spending and economic security dominate elite discussions

Why It Matters

Davos has historically served as a consensus-building venue. This year, it functioned more as a damage-control forum, where leaders recognized fragmentation as a structural reality rather than a temporary disruption. Growth resilience masks deeper systemic fractures.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Stable growth delays panic but does not halt currency realignment. As trust erodes, nations hedge through diversification, reserve adjustments, and alternative settlement mechanisms. Currency holders positioned outside a single dominant system benefit from this gradual rebalancing.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Confidence Management: Growth stability slows collapse narratives but enables structural repositioning

• Pillar 2 – System Design: Fragmentation pressure forces experimentation with new trade, reserve, and settlement models

Davos did not announce a reset — it acknowledged one already in motion.

This is not global cooperation failing — it’s global coordination being renegotiated.

Iraq Earns $6B+ From December Oil Exports

2026-01-25 Shafaq News– Baghdad   Iraq exported 107.65 million barrels of crude oil in December 2025, generating revenues of more than $6.38 billion, the Oil Ministry said on Sunday.

According to a statement, exports from oil fields in central and southern Iraq totaled 100,420,048 barrels during the month. Shipments from the Kurdistan Region via the Turkish Ceyhan port reached 5,997,527 barrels, while exports to Jordan amounted to 309,712 barrels.

In November, crude oil exports totaled 106.59 million barrels, bringing in more than $6.59 billion.

Iraq, the second-largest oil producer in OPEC after Saudi Arabia, depends on crude exports for more than 90% of state revenues. Most shipments are exported through southern terminals on the Arabian Gulf, supplying mainly Asian markets, while smaller volumes move through northern routes and to neighboring countries https://www.shafaq.com/en/Economy/Iraq-earns-6B-from-December-oil-exports

Iraq Ships 1.2B+ Oil Barrels In 2025

2026-01-25   Shafaq News– Baghdad   Iraq exported 1,243,496,885 barrels of crude oil in 2025, marking a slight increase compared with 1,234,294,152 barrels shipped in 2024, oil export data revealed.

According to the SOMO monthly data, compiled by Shafaq News, the figures averaged 103,624,740 barrels per month and about 3.45 million barrels daily. Oil revenues recorded over ten months, from March through December, amounted to $69,409,862,449.

Earlier today, Iraq’s Oil Ministry said revenues in December alone exceeded six billion dollars from oil saleshttps://www.shafaq.com/en/Economy/Iraq-ships-1-2B-oil-barrels-in-2025

An Economist Says The Rise In Oil Prices Is Temporary And The Markets Do Not Reflect The True Reality.

  {Economic: Al-Furat News} Economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi believes that the current fluctuation in oil prices indicates a temporary rise as a result of geopolitical developments, but it is not sustainable in the long term.

Al-Marsoumi told Al-Furat News Agency that: “The fluctuation in oil prices is heading towards higher prices,” noting that “the current rise is not sustainable but rather a result of geopolitical developments.”

He explained that "depending on how events unfold, prices could exceed $70, but this is temporary and cannot be relied upon."

Al-Marsoumi added, "The rise in oil prices is not successful because it changes the fundamentals of the oil market in terms of supply and demand. The market is now considered to be oversupplied, and the security events are what raised oil prices at the present time."

Oil prices rose as risk appetite improved in broader markets and the dollar weakened, offsetting concerns about increased supplies in the United States and elsewhere.

Brent crude rose towards $65 a barrel, heading for its fifth consecutive weekly gain, while West Texas Intermediate crude approached $60.

Data released on Thursday showed that the US economy expanded in the third quarter more than initially estimated, while the dollar weakened, making goods cheaper for buyers outside the United States.   Raghid LINK

Dr. Mark Thornton Warns 'Fiat Is In The ICU' And Central Banks Do Not Trust Each Other

Dr. Mark Thornton Warns 'Fiat Is In The ICU' And Central Banks Do Not Trust Each Other

Kitco News: 1-23-2026

Ray Dalio warns the monetary order is breaking down, and Dr. Mark Thornton says the fiat system is now in the "Intensive Care Unit."

In this interview, Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron sits down with Dr. Mark Thornton, Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute, to break down why central banks are fleeing Treasuries for physical gold and what the "Skyscraper Curse" signals for a 2026 crash.

They discuss the massive 150-ton gold purchase by Poland, a strategic move by a NATO ally that signals a loss of trust in the debt-based system.

Dr. Thornton also exposes a critical, under-reported crisis in the silver market: supply is "inelastic" and "wasted" on war and solar panels, meaning the market cannot physically respond to price spikes.

With Japanese bond yields spiking and the "Jeddah Tower" restarting construction, the signals for a major economic pivot are flashing red.

IN THIS EPISODE:

 -The "Fiat ICU" Thesis: Why the dollar system is on life support and what replaces it.

-The Silver Supply Crisis: Why a recession will actually cut silver supply due to the "byproduct paradox" (70% of silver comes from base metal mines).

 -The Poland Signal: What it means when a frontline NATO nation dumps bonds for 150 tons of physical gold.

 -The Skyscraper Curse: How the restart of the world's tallest tower in Saudi Arabia predicts an economic crisis in 2026.

-Stocks vs. Manure: Mark Thornton’s shocking bet that fertilizer will outperform the S&P 500 this year.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

U.S. HOUSE PASSES GOVERNMENT FUNDING BILL 341–88 — Clarity Act Headed to Trump’s Desk

Major federal funding victory clears House then advances high-profile digital asset regulation

Overview

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a key chunk of the 2026 federal budget, approving a sweeping government funding package by a vote of 341–88 that funds defense, health, transportation, housing, education, and other major federal programs for the fiscal year. Alongside this, reports on social media indicate that the CLARITY Act — a landmark U.S. digital asset regulatory bill — is now headed to President Donald Trump’s desk for signature, following this decisive legislative momentum.

The funding bill advances to the U.S. Senate next, where lawmakers will need to complete action before the January 30 deadline to avert a potential government shutdown.

Key Developments

• The House passed a 341–88 bipartisan appropriations package, covering key government departments and programs.

• The bill, including defense and domestic spending, now moves to the U.S. Senate for review and final passage before heading to the President for signature.

• Concurrent reporting on social platforms indicates the CLARITY Act — a digital asset regulatory framework that has advanced through the House — is being processed toward the President’s signature, reflecting broader congressional action on crypto regulation. (social source)

• Lawmakers see the full appropriations package as crucial to avert another partial government shutdown before the January 30 deadline.

Why It Matters

This funding bill is one of the largest annual federal spending packages and sets the course for U.S. fiscal policy across defense, social services, infrastructure, and healthcare. The overwhelming House vote reflects strategic bipartisan cooperation on core government functions, even as budget priorities remain contested in other measures.

Simultaneously, the forward movement of the CLARITY Act signals a major shift in U.S. policy toward digital assets and financial system regulation — an area with implications for global finance and innovation ecosystems.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Broad federal funding stabilization reduces tail risk of U.S. institutional disruption — a key factor in global currency confidence.

• Passage of digital asset regulation like the CLARITY Act may shape how crypto and digital currencies integrate with global finance, influencing FX flows and reserve diversification trends.

• A decisive appropriations vote underscores U.S. policy continuity amid geopolitical and macroeconomic tensions — a positive signal for stable foreign exchange environments.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 – Fiscal & Monetary Confidence
Passing a large, bipartisan funding package reinforces U.S. institutional stability, a pillar of global economic order even as structural shifts unfold.

Pillar 2 – Digital Finance Integration
Advancing the CLARITY Act alongside appropriations suggests the U.S. is moving toward formal crypto regulation — a key contingency factor in digital asset adoption and reserve strategies post-reset.

This is not just a budget vote — it’s an alignment of fiscal authority and regulatory intent in an era of global monetary evolution.

CLARITY Act Advances to Trump’s Desk, Redefining U.S. Digital Asset Power

Washington moves to lock in institutional control over crypto infrastructure

Overview

The U.S. House has passed the Digital Asset Market Structure and Investor Protection (CLARITY) Act, sending the bill to President Donald Trump’s desk for signature after being packaged with must-pass government funding legislation. While framed publicly as a pro-innovation framework, the Act has drawn sharp criticism from major crypto firms, including Coinbase, which argue the legislation protects banks and incumbents more than decentralized crypto markets.

Rather than outlawing crypto, the CLARITY Act establishes a clear regulatory perimeter that places digital assets firmly under U.S. financial supervision — a strategic move with global implications.

Key Developments at a Glance

• House passage secured as part of a broader government funding bill

• CLARITY Act headed to the President, bypassing further House resistance

• Regulatory authority clarified between the SEC, CFTC, and banking regulators

• Stablecoins, custody, and trading venues placed under stricter institutional oversight

• Crypto firms warn the law advantages banks and legacy finance

What the CLARITY Act Actually Does

Rather than banning or fully embracing crypto, the legislation:

• Defines which digital assets qualify as securities vs. commodities

• Grants banks preferred custody and settlement roles

• Tightens compliance requirements for exchanges and DeFi access points

• Preserves U.S. dollar primacy by anchoring digital innovation to regulated rails

Industry critics argue this cements Wall Street’s gatekeeping role, slowing decentralized adoption while giving institutions legal certainty.

Why It Matters

This is not a crypto crackdown — it is financial system containment.

The Act:

• Signals the U.S. intends to domesticate crypto, not let it operate outside the system

• Counters BRICS-led payment alternatives by reinforcing regulated dollar rails

• Limits the ability of decentralized networks to bypass banking intermediaries

In short, Washington chose control over competition.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For holders awaiting a Global Reset–style revaluation:

• The CLARITY Act slows disruptive currency alternatives, reinforcing fiat timelines

• Dollar-linked digital systems remain dominant in the near term

• Reset pressures shift toward gold, bilateral trade, and payment rails, not U.S. crypto liberalization

• Regulatory tightening often precedes larger systemic transitions, not stability

This move delays chaos — but increases pressure elsewhere.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Financial Control vs. Decentralization
The U.S. chose regulatory consolidation over crypto autonomy, reinforcing state-backed finance during transition.

Pillar 2: Dollar Defense Through Regulation
By bringing crypto inside U.S. law, Washington protects dollar settlement dominance against BRICS and CBDC alternatives.

This is not innovation — it’s defensive architecture.

This is not just crypto policy — it’s monetary power positioning before a systemic shift.

BRICS Currency Push Accelerates as U.S. Locks Down Crypto Control

Gold-backed settlement and CBDC rails collide with Washington’s CLARITY Act strategy

Overview

A major BRICS currency update is reshaping the global financial landscape as the bloc advances gold-backed settlement mechanisms and cross-border CBDC payment infrastructure, placing new pressure on U.S. dollar dominance. At the same time, the United States has moved in the opposite direction by passing the CLARITY Act, consolidating regulatory control over digital assets and reinforcing dollar-based financial rails.

Rather than competing on innovation alone, the world’s two largest economic blocs are now pursuing fundamentally different monetary strategies — one rooted in decentralization and commodity backing, the other in regulatory containment.

Key Developments

• BRICS advances the Unit, a gold-backed digital trade settlement prototype

• India pushes for CBDC interoperability at the 2026 BRICS summit

• BRICS gold reserves surpass 6,000 tonnes, reducing dollar exposure

• U.S. passes the CLARITY Act, placing crypto firmly under federal oversight

• Two rival visions for global payments emerge in real time

The BRICS Strategy: Gold, CBDCs, and Settlement Independence

The centerpiece of the BRICS currency update is the Unit, a digital settlement instrument backed by 40 grams of physical gold and 60% member currencies, equally weighted among founding BRICS nations. Designed for cross-border trade settlement, the Unit bypasses U.S. banks and dollar liquidity entirely.

In parallel, the Reserve Bank of India has proposed linking BRICS CBDCs to facilitate trade finance, tourism payments, and government settlement flows. This would mark the first operational step toward a non-dollar digital settlement layer among major economies.

At the same time, BRICS members continue aggressive gold accumulation, accounting for more than half of all global central bank gold purchases between 2020 and 2024. Gold is no longer treated solely as a reserve — it is being repositioned as active monetary infrastructure.

The U.S. Strategy: The CLARITY Act

The CLARITY Act does not ban crypto. Instead, it absorbs it.

By defining digital assets as either securities or commodities and placing custody, settlement, and exchange activity under regulated institutions, Washington ensures that crypto reinforces the dollar system rather than threatens it. Banks are granted preferential positioning, while decentralized finance faces higher compliance barriers.

This is a defensive maneuver, aimed at preserving dollar primacy during a period of global transition.

Side-by-Side: CLARITY Act vs BRICS Payment Systems

CLARITY Act (United States)

• Anchors digital assets to U.S. regulatory oversight

• Reinforces dollar settlement dominance

• Favors banks and institutional intermediaries

• Limits decentralized financial autonomy

• Seeks stability through control and compliance

BRICS Payment Systems

• Develop gold-backed settlement mechanisms

• Promote CBDC interoperability outside SWIFT

• Reduce exposure to U.S. sanctions and dollar liquidity

• Emphasize sovereignty over regulation

• Seek resilience through diversification and hard assets

This is not simply policy divergence — it is a monetary bifurcation.

Why It Matters

The dollar is not collapsing — but its exclusive role is eroding.

BRICS initiatives challenge the assumption that global trade must clear through U.S. financial infrastructure. Meanwhile, the CLARITY Act signals Washington’s intent to retain control even as alternatives multiply.

Both systems can coexist — but they cannot dominate simultaneously.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For those waiting on currency revaluation tied to a broader Global Reset:

• Gold-backed settlement strengthens the case for asset-linked currencies

• CBDC interoperability accelerates post-dollar trade mechanisms

• U.S. regulatory tightening often precedes systemic restructuring

• Volatility typically rises before monetary realignments, not after

Reset dynamics are shifting outside the U.S. system, not within it.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Monetary Fragmentation
The global system is moving from a single reserve anchor to parallel settlement zones.

Pillar 2: Gold’s Return to Active Use
Gold is re-emerging not just as a store of value, but as transactional collateral.

This is not speculation — it is architecture.

This is not just digital currency policy — it’s the blueprint for the next financial order.

🌱 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.

Silver Finally Hits $100 An Ounce — And Some Experts Say That’s Just The Beginning

Silver Finally Hits $100 An Ounce — And Some Experts Say That’s Just The Beginning

Myra P. Saefong     MarketWatch   Fri, January 23, 2026

Silver’s climb to the $100-an-ounce mark on Friday — a level it hit for the first time on record — was met with much fanfare by just about everyone who closely watches the market for the precious metal.

Silver has the characteristics of both a precious and an industrial metal and is in short supply. That’s why many investors believe in its potential for further price gains.

 The market “could still be closer to the beginning of the silver move rather than the end,” said Stefan Gleason, president and chief executive officer at Money Metals Exchange, given the breakdown in the gold-to-silver ratio and breakout in mining stock indexes. The ratio represents the relative value of gold to silver.

 “The silver market continues to show incredible momentum, with each pullback or pause being bought quickly,” Gleason told MarketWatch.

On Friday, silver for March delivery SI00 SIH26 traded as high as $101.86 an ounce on Comex, the highest intraday level on record. It settled at $101.33, up 5.2%. It has gained nearly 44% so far this month and is on track for its best month since December 1979, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

“Silver has been breaking milestone after milestone, with traders happy to buy every dip they could get their hands on,” said Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst for global macroeconomics at Forex.com.

Iran: US Military Envoys On The Move (Iraq’s Freedom On The Cusp)

On The Verge Of A Brand New World

Savaya’s blueprint, leaked from encrypted State Department cables, demands Iraq’s Central Bank accelerate the Delete 3 Zeros initiative not as mere redenomination, but as a covert revaluation trigger, pegging the dinar at 1:1 with the USD to flood international markets with oil-backed liquidity by mid-2026 or sooner.

Savaya’s classified metrics for Iraq’s market resurgence demand a rate overhaul deleting zeros, targeting 300 IQD/USD to lure Asian forex flows diverted from China’s yuan woes.

Intel from hacked Iranian servers shows panic over this, with plans to flood markets with counterfeit dinars thwarted by Savaya’s biometric scanners in border posts.

Clarity Act’s unreported riders: Senate will add clauses for dinar transparency, exposing Deepstate banks in the mix.

Board’s Peace charter, signed January 22, 2026, mandates rate stability for membership, reshaping Middle East economics.

The aggressive edge: Savaya’s teams execute wet works on key saboteurs, clearing paths for unhindered revaluation.

Savaya’s endgame for Iraq’s forex dominance requires rate elevation post-zeros deletion, aiming for 100 IQD/USD parity to dominate Gulf markets by 2027. This trajectory, fueled by Trump’s 2020 republic signal, integrates dinar into gold ecosystems, ending Fed’s reign as silver crests $100 in shadow trades.

Clarity Act’s Senate breakthrough will unleash asset forfeitures on Iranian-linked brokers, clearing dinar paths. Board’s Peace framework, ratified at Davos, enforces this monetary peace, accelerating global shifts.

The bold disclosure: Savaya’s alliances with off-world overseers ensure revaluation’s cosmic alignment, outpacing Deepstate collapses.

From Debt Crisis to Asset Revaluation, the Next Financial Regime

From Debt Crisis to Asset Revaluation, the Next Financial Regime

Miles Harris:  1-23-2026

The world is on the cusp of a significant financial transformation, driven by the unsustainable growth of global debt and the need to repair balance sheets without outright debt reduction.

In a recent video presentation, Miles Harris introduces the concept of the “Great Revaluation,” a process that promises to reshape the future economic landscape through the tokenization of real-world assets and the adoption of unified ledger technologies.

In this blog post, we’ll delve into the key takeaways from the presentation and explore the implications of this emerging trend.

The current financial system is characterized by excessive global debt, which has grown to unsustainable levels relative to GDP.

Traditional forms of collateral, such as government bonds and housing, are becoming exhausted, and the system relies heavily on rolling over debts, liquidity, and credible collateral to service these debts. However, as collateral quality deteriorates and settlement processes remain slow, the system faces increasing refinancing risks.

Harris draws a fascinating historical parallel with England’s financial revolution in the late 17th century, where land was revalued as collateral, enabling debt expansion without repayment.

This revaluation facilitated economic growth and helped to establish England as a major financial power. Similarly, the modern equivalent of this revaluation is tokenization, which transforms illiquid real-world assets into liquid, pledgeable digital assets on blockchain-based unified ledgers.

Tokenization promises significant improvements in liquidity, transparency, efficiency, and asset usability, potentially leading to a liquidity premium where tokenized assets appreciate in value.

By expanding the asset base supporting existing debts, tokenization facilitates balance sheet repair without reducing debt levels. This process has the potential to drive greater asset value appreciation and increased economic activity due to faster transaction settlement.

However, Harris cautions that this transition is selective and phased, emphasizing that tokenization will not create new wealth but will reprice existing assets to sustain the heavily indebted global economy.

The benefits of tokenization may disproportionately favor financial elites rather than “main street,” raising important questions about the distribution of wealth and the impact on different segments of society.

In conclusion, the Great Revaluation represents a significant shift in the global financial system, driven by the need to address excessive debt and repair balance sheets.

Tokenization and unified ledger technologies are set to play a key role in this process, promising improved liquidity, transparency, and efficiency. While the benefits of this transition are likely to be significant, it’s essential to engage critically with these ideas and consider the potential implications for different stakeholders.

For further insights and information, we encourage you to watch the full video presentation by Miles Harris, available online. You can also explore these themes further on his website and upcoming videos.

 As the global financial system continues to evolve, it’s crucial to stay informed and engaged with the latest developments in this rapidly changing landscape.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Precious Metals Surge: Gold Nears $5,000 and Silver Crosses $100

Safe-haven demand ignites historic rallies amid market uncertainty

Overview

In today’s markets, gold and silver prices are once again capturing global attention. Silver broke above $100 per ounce — a historic milestone — while gold approaches the $5,000 level as investors seek shelter from ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures. Long-term structural factors like supply constraints, persistent deficits, and robust industrial demand continue to support the rally.

Current Market Moves

• Silver climbed above $100 per ounce, driven by strong investor interest and tight physical supply.

• Gold prices are approaching $5,000 per ounce, maintaining upward momentum.

• Tight inventories, especially in London and COMEX vaults, are exacerbating upward pressure on prices.

• Broader macro forces — expectations of rate cuts, a softer dollar, and safe-haven buying — continue to underpin metals strength.

Why It Matters

The precious metals rally signals a flight to safety as investors confront:

• Heightened geopolitical tensions

• Trade and tariff uncertainty

• Inflation and currency volatility
  Gold and silver’s surge reflects broader market stress, where non-yielding assets outshine equities and other risk assets.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Foreign currency holders should take note because:

• Precious metals often act as proxy indicators for systemic risk and currency confidence

• Rising gold and silver prices imply weakening confidence in fiat stability

• Metals gains tend to anticipate currency realignments during systemic resets

• Safe-haven flows often precede capital reallocation across FX, commodities, and reserves

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 – Monetary Store of Value Shift
Silver’s breakthrough and gold’s ascent suggest investors are repositioning toward hard assets as fiat uncertainty grows.

Pillar 2 – Safe-Haven Leadership
Precious metals are assuming a more central role in portfolios, challenging traditional reserve and liquidity models that rely heavily on debt or currency instruments.

This is not a short rally — it reflects enduring structural demand and shifting perceptions of monetary risk.

When metals shine brightest, fiat shadows deepen

Trilateral Peace Talks in Abu Dhabi: Constructive but No Breakthrough Yet

Diplomacy resumes, territorial deadlock remains, and negotiations set to continue

Overview

For the first time since the full-scale invasion began, Russia, Ukraine, and the United States have met face-to-face in a trilateral diplomatic format hosted in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the two-day negotiations as “constructive,” covering parameters for ending the nearly four-year conflict, though no ceasefire or concrete resolution has been agreed. Officials have signaled that another round of discussions is expected next week, underscoring the ongoing — yet fragile — diplomatic process.

Key Developments

• The talks took place in Abu Dhabi, with delegations from Ukraine, the United States, and Russia.

• Zelenskyy stated the discussions were “constructive” and that all parties agreed to report back to capitals and coordinate further.

• Core issues include the parameters for ending the war and possible security guarantees, though specifics remain undisclosed.

• A next round of trilateral meetings is anticipated on February 1, 2026, according to U.S. officials.

• While dialogue resumed, Russia continues military actions on the ground, and key territorial issues — especially in the Donbas region — remain unresolved.

Why It Matters

This trilateral engagement marks a symbolic milestone in diplomacy: the first of its kind since the war began. It signals both willingness and limits of negotiation:

• It reopens formal channels between Kyiv and Moscow in the presence of a major mediator (the U.S.).

• It highlights how unresolved territorial demands — particularly Russia’s stance on eastern Ukraine — continue to block peace progress.

• The setting in the UAE reflects the growing importance of emerging diplomatic venues outside traditional Western capitals.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Geopolitical conflict reshapes currency and risk pricing. Progress or prolonged stalemate affects safe-haven assets (e.g., gold) and volatile FX pairs.

• Constructive diplomacy can reduce extreme risk premiums, potentially stabilizing markets.

• A diplomatic impasse sustains uncertainty that can inflate currency hedging strategies, strengthening demand for alternative reserve assets.

• Renewal of talks into February suggests continued monitoring and sensitive capital flows in the near term — especially for currencies exposed to energy, defense, and regional trade risks.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 – Peace & Geostrategic Realignment
This trilateral framework introduces a new multilateral dynamic in conflict negotiation, potentially reducing reliance on exclusive bilateral negotiations.

Pillar 2 – Market & Confidence Dynamics
Even constructive diplomacy without agreement shifts risk appetites — driving hedging behavior, safe-haven flows, and reserve diversification.

This is not a definitive peace — it is the cautious continuation of dialogue.

Talks resume, but boundaries still draw the battle lines

Will the U.S. Dollar Collapse If BRICS Links Their CBDC Currencies?

Digital rails expand as dollar dominance faces transactional pressure — not extinction

Overview

Speculation intensified this week after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) proposed linking BRICS nations’ central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to facilitate cross-border trade. With India hosting the 2026 BRICS Summit in New Delhi, the proposal carries unusual weight and signals a shift from theory toward implementation. While some headlines warn of a dollar collapse, the reality is more nuanced.

Key Developments

• The RBI formally proposed interoperability between BRICS CBDCs to improve trade settlement efficiency

• India’s role as 2026 BRICS chair elevates the likelihood of pilot frameworks advancing

• Linked CBDCs would enable faster, cheaper settlements by bypassing dollar-centric rails

• The proposal focuses on transactional utility, not replacing reserve currency structures

• Energy and commodity trade are the most likely early use cases

Why It Matters

• Transactional dominance vs. reserve dominance becomes the real fault line

• The U.S. dollar may lose some cross-border settlement volume without losing reserve status

• CBDC linkages reduce reliance on SWIFT and correspondent banking networks

• Multipolar payment infrastructure quietly advances without formal monetary unions

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Reduced dollar usage in trade supports diversification narratives

• Incremental shifts — not collapses — are how resets actually unfold

• CBDC rails increase optional settlement paths, not forced abandonment of USD

• Long-term holders benefit from gradual re-pricing of alternative currency relevance

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 – Financial Infrastructure Realignment
CBDC interoperability weakens the dollar’s transactional monopoly without directly challenging its reserve role.

Pillar 2 – Multipolar Trade & Settlement Systems
BRICS continues building parallel systems, allowing countries to hedge exposure to Western financial chokepoints.

This is not a currency war — it’s plumbing replacement.

The dollar isn’t collapsing — it’s being routed around

‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ Author Says Gold, Silver Prices Don’t Really Matter

‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ Author Says Gold, Silver Prices Don’t Really Matter

Anand Sinha   TheStreet   Fri, January 23, 2026

If you’re obsessively refreshing gold charts, cryptocurrency candles, or silver wicks, Robert Kiyosaki wants you to relax.

In an X post on Jan. 22, the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" author made it clear: he doesn’t care whether gold, silver, Bitcoin (BTC), or even Ethereum (ETH), rise or fall on any given day.

Why? Because, in his view, the real story isn’t market volatility. It’s the slow, steady erosion of the U.S. dollar.

U.S. debt soars, U.S. dollar sinks

Kiyosaki argues that as the U.S.’s federal debt continues to climb, the purchasing power of the dollar keeps falling.

He isn't wrong.

The U.S. federal government currently has $38.45 trillion in debt.

The U.S. Dollar Index, which measures the value of the dollar relative to a basket of foreign currencies, is at its lowest in two weeks at 98.30 at press time.

Once you accept this reality, Kiyosaki says, price swings start to matter a lot less.

However, the price movements of these popular assets have shaken the global markets.

Gold's price hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $4,967.03 per ounce on Jan. 23 and is now eyeing the $5,000 mark.

Silver is also hitting new records every few days, hitting the ATH of $100.29 per oz on Jan. 23.

Bitcoin, meanwhile, was exchanging hands at $88,866.80 at the time of writing—a pale shadow of the king coin when it hit north of $126,000 in early October last year.

Ether was trading at $2,915.86 at press time, 40% lower than the ATH of $4,953.73 it reached in late April last year.

Instead of worrying about these price movements, Kiyosaki points the finger at what he sees as a deeper problem: economic leadership.

Tishwash:  $100 billion in Iraqi savings revealed at the US Federal Reserve

Economic expert Duraid Al-Anzi said on Friday that Iraq should not have been exposed to any financial crisis or any form of financial distress, stressing that the concerned authorities did not adopt the proposed oil prices in the budgets, which led to the current financial situation.

Al-Anzi explained in a statement to Al-Furat News Agency that “Iraq has been objected to several times regarding not relying on high prices in budgets, and the necessity of not exceeding $65 per barrel in order to be able to save,” noting that “oil prices have changed a lot, but the competent authorities did not think about the future and did not adopt the proposed prices.” 

He added that “Iraq is able to demand additional amounts from its savings held by the US Federal Reserve, as Iraq has savings in the US Federal Reserve exceeding $100 billion, which were transferred to JPMorgan,” explaining that “these funds belong to Iraq after 2003 and have accumulated, and the only beneficiary of them is JPMorgan, which gives simple interest rates, and it is not known whether they reach Iraq or not, and they have not been addressed, despite the amounts being doubled.”  link

Sudani's chances are improving again... New information revealed by MP Al-Luwaizi

MP Abdul Rahman Al-Luwaizi, from the Reconstruction and Development bloc, said that what is being circulated regarding an official concession or political marketing to hand over the premiership to the leader of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri Al-Maliki, is “untrue in word and deed,” stressing that the political reality indicates a different course in managing the nomination file.

Al-Luwaizi explained in televised statements followed by “Jarida Platform” that what is currently happening is opening the way for the current Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani, to give Nouri Al-Maliki the political opportunity to enter the race for the nomination, indicating that this option does not mean deciding the position in favor of Al-Maliki, but rather subjecting him to a test of his ability to form the government within the existing equations and balances.

He added that Maliki’s failure to form a government, if he is officially tasked with it, will reopen all political options, noting that Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s chances may rise again strongly, based on considerations of internal balances and the magnitude of the challenges that any new tasked person may face.

Al-Luwaizi indicated that if the option of assigning Al-Maliki proceeds, the Reconstruction and Development bloc will have a "significant" ministerial share within the new government formation, explaining that the talk is about five sovereign or heavy service ministries.

He also pointed out that the political blocs that had previously objected to al-Sudani’s appointment and nomination for the premiership may receive modest ministerial shares compared to the supporting blocs, which reinforces the hypothesis of al-Sudani’s repositioning as a strong option in the next stage.

Al-Luwaizi concluded his remarks by emphasizing that the political scene is still open to several scenarios, and that the decision regarding the premiership will remain contingent on the candidate's ability to overcome political complexities and form a government that enjoys broad consensus.  link

Tishwash:  Announcement of a joint US military exercise at the embassy and Baghdad airport

US President Donald Trump stated that a large naval fleet is moving towards the Middle East region, including an aircraft carrier and a number of destroyers.

This came in a statement to reporters aboard the presidential plane, "Air Force One," on his way back to the United States after meeting with leaders from around the world in Davos, Switzerland.

Trump said, "We have a large number of ships moving in that direction, in case of any emergency... I don't want anything to happen, but we are watching them very closely."

The US forces in the Middle East are being reinforced with the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and a number of destroyers equipped with guided missiles and additional air defense systems that could be critical to defense if any Iranian attack occurs on US bases in the region.

According to media reports and statements by a US Navy official, the aircraft carrier "Abraham Lincoln" and three destroyers are making their way to the Middle East region, with estimates suggesting their arrival within the next few days.

US media reported that the US force includes an aircraft carrier, cruisers and missile destroyers, in addition to squadrons of fighter jets belonging to the Air Force and ground-based air and missile defense systems.

American warships, including the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, several destroyers, and fighter jets, began moving from the Asia-Pacific region to the Middle East last week, amid rising tensions and escalation between Tehran and Washington over the recent protests in Iran.

It is noted that the US military had amassed a large force last summer before its strikes last June against sites in Iran.

The White House announced last Thursday that President Trump and his team are closely monitoring developments in Iran, and stressed that "all options regarding Tehran remain on the table."    link
