Tishwash:  Iraq, Jordan forge stronger ties to boost regional stability and economic growth

 Former Jordanian government spokesperson Mohannad Mubaidin affirmed, on Thursday, the ongoing collaboration between Iraq and Jordan to maintain security and stability in the region, particularly in light of last year’s rapid developments.

"King Abdullah II is committed to ensuring that Jordan’s relationship with Iraq is both impactful and geared towards achieving stability and security in the Middle East,” Mubaidin said in an exclusive statement to Shafaq News, adding that "several meetings have been held between the two sides, focusing on key areas, including bolstering security systems and combating terrorism."

High-Level Visits Cement Relations

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani visited Jordan on Dec. 11, 2024, meeting with King Abdullah II to discuss Arab and regional strategies amid ongoing developments in the region, particularly in Syria. This visit underscored Iraq’s strong interest in its ties with Jordan.

On Dec. 15, 2024, Iraqi Parliament Speaker Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani traveled to Amman, where he met King Abdullah II, Jordanian Parliament Speaker Ahmed Safadi, and Senate President Faisal Al-Fayez. According to a statement from Al-Mashhadani’s office, his meeting with Jordanian Prime Minister Jaafar Hassan focused on strengthening bilateral cooperation across political, economic, and security domains, aiming to support stability and development in both nations.

Economic and Trade Ties Flourish

Jordanian officials have emphasized the strategic importance of their partnership with Iraq. Mubaidin reiterated, "Jordan recognizes the depth and significance of its relationship with Iraq and consistently advocates for joint efforts to ensure Iraq’s security and stability while fostering a comprehensive partnership that benefits both nations."

Economic ties between the two countries also remain robust. On Tuesday, the Jordanian Chamber of Commerce announced that Iraq ranked as Jordan’s largest importer in 2024, with total imports valued at 691 million Jordanian dinars.

The oil trade is another vital pillar of cooperation. According to statistics released by Iraq’s State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) on Dec. 28, 2024, Iraqi oil exports to Jordan rose by 7.45% over the first 11 months of 2024, reaching 3.56 million barrels compared to 3.31 million barrels during the same period in 2023. SOMO further reported that Jordan imported approximately 3.8 million barrels of Iraqi oil last year under a renewed agreement signed in mid-2024.

Expanded Energy Cooperation

In August 2024, Iraq and Jordan agreed to increase monthly oil exports from 10,000 barrels to 15,000 barrels, raising the annual total from 300,000 barrels to 450,000 barrels. This expansion now covers approximately 10% of Jordan’s crude oil needs, reflecting the strengthening economic ties between the two nations.

Through mutual commitments to security, economic development, and energy collaboration, Iraq and Jordan continue to set an example of regional partnership, working together to promote stability and prosperity for their citizens. link

Tishwash:  Head of Parliamentary Finance to World Bank delegation: We support any loans that bring benefit

On Wednesday, January 8, 2025, the head of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Atwan Al-Atwani, met with a delegation from the World Bank headed by Jean-Christophe Carré, Regional Director for the Middle East, to discuss supporting the railway rehabilitation project within the Development Road Project, stressing support for borrowing.

 We support any loans that are beneficial.

According to a statement by Al-Atwani's office, seen by "Ultra Iraq", "the meeting reviewed the economic and regional vision of the development road project and its strategic importance in stimulating investment movement, maximizing non-oil revenues, and providing job opportunities. It also discussed the possibility of the private sector contributing to its implementation."

The meeting also "discussed the multi-stage support provided by the World Bank for the Development Road Project, including modernizing and rehabilitating the current railway network and linking it from southern Iraq through the north and reaching Turkey."

The statement added: "Al-Atwani reiterated his emphasis that the infrastructure of the development road should be in the hands of the government so that this important project that links Iraq to the countries of the world is not subject to influences." The head of the parliamentary committee pointed out that "our vision is that the development road project should not be a mere transit point, but rather we seek to make it a gateway to activate various economic and commercial activities and develop the infrastructure," calling on the World Bank delegation to present new visions and ideas regarding achieving the optimal investment for this huge project that is hoped to make Iraq an economic corridor linking Asia to Europe."

Al-Atwani stressed the "necessity of expediting the submission of the feasibility study related to the railway development plan within the development road project, and contributing to mobilizing international expertise and attracting the private sector to invest in it in a way that achieves the country's interest."

He added: "We look forward to holding joint workshops and extensive meetings with the World Bank, to provide a full briefing on the project details and discuss its details in a way that secures broad parliamentary support for this borrowing," indicating that "the Finance Committee supports any loans that are economically feasible and bring great benefit to the Iraqi economy, especially since investment in the railway sector is a successful trend and achieves a large financial return." 

For his part, according to the statement, "the World Bank delegation appreciated the valuable comments made by Al-Atwani within the framework of the rapid transition from the planning and vision stage to the implementation stage, stressing the World Bank team's readiness to submit the feasibility study, project path and details by next February."  link

Liquidity ‘shortage’ dismissed by economic expert Dagher, calls for focus on non-oil revenues

Economic expert Mahmoud Dagher rejected the notion of a liquidity crisis in Iraq due to sufficient financial revenues and stable oil prices exceeding $70 per barrel. In an interview with Al-Rasheed TV, Dagher emphasized that Iraq’s financial situation remains stable and capable of covering salaries, even in the event of a drop in oil prices below the budgeted threshold.

He further noted that in scenarios of declining oil revenues, the government has the option to reduce or halt investment expenditures to secure operational budget requirements, a strategy previously adopted during former Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi’s tenure.

He concluded by urging a focus on non-oil revenues to diversify Iraq’s financial resources, cautioning against populist approaches to economic policy and calling for pragmatic decision-making to address the country’s structural financial challenges.

Excerpts from Mahmoud Dagher’s interview:

We have three types of salaries in the state: employees, retirees under the Pension Authority and the Social Welfare Network, which is covered by the Ministry of Finance through its dollar revenues, converted into dinars via the Central Bank. In case of a liquidity shortage, borrowing becomes the alternative.

There is no liquidity shortage, but rather poor management and coordination. Revenues are sufficient, and oil prices remain above $70 per barrel. Therefore, salaries cannot be stopped. However, there is a coordination issue between the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank, as approval takes 30–40 days to be reinforced, and we need some accounting adjustments to resolve the matter.

If oil prices drop, the investment budget can be reduced or halted to ensure the operational budget is secured. Previous governments adopted this approach several times, particularly in 2015 and subsequent years.

I support an annual budget because it accounts for all variables. The three-year budget did not achieve the financial stability it was supposed to, as it remains merely a set of future plans. Moreover, we have not benefited from the annual budget system in past years due to delays in its approval.

A weak economy with limited options does not allow for ambitious moves. It requires a wise decision-maker. So far, the Iraqi government has been prudent in its economic decisions. However, Mr. Ammar Hakim’s warnings about the Syrian currency scenario are directed at political leaders, cautioning them against the risk of U.S. sanctions.

In politics, we can talk about rising growth rates, but in economics, it’s a different story. On the ground, Iraq still lags in infrastructure development. We must increase non-oil revenues, and if some are displeased, so be it—because we must move away from populism. link

2025 Market Crash? Inflation Risks and Economic Shifts Revealed

2025 Market Crash? Inflation Risks and Economic Shifts Revealed

Wealthion:  1-8-2025

The champagne corks might be popping on Wall Street in 2024, with equity markets seemingly defying gravity. However, beneath the surface of record highs and bullish sentiment, a sense of unease is growing.

Are we witnessing the final act of a speculative bubble, poised to burst in 2025? A deeper look into the current economic landscape reveals a complex web of factors that could very well trigger a major market correction, and experts are starting to sound the alarm.

In a recent discussion, James Connor sat down with Dylan Smith of Rosenberg Research to dissect the critical market and economic trends that will define 2025. Their analysis paints a picture of a financial landscape fraught with potential pitfalls, driven by a confluence of factors, from frothy markets to shifting central bank strategies.

One of the central concerns is the apparent overvaluation of equity markets. The rapid climb seen in 2024 has many questioning if we’re entering dangerous territory, fueled by speculative buying and a sense of invincibility.

 Combined with this, the specter of inflation continues to loom large. While central banks have attempted to tame price increases, the risk of a resurgence, driven by lingering supply chain issues and global uncertainties, remains very real. This precarious combination could easily trigger a market sell-off as investors scramble to de-risk.

The Federal Reserve’s (Fed) strategy, often referred to as the “Powell pivot,” is another crucial element in this complex equation. The Fed’s moves to manage inflation through interest rate hikes have had a ripple effect across global markets. However, the pace and magnitude of these adjustments are critical.

A misstep could inadvertently push economies into recession, exacerbating any market downturn. This precarious balancing act is particularly challenging given the varying economic situations of different nations.

The discussion also highlighted the stark contrast between the economic performance of the United States and Canada. While the U.S. has displayed surprising resilience and growth, Canada appears to be grappling with a “lost decade” of sluggish economic activity and challenges including high levels of household debt. This divergence creates a unique kind of risk, as global market events could impact these two interconnected economies in very different and potentially unpredictable ways.

Adding to the complexity is the potential impact of Trump’s tariff policies, a subject that’s back on the radar with his reappearance on the political scene. Increased tariffs can disrupt global supply chains, exacerbate inflationary pressures, and potentially trigger retaliatory actions from other nations, further destabilizing the global economic landscape.

Such policies introduce a significant degree of uncertainty into market forecasts, making it even harder to navigate the financial year of 2025.

Ultimately, what emerges from this analysis is that 2025 is shaping up to be a year of considerable uncertainty. Shifting central bank strategies, the potential for renewed inflation, global geopolitical instability, and the potential for disruptive political factors all contribute to a volatile financial landscape. While predicting the future is impossible, the indicators are flashing warning signs, suggesting investors should be prepared for significant market turbulence.

The insights provided by Smith and Connor underscore the importance of vigilance and a diversified approach to investing. Staying abreast of global economic trends, understanding the potential ramifications of central bank policies, and avoiding the temptation to chase short-term gains may be crucial for weathering the potential storm ahead.

While the current market exuberance may feel comforting, a dose of realism and a careful consideration of the risks is essential for navigating the financial complexities of 2025.

BRICS TO KEEP DITCHING THE US DOLLAR IN 2025: ALLIANCE CONFIRMS

On the heels of immense threats from the West and geopolitical concerns brewing, the BRICS economic alliance appears to remain steadfast in its commitment to ditching the US dollar in 2025. Indeed, the collective has seemingly confirmed the matter, as recent discussion pointed to their belief in de-dollarization as a certain necessity.

US President-elect Donald Trump has been outspoken in his defense of the greenback. Throughout this campaign for reelection, he continually reiterated the importance of keeping the dollar as the world’s currency. After his victory, he issued a warning to BRICS specifically, threatening 100% tariffs on the bloc seeking to create their own dollar alternative.

BRICS to Keep Ditching the US Dollar Despite Trump Threats And There’s One Key Reason Why

The last year has seen the BRICS economic alliance continue their notable ascent. Once just a five-nation collective, the group phase doubled in size with its most recent expansion. Moreover, it has big plans for the global economic market that have seen the West take an undeniably favorable stance.

Although Trump has warned of impending repercussions, the BRICS bloc has reiterated that they are likely to keep ditching the US dollar in 2025 through a recent confirmation. Indeed, the group discussed the reality that de-dollarization is a necessity so long as the United States continues doing one thing.

In a recent statement, former International Monetary Fund director and Brazilian economist Paulo Nogueira Batista Jr. discussed the fact that sanctions are driving the bloc’s actions. Batista spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin directly and relayed the foundation of its financial actions as an alliance.

“We are not against the dollar. It is the dollar that is against us,” he said in a recent interview. “Cahellengin the dollar and the US economy would not be possible, and in any case, it’s not our objective. The BRICS will serve to make us immune to sanction.”

So long as the United States continues sanctioning nations like Russia and Iran, the BRICS bloc is unlikely to shift on its de-dollarization approaches. However, that has not stopped dissension within the group from forming.

India has recently spoken about its desire to work with the incoming Trump regime. Moreover, the president-elect stated that he has been in direct contact with China. Specifically, hinting at the country taking a similarly collaborative approach.

RIPPLE CEO MEETS DONALD TRUMP: A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT LOOMING FOR XRP?

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has confirmed a significant meeting with President Elect Donald Trump, held at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort Jan 7, 2025. Accompanied by Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty, the dinner highlights Ripple’s expanding influence amidst the changing regulatory environment in the US, sparking optimism for the crypto market in 2025.

With plans to slay 2025 with IPO and stablecoin Ripple is all set to acquire its lost territory. This closed-door meeting could be much more than just what we can imagine. Are we expecting an XRP ETF too?

Ripple’s Dinner Date with Trump, What’s Cooking?

On the social media platform X, Garlinghouse shared his excitement about the meeting, describing it as a “great start to 2025.” 

Alderoty also commented on the event with a lighthearted remark about the menu, but the dinner carries weighty implications. It comes as Ripple celebrates recent court victories against the U.S. SEC, solidifying its position as a leader in the crypto space.

The meeting hints that Ripple can get through the legal battle with SEC and this meeting is very crucial since Ripple and the wider industry are manifesting for a dismissal of Ripple vs SEC setting a crypto milestone.

Ripple is not losing ground

Ripple’s groundbreaking legal victory against the SEC, which had accused the company of selling unregistered securities via XRP, continues to shape its future. 

Attorney John E. Deaton, a pro-XRP advocate, noted that Ripple’s transparency throughout the case underscored the SEC’s aggressive litigation tactics. Despite these challenges, Ripple emerged stronger, opening doors for further advancements in the cryptocurrency sector.

Amid this legal progress, analysts are optimistic about XRP’s potential. Some forecasts predict the token could surge to $3, driven by increasing adoption and confidence in Ripple’s solutions. XRP currently trades at $2.44, with a 14% rise over the past week, signaling strong market momentum.

Expanding U.S. Operations

Ripple is also shifting focus back to the U.S. market, with 75% of its new positions now based domestically. The company secured more U.S. business contracts in late 2024 than in the previous six months combined, signaling robust growth. At the same time, political discussions, including those between Senator Cynthia Lummis and SEC chairman candidate Paul Atkins, emphasize the importance of regulatory reform to foster digital asset innovation.

Ripple is currently holding its market position with new product launches, such as the RLUSD stablecoin, which is set to expand across multiple platforms. The company has also partnered with Chainlink to integrate secure pricing into the DeFi ecosystem, further boosting its valuation.

As Ripple enters 2025, this epic meeting with Trump symbolizes a transformative year ahead, both for the company and the broader crypto space. With legal wins, product innovation, and strategic collaborations, Ripple is poised to lead the blockchain industry.

Tishwash:  Article 12 obstructs budget schedules and Parliament is unaware of the size of expenditures and deficit

 Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Jamal Kojer, expected on Tuesday that the budget tables would be sent in February, while he pointed out the possibility of delaying its passage due to disagreements over Article 12.

Kocher said in a statement to Shafaq News, "The Iraqi law requires the Council of Ministers to send the state's general budget to the House of Representatives in the ninth or tenth month of each year, but this has not happened in the past years."

Koger expected that the budget tables for the year 2025 would be sent to the Council at the beginning of next February, but the disagreements over Article 12 of the budget law may delay sending the tables from the government to Parliament.

Koger added that "the House of Representatives and members of the Parliamentary Finance Committee do not have any knowledge of the details of the budget schedules for the year 2025," noting that they do not "know the size of the budget in terms of operating and investment expenses and the deficit rate so far."

Article 12 of the draft budget law includes compensation for the Kurdistan Regional Government for the costs of production and transportation of oil extraction in the region.

It is noteworthy that the representative of the Kurdistan Democratic Party bloc, Jiay Timur, confirmed earlier to Shafaq News Agency, that "the Iraqi government previously calculated in the budget law the cost of extracting oil at $6, and this is a very small number," noting that "foreign companies that work on extracting oil at a cost of up to $26 per barrel."

In June 2023, the Iraqi Parliament voted on the draft general budget law for the fiscal years (2023, 2024, 2025).  link

Tishwash:  Iraq and America discuss the existing partnership between the two countries and enhancing cooperation

Today, Tuesday, the Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani, discussed with the Chargé d'Affairs of the US Embassy in Baghdad, Ms. Elizabeth Trudeau, in the presence of the Director of the Political Section at the Embassy, ​​Ms. Michelle Siders, the general situation in Iraq, and ways to enhance cooperation and existing partnership between the two countries. 

The media office of the Speaker of the House of Representatives stated in a statement received by "Kalima News": "During the meeting, the general situation in Iraq was discussed, and ways to enhance cooperation and existing partnership between the two countries, with emphasis on the United States' support for Iraq in various fields, in a way that enhances stability and development."

According to the statement, the meeting also discussed "a number of topics of common interest, including developments in the regional situation and their effects on the Iraqi arena." 

Dr. Al-Mashhadani stressed the importance of strengthening relations between Iraq and the United States within the framework of common interests, stressing the need to continue dialogue and cooperation to support Iraq's stability and continue efforts to confront political and economic challenges. link

Tishwash:  Iraqi economy enters "dark tunnel" and MPs are concerned about the delay in sending budget tables

Warnings are increasing that Iraq will face major economic difficulties during the current year and the coming years, for reasons most notably its reliance on oil as the sole source of the financial budget and the lack of alternatives, especially with the increase in population. 

Experts confirm that the failure to diversify the country's sources of income and invest oil revenues in providing job opportunities and producing goods and services threatens to spread unemployment among young people, while fluctuating oil prices threatens the country's economic and financial stability. 

In this regard, economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi warned today, Monday, of Iraq entering a dark and critical economic tunnel due to wrong policies, which affects the vulnerable and middle-income classes.  

Al-Marsoumi said in an interview with Al-Maalouma Agency, “Iraq has begun to enter a dark and critical tunnel due to wrong economic policies, failure to provide job opportunities, and resorting to appointments, and here lies the dilemma,” indicating that "When the state is late in paying salaries, the general economic movement and all components of the private sector and the fragile and middle classes will be affected."  

He added, "There is a lack of economic development and a development vision, and therefore things will continue as they are, and whenever oil prices decline, Iraq will find itself in the midst of great difficulties." He explained that "the increase in population requires raising public spending, while revenues are stagnant as a result of relying on oil as the sole resource for the budget and the failure to use its revenues to build a diversified economy that produces goods and services."  

He points out that "there is no short-term solution and the government may resort to deducting a percentage of the Central Bank's transfers and borrowing from domestic banks, and the real solution lies in providing new financial sources other than oil," noting that " Continuing things as they are now will lead to a major problem and unemployment among young people will increase in the coming years.” 

The 2025 budget has not yet been approved, while MPs confirm that the budget schedules have not been sent to the House of Representatives. 

MP Ahmed Al-Sharmani expressed his concern today, Monday, regarding the delay in sending the 2025 budget tables by the government to the House of Representatives, noting that the parliament is still not aware of the details of these tables until now.  

Al-Sharmani explained in a statement to / Al-Maalouma / agency, that “according to the Financial Management Law, the budget tables must be sent to the House of Representatives at the end of October of each year, and that delaying this is a legal violation, especially since this delay has been repeated annually for years,” explaining that “the current delay is another legal violation, as there is no specific date for sending the budget tables.” 

He points out that "there is a possibility that the government is linking the sending of these tables to amending the law proposed in Parliament, which will lead to an additional long delay in light of the ongoing disagreements over the proposal." 

He explained that “the House of Representatives is still not aware of the 2025 budget schedules yet, and there is no specific date for sending these schedules.” 

In contrast, the Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirms that the growth rates of the non-oil GDP will rise to an unprecedented level during 2024, while pointing out that the government program has succeeded in controlling financial diversification in the general budget and the national economy in general.  link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE CAPS RLUSD SUPPLY AT 53.1M: WHAT’S DRIVING THE MOVE?

▪️Ripple’s deliberate pacing of RLUSD issuance reflects a commitment to regulatory compliance and long-term ecosystem stability.

▪️Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed confidence in the incoming Trump administration’s potential to boost crypto innovation and job growth.

Ripple’s launch of RLUSD stablecoin has stirred strong market sentiment, thereby giving the blockchain startup a strong footing in the rapidly evolving stablecoin market. However, the firm has introduced a 53.1 million supply cap on the RLUSD circulation, sparking curiosity about the company’s strategy.

In a thread on the X platform, popular crypto analyst Arthur noted that Ripple is making the controlled release of RLUSD stablecoin in order to preserve its value. As a result, the company is consciously curbing over-supply, which could otherwise lead to inflation and negatively impact market sentiment.

Ripple to Balnace RLUSD Supply and Demand to Prevent Inflation

Ripple seems to be exercising caution with RLUSD’s supply and holding off from issuing more tokens until market conditions indicate stronger demand. If they release too much RLUSD supply, it could increase the token’s perceived value and disrupt the balance of supply and demand.

This strategy underscores Ripple’s focus on ensuring RLUSD’s value remains sustainable and aligned with genuine market needs. By avoiding additional releases, the company aims to position RLUSD as a stable and reliable asset for both institutional and retail investors, noted Arthur.

It seems that Ripple is working to build a strong foundation that can drive the long-term value of RLUSD stablecoin, reported CNF. In the meantime, the company also plans for higher-order goals like exploring new markets and fostering partnerships while strengthening the stability of its broader ecosystem.

Regulatory hurdles may also influence the pace at which RLUSD is issued. By adopting a cautious yet deliberate approach, the company ensures compliance with regulations while positioning itself for potentially unprecedented future growth.

Brad Garlinghouse Hopeful Under Donald Trump’s Leadership

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that he remains hopeful as Donald Trump sets to take charge as US President ahead this month on January 20, reported CNF. In his message on the X platform, he wrote:

2025 is here and the Trump bull market is real. For Ripple, this is even more personal after Gensler’s SEC effectively froze our business opportunities here at home for years. The optimism is obvious and very deserved.

He also said that Ripple has signed more US deals in the last six weeks of 2024, after Donald Trump’s US election victory. Garlinghouse highlighted the proactive efforts of key figures like Scott Bessent, David Sacks, and Paul Atkins, who are poised to play significant roles in shaping U.S. economic policy.

“Team Trump is already driving innovation and job growth in the U.S., and they haven’t even taken office yet!” Garlinghouse noted. He added that the administration’s campaign and planned Day 1 priorities already contribute to a resurgence of interest and confidence in the crypto space.

BRICS TO KEEP DITCHING THE US DOLLAR IN 2025: ALLIANCE CONFIRMS

On the heels of immense threats from the West and geopolitical concerns brewing, the BRICS economic alliance appears to remain steadfast in its commitment to ditching the US dollar in 2025. Indeed, the collective has seemingly confirmed the matter, as recent discussion pointed to their belief in de-dollarization as a certain necessity.

US President-elect Donald Trump has been outspoken in his defense of the greenback. Throughout this campaign for reelection, he continually reiterated the importance of keeping the dollar as the world’s currency. After his victory, he issued a warning to BRICS specifically, threatening 100% tariffs on the bloc seeking to create their own dollar alternative.

BRICS to Keep Ditching the US Dollar Despite Trump Threats And There’s One Key Reason Why

The last year has seen the BRICS economic alliance continue their notable ascent. Once just a five-nation collective, the group phase doubled in size with its most recent expansion. Moreover, it has big plans for the global economic market that have seen the West take an undeniably favorable stance.

Although Trump has warned of impending repercussions, the BRICS bloc has reiterated that they are likely to keep ditching the US dollar in 2025 through a recent confirmation. Indeed, the group discussed the reality that de-dollarization is a necessity so long as the United States continues doing one thing.

In a recent statement, former International Monetary Fund director and Brazilian economist Paulo Nogueira Batista Jr. discussed the fact that sanctions are driving the bloc’s actions. Batista spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin directly and relayed the foundation of its financial actions as an alliance.

“We are not against the dollar. It is the dollar that is against us,” he said in a recent interview. “Cahellengin the dollar and the US economy would not be possible, and in any case, it’s not our objective. The BRICS will serve to make us immune to sanction.”

So long as the United States continues sanctioning nations like Russia and Iran, the BRICS bloc is unlikely to shift on its de-dollarization approaches. However, that has not stopped dissension within the group from forming.

India has recently spoken about its desire to work with the incoming Trump regime. Moreover, the president-elect stated that he has been in direct contact with China. Specifically, hinting at the country taking a similarly collaborative approach.

We’re on the Verge of a Huge Collapse

We’re on the Verge of a Huge Collapse

Liberty and Finance:  1-6-2024

Veteran market analyst Chris Vermeulen has reiterated his bearish outlook for the stock market, warning of a potential major correction in a recent discussion with Liberty and Finance.

Vermeulen’s prediction comes as the market grapples with key technical levels across various asset classes, suggesting a possible market top.

Vermeulen highlighted that January’s market performance often sets the tone for the entire year, and the current signals point towards a significant downturn. He emphasized the importance of closely watching these early indicators, as they can provide valuable insight into market direction.

While acknowledging the current bullish sentiment, Vermeulen cautioned that these highs are unsustainable. He anticipates a period of intense selling pressure across all sectors, potentially triggered by forced liquidations and margin calls.

Vermeulen believes that following this initial panic, these assets will experience strong reversals. Specifically, he is particularly bullish on gold in the long term, predicting a potential price target of $3,500 per ounce. Silver and Bitcoin could also see significant gains once the market stabilizes and the fear dissipates.

Despite the ominous forecast, Vermeulen urged investors to view this potential downturn as an opportunity rather than a cause for panic. He encourages them to prepare a strategy to “buy the dip” and acquire assets at lower prices.

He concluded by advising investors to be patient, stay focused on long-term goals, and not be swayed by short-term market noise. By adopting a strategic approach, investors can navigate the upcoming turbulence and emerge stronger on the other side.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS NEWS:  BRICS MAKES HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT ON COMMON CURRENCY

The BRICS alliance is working towards the formation of a common currency for trade settlements to sideline the US dollar. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergey Ryabkov confirmed that the currency is on the table and will be a reality soon. He explained that the bloc is working on payment-clearing mechanisms, which will also include insurance systems for goods and cargo.

He stressed that the BRICS common currency is real and will be unveiled to the world becoming an alternative option to the US dollar. “Not only it exists. It is not hypothetical,” Ryabkov said during a press conference when asked if the currency is a real idea.

BRICS Common Currency Will Include Safety Features

The safety mechanisms include: clearing mechanisms, insurance systems, and insurance for the movement of goods and cargo, among other features. Things have moved forward and a real alternative to the US dollar has emerged through the BRICS common currency.

Ryabkov said that once the BRICS common currency is launched, other developing countries will begin settling cross-border transactions with it. “Moreover, the others would join as well. This plan is now on the table and that will be implemented is not a pattern for dollar substitution in all settlements.

It is a pattern for creating an additional circuit for work in conditions when the main and well-known to all dollar channel is failing for reasons beyond the control of BRICS.”

“I would like to add: that the financial pattern as such for all its importance is not enough for the system to function properly. We also need clearing mechanisms, we are also working on them – transaction insurance systems, including insurance for the movement of goods and cargoes, which would also not depend on harmful external influences,” the Deputy Foreign Minister noted on the BRICS common currency.

KAMALA HARRIS CERTIFIES DONALD TRUMP AS NEXT U.S. PRESIDENT, AVOIDING 2021 CHAOS

▪️Kamala Harris officially certifies Trump as 2024 U.S. presidential election winner.

▪️Unlike 2021’s chaos, this years certification process was calm and without any major issues.

▪️Former VP Mike Pence praised Harris for leading a peaceful transfer of power.

In a historic announcement, Vice President Kamala Harris officially certified the results of the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Donald Trump, who supports crypto, is now set to become the next president, with J.D. Vance as vice president. This peaceful announcement was very different from the chaos of January 6, 2021, when the Capitol faced violence during the last certification.

Harris Announces Trump’s Victory

During the certification, Harris, in her role as president of the Senate, declared Trump as the winner with 312 Electoral College votes, surpassing the required 270. She secured 226 votes.

Harris ended her statement by highlighting the importance of the constitutional process that confirmed Trump’s presidency. She said, “This announcement is a sufficient declaration of the elected president and vice president of the United States, starting their term on January 20, 2025.”

Despite losing the election to Trump, Harris maintained a composed look, fulfilling her constitutional duty in front of an energized Republican audience. Meanwhile, her announcement was met with cheers and applause from Republicans.

Previous Certifies Election, Erupted In Chaos

The last time when the U.S. Congress met to certify a presidential election, things turned violent. On January 6, 2021, a group of rioters, fueled by false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, stormed the Capitol.

They broke windows, fought with police, entered the House chamber, and damaged offices, including then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s.

Since that day, over 1,500 individuals have been charged for their roles in the attack. Interestingly, Trump has pledged to pardon many of them once he takes office for his second term as president.

Peaceful Transfer of Power

Unlike the 2021 certification process, which was marred by violence and delays, this year’s proceedings were orderly. Former Vice President Mike Pence, who presided over the 2021 session under immense pressure, praised the peaceful transition.

In a recent tweet post, Pence congratulated Trump and Vance, calling the peaceful transfer of power “a hallmark of our democracy.”

He also commended Harris for her role, stating, “It’s particularly admirable that Vice President Harris presided over the certification of an election she lost.”
