Spiraling Stock Market Crash Ahead? Andy Schectman

Spiraling Stock Market Crash Ahead?

Liberty and Finance:  11-25-2025

The global financial landscape is entering a period of extraordinary volatility. What starts as an arcane shift in international monetary policy can quickly cascade into a systemic crisis impacting every investor, from Main Street to Wall Street.

In a recent, essential discussion hosted by Liberty and Finance, Miles Franklin CEO Andy Schectman joined Kaiser Johnson to peel back the layers on current market dynamics.

Their conversation reveals an urgent necessity for strategic, contrarian positioning, highlighting risks ranging from a multi-trillion-dollar market unwind to geopolitical shifts undermining the US dollar, all underscoring the indispensable role of physical gold and silver.

The most immediate and massive threat discussed involves the potential unwinding of the Japanese yen carry trade. For years, global traders have leveraged Japan’s near-zero interest rates, borrowing trillions of yen cheaply and investing those funds into higher-yielding assets abroad, particularly in US stocks and bonds.

Now, as Japan begins to raise rates, this arbitrage trade is rapidly becoming uneconomical.

Schectman and Johnson warn that the forced closure of this multi-trillion-dollar trade could trigger a severe global market correction. As borrowed yen must be repaid, investors are forced to liquidate higher-yielding assets—meaning massive selling pressure is heading directly toward US stock and bond markets.

This unwinding isn’t just a technical glitch; it represents a major systemic risk that could redefine volatility for the next several quarters.

While mainstream financial analysts often fixate on paper markets, the speakers pointed to worrying signs in the physical bullion world, specifically in silver.

The discussion highlighted the unusual state of backwardation in silver futures. This highly rare market condition occurs when the current spot price for immediate physical delivery is significantly higher than the price of future contracts.

Simply put, backwardation is a glaring signal of extreme physical tightness. Buyers are willing to pay a premium now because they urgently need the metal and anticipate supply challenges down the road—a powerful indicator that the paper price may not accurately reflect the physical reality.

The conversation moved swiftly to the accelerated pace of de-dollarization—a reality often downplayed by Western media.

The panelists highlighted financial innovations like the “Embridge” cross-border payment system, currently utilized by China, the UAE, and other nations. This system allows international trade surpluses to be settled in gold, bypassing the need for the US dollar and traditional SWIFT mechanisms.

This move is not just symbolic; it’s operational and tactical, demonstrating that major economic powers are building a financial architecture that strategically reduces reliance on the USD. For the strategic investor, this systemic shift reinforces physical gold as the ultimate asset, settling economic reality outside of any one nation’s currency policy.

Systemic risk isn’t limited to traditional finance; it extends to the digital landscape as well.

Schectman referenced a crucial warning from the founder of Ethereum, suggesting that advancing quantum computing capabilities could render current blockchain cryptography vulnerable as early as 2028. If the cryptographic backbone of digital assets fails, the entire ecosystem faces an existential threat.

This looming vulnerability adds a powerful argument to the case for physical assets. As digital systems face systemic risk—whether from quantum hacks or centralized control—physical gold and silver stand entirely outside the digital matrix, offering genuine, non-fiat, non-corruptible safe haven status.

Contrarian Alignment: This cautious stance aligns with contrarian financial thinkers like Rick Rule and Bank of America’s Michael Hartnett, who emphasize increasing institutional allocations to gold as a hedge against unpredictable risks, contrasting sharply with often-unreliable forecasts from mainstream financial institutions like UBS.

With geopolitical uncertainty and systemic risk driving increased retail demand for precious metals, a new danger has emerged: widespread counterfeit bullion.

Andy Schectman committed a significant portion of the discussion to providing actionable advice on authentication, stressing that in a market flush with fake bars and coins, reputation must supersede price.

When navigating these volatile waters, an investor’s primary concern must be holding authentic physical metal

The insights shared by Kaiser Johnson and Andy Schectman paint a clear picture: global finance is undergoing a fundamental, volatile transformation driven by massive debt unwinds and geopolitical restructuring.

The message is one of caution, education, and strategic contrarian positioning. Physical precious metals are not just an investment; they are an insurance policy against systemic risk—whether that risk originates from a collapsing carry trade, geopolitical conflicts, or even the limits of digital technology.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Sechin Sounds the Alarm: Sanctions Risk Triggering Western Economic Crisis

Rosneft CEO warns that continued sanctions could spark a destabilizing blow to the West.

Overview

• Igor Sechin, CEO of Rosneft and close Putin ally, claimed Western sanctions against Russia and China may provoke a “major economic crisis” in Western nations.

• Speaking in Beijing at a Russian-Chinese energy forum, Sechin argued that sanctions have already driven up energy costs in the West, straining both household and state budgets.

• He highlighted Russia and China’s competitive edge in electricity prices, asserting their economies are more resilient under sanction pressure.

Key Developments

• Escalating Sanctions Pressure
  Sechin criticized what he called the West’s “aggressive policy” of sanctions on both Russia and China, warning that these measures jeopardize Western economic stability.

• Electricity Price Disparity
  According to Sechin, electricity in Russia and China costs 2x less than in the U.S., and 3–4x less than in the EU, underscoring a structural competitive advantage. 

• Risk of Rising Social and Fiscal Costs
  He predicted that sustained high energy prices would force Western governments to increase subsidies, drive up household expenses, and constrain their economic potential. 

• Strategic Vision vs Short-Sighted Policy
  Quoting Sun Tzu, Sechin warned that Western sanctions lack long-term strategic thinking — “Tactics without strategy is just vanity before defeat.” 

Why It Matters

Sechin’s remarks expose a paradox: sanctions meant to punish Russia could boomerang, inflicting economic pain on their enforcers. That risk complicates the West’s leverage, especially as energy becomes a contested geopolitical tool — and highlights how economic statecraft can carry unintended blowback.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 2 — Diplomacy & Financial Governance

This warning from a top Russian energy executive could intensify geopolitical fault lines, pushing Western nations to reassess the cost of financial and economic containment strategies.

Pillar 3 — Markets & Strategic Commodities

Energy markets are not just commercial but strategic. If sanctions drive instability in Western energy sectors, global capital may shift to more resilient energy superpowers like Russia and China — reinforcing a multipolar energy order.

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

Emerging Economies Push IMF for Governance Reform

The G-24 renews pressure for rebalancing voting power and quota shares within the IMF.

Overview

• The Intergovernmental Group of 24 (G-24) has reiterated demands for updated IMF quotas, arguing that emerging economies lack proper representation.

• Leaders claim outdated governance structures fail to reflect modern global economic realities.

• The reform push comes as developing nations coordinate more closely on monetary and financial policy.

Key Developments

• Quota Realignment Back on the Table
  The G-24 is urging the IMF to accelerate negotiations on quota reform to give emerging markets greater voting power and influence.

• Call for Fair Representation
  The group argues that current structures over-represent advanced economies and under-represent nations driving global economic growth.

• Emphasis on Financial Stability & Equity
  The G-24 highlights how inequitable governance limits the IMF’s ability to respond effectively to global crises.

• Momentum for Multipolar Financial Governance
  The reform push aligns with broader moves toward alternative payment systems, reserve diversification, and south-south financial cooperation.

Why It Matters

Governance reform at the IMF could shift power away from traditional Western financial leadership and toward a more multipolar system. If successful, it would accelerate the global realignment already underway across monetary, trade, and capital systems.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 2 — Diplomacy & Peace Architecture

Greater representation for emerging economies redistributes influence within international institutions, altering the balance of global financial governance.

Pillar 1 — Financial System Architecture

A reweighted IMF could support alternative reserve structures, diversified lending systems, and new financial safety nets beyond traditional Western dominance.

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

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

ISO 20022 Goes Fully Live: A Quiet Revolution in Global Payments

SWIFT’s final cutover retires legacy messaging and ushers in a data-rich financial architecture.

Overview

• SWIFT has officially completed its global transition from MT to ISO 20022, ending decades of legacy payment formats.

• Banks and financial institutions worldwide are now required to use the new standard, expanding data fields, automation capability, and semantic clarity.

• The transition enhances interoperability, creating a unified, machine-readable framework for future digital money systems.

Key Developments

• End of Legacy MT Messages
  SWIFT formally ended MT payment instructions, marking the full adoption of ISO 20022 for cross-border payments, securities, and cash management.

• Higher-Quality Payment Data
  The new format provides structured, enriched data that reduces errors, improves compliance screening, and accelerates settlement speeds.

• Foundation for Next-Gen Financial Technology
  ISO 20022 enables automated reconciliation, faster straight-through processing, and seamless integration with tokenized assets and CBDC infrastructure.

• Global Adoption Momentum
  Banks across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas have been preparing for years, but the final switch marks the first time all major global payment rails speak a common language.

Why It Matters

ISO 20022 doesn’t change currencies directly — it changes the pipes they move through.
By modernizing global payment messages, it lays the groundwork for programmable payments, digital currencies, enhanced liquidity management, and new layers of interoperability that will reshape how value moves across borders.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Finance Infrastructure Modernization

ISO 20022 is becoming the backbone of a redesigned global financial system, enabling central banks, clearinghouses, and commercial banks to operate on a unified data standard.

Pillar 4 — Currency Evolution

The standard’s structured data model is compatible with CBDCs, tokenized deposits, and future cross-border digital currency corridors — positioning it as a foundational layer for emerging monetary architectures.

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

IMF Advances Global Digital Money Oversight

New IMF data protocols aim to unify how nations track CBDCs, stablecoins, and crypto-assets.

Overview

• The IMF has completed its first global test run for collecting digital-money data, covering CBDCs, stablecoins, and crypto markets.

• The pilot is part of the G20 Data Gaps Initiative (DGI-3), designed to standardize how countries report emerging forms of money.

• The framework prepares central banks for a world where digital currencies operate alongside traditional fiat.

Key Developments

• Pilot Data Collection Completed
  From July to November 2025, countries tested new protocols for reporting CBDC usage, stablecoin circulation, and cross-border digital transactions.

• Moves Toward Unified Global Reporting
  The IMF is preparing to roll out a permanent, standardized reporting regime, improving visibility over how digital money flows across borders.

• Focus on Systemic Risk & Transparency
  The new framework is designed to detect vulnerabilities early, especially in fast-moving digital asset markets.

• Preparation for Digital Currency Integration
  By harmonizing reporting frameworks, the IMF is laying the technical groundwork for coordinated regulations — and potentially interoperable CBDC systems in the future.

Why It Matters

A standardized global reporting structure for digital money creates the visibility needed for regulators, central banks, and international institutions to manage the growing digital financial ecosystem. This marks a major step toward integrating CBDCs and stablecoins into the core of the global monetary system.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 2 — Diplomacy & Governance

Harmonized digital-money oversight increases coordination between nations and strengthens multilateral influence in shaping the future financial architecture.

Pillar 4 — Currency Evolution

Consistent global reporting makes it easier for CBDCs to become mainstream, accelerating the shift toward programmable and interoperable digital currency systems.

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

U.S. Signals Possible Intervention in Venezuela as Terror Designation Escalates Tensions

Rep. Maria Salazar suggests Washington may be preparing direct action amid oil, security, and geopolitical stakes.

Overview

• Rep. Maria Salazar claims the U.S. is “about to go in” to Venezuela, signaling potential military or regime-change action.

• The U.S. has designated Nicolás Maduro’s regime and the Cartel de los Soles as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, dramatically raising the stakes.

• Venezuela’s massive oil reserves and alleged ties to hostile groups are being cited as justification for stronger U.S. measures.

Key Developments

• Salazar’s Warning of U.S. Action
  Speaking on Fox Business, Rep. Salazar said Maduro “understands we’re about to go in,” framing intervention as beneficial to the U.S. economy and national security.

• Oil as a Central Strategic Factor
  Venezuela holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves. Salazar argued intervention could unlock “more than a trillion dollars in economic activity” for U.S. companies.

• Terrorist Designation Takes Effect
  The State Department’s designation of Cartel de los Soles — allegedly headed by Maduro — places the Venezuelan leadership within the same legal framework as foreign terrorist organizations.

• Military Pressure Rising
  The U.S. has deployed the world’s largest aircraft carrier to the Caribbean, following months of maritime operations targeting suspected drug-smuggling vessels.

• Historical Parallels Drawn
  Salazar compared the situation to the 1989 U.S. intervention in Panama, suggesting Venezuelans would welcome U.S. forces similarly.

Why It Matters

The convergence of military deployment, terrorist designations, and political rhetoric signals a serious escalation in U.S.–Venezuela tensions. If Washington moves toward intervention, it would reshape hemispheric geopolitics, energy markets, and U.S. relations with Latin America — all at a moment when global power balances are already shifting.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 2 — Diplomacy & Peace Architecture

A U.S. intervention would heighten geopolitical fragmentation, accelerate alignment shifts in Latin America, and further test global diplomatic frameworks already strained by multipolar competition.

Pillar 3 — Markets & Strategic Commodities

Venezuela’s vast oil reserves could become a major factor in global energy restructuring. Any U.S.-led regime change could dramatically influence oil production, pricing, and strategic access critical to the emerging financial order.

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

“Tidbits From TNT” Tuesday Morning 11-25-2025

TNT:

Tishwash: The financial reform package supports domestic investment and stimulates the economy.

With a focus on reducing the deficit and increasing non-oil revenues, local investment in Iraq appears to be on the verge of a new phase of growth and prosperity, but the question remains about the sustainability of these policies.

The Prime Minister's economic advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, affirmed that the Iraqi government is pursuing a disciplined fiscal policy that relies on sound management of the deficit and rationalization of public spending, which has strengthened the confidence of the private sector and reduced the level of uncertainty that was one of the most prominent obstacles to local investment.

Saleh said , “The impact of fiscal policy on the volume of local investments varies according to the nature of the sectors. While the energy sectors, especially oil, gas and renewable energies, have the largest share of investment flows due to their attractiveness and profitability, recent years have witnessed a clear shift towards investment in the construction and pharmaceutical industries, as local and foreign investors have begun to pay attention to the growing opportunities in these sectors.”

He added that “the impact of fiscal policy is varied; it is positive on large investment projects through relative financial stability, but it is more influential and effective with regard to small and medium-sized enterprises, as a joint incentive and financing approach has been adopted between fiscal and monetary policy.”

Establishment of Riyada Bank

Saleh pointed out that “the most prominent tools of this approach is the establishment of Riyada Bank as a mixed bank specializing in financing small and medium projects with the aim of mobilizing nearly sixty percent of the unemployed workforce through long-term, easy loans, as it is being established with the contribution of private Iraqi banks and with the direct supervision and support of the Central Bank.”

He then continued, “In addition to cooperation with specialized international organizations, there were also extensive initiatives to provide loans to young people and support individual and group projects under the direct supervision of the Prime Minister within the Youth Initiative.”

Saleh explained that “the success of fiscal policy in reducing the deficit depends on achieving a delicate balance between sustaining macroeconomic stability and providing space for growth and investment. A disciplinary policy without a developmental vision may curb economic activity, while uncontrolled expansionary spending leads to a deepening of the deficit gap.”

Increase in non-oil revenues

“Based on this, financial reform programs work to increase non-oil revenues by expanding customs and tax collection, modernizing legislation, and enhancing public financial digitization to reduce leakage and waste, raise collection efficiency, improve the business environment to encourage the private sector to expand and invest, and raise the efficiency of public spending by adopting performance evaluation standards and linking projects to economic feasibility,” he added.

Saleh concluded his statement by emphasizing that “the success of the current fiscal policy is based on combining fiscal discipline to ensure macroeconomic stability and developmental stimulus to expand the production base and encourage local investment

. Digitalization, improving non-oil revenues, and enhancing private sector confidence are key pillars for strengthening public finances and achieving more sustainable economic growth in the short, medium, and long term.” link

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

Tishwash: Iraq seeks to expand its global economic influence

The Ministry of Trade announced its plans to bring national products to global markets, stressing that “Iraqi industries have reached an advanced level.”

The ministry stated that it “is working to support the Iraqi private sector participating in international exhibitions and showcasing Iraqi products in the food, industrial and commercial sectors, and to enhance the role of the General Company for Iraqi Exhibitions and the Export Support Fund.”

She explained: “The achievements of Iraqi industry have reached an advanced level and have established significant pillars in supporting the export of industrial projects and introducing Iraqi materials into global and Iraqi markets.”  link

Tishwash:  Government advisor: Digitalization and increasing non-oil revenues are fundamental to financial reform.

He added, "Based on this, financial reform programs work to increase non-oil revenues by expanding customs and tax collection, modernizing legislation, and enhancing public financial digitization to reduce leakage and waste, raise collection efficiency, improve the business environment to encourage the private sector to expand and invest, and raise the efficiency of public spending by adopting performance evaluation standards and linking projects to economic feasibility."

Saleh concluded his statement by emphasizing that “the success of the current fiscal policy is based on combining fiscal discipline to ensure macroeconomic stability and developmental stimulus to expand the production base and encourage local investment. Digitalization, improving non-oil revenues, and enhancing private sector confidence are key pillars for strengthening public finances and achieving more sustainable economic growth in the short, medium, and long term.” link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

China’s Golden Gamble: Quietly Building a Global Finance Powerhouse

Beijing’s aggressive gold accumulation underscores its ambition to reshape monetary dominance — beyond just the yuan.

Overview

• China’s central bank has now purchased gold for 10+ consecutive months, steadily growing its bullion reserves.

• Official gold holdings recently hit ~2,303.5 tonnes, according to data on ETF inflows and reserve reports.

• Chinese gold ETFs are booming, with 164% growth year-to-date, signaling strong domestic investor demand.

• Global diversification motive: These purchases align with Beijing’s push to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar and strengthen its reserve strategy.

• Analysts warn the real total could be significantly higher, with estimations suggesting China may be holding far more gold than disclosed.

Key Developments

• The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) added gold for a seventh month in May, boosting holdings to ~73.83 million fine troy ounces. 

• By August, China extended that streak to 10 straight months, holding ~74.02 million fine troy ounces. 

• As of September, reserve estimates (from external analysts) suggest China added ~15 tonnes, possibly under-reported inofficially. 

• In parallel, Chinese gold ETFs saw record inflows: in Q1 2025, inflows reached RMB 16.7 bn, corresponding to ~23 tonnes added. 

• Data from the World Gold Council shows China’s portion of gold in its reserves is rising, even as global central banks continue strong gold buybacks. 

Why It Matters

China’s systematic gold accumulation is more than just a hedge — it’s a strategic play. By quietly building its reserves, Beijing is positioning itself to reduce dependence on dollar-denominated assets, reinforce its financial autonomy, and potentially validate its currency and geopolitical ambitions in a world where gold retains symbolic and practical power.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Currency Fragmentation
China’s aggressive gold hoard supports its broader de-dollarization agenda. More gold on its balance sheet strengthens its financial sovereignty and reduces the risk of U.S.-led economic coercion.

Pillar 2 — Reserve Reallocation
As China shifts more of its reserves into gold, it challenges the traditional reserve asset hierarchy. This reallocation could spur other nations to rethink the composition of their sovereign reserves and accelerate a global pivot toward hard assets.

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

BRICS Fast-Track De-Dollarization: Russia Now Settles Up to 95% of Trade With China & India in Local Currencies

As BRICS accelerates financial integration, Moscow is shifting nearly all major trade flows away from the U.S. dollar — strengthening the bloc’s parallel monetary architecture.

Overview

• Russia reports that 90–95% of its trade with China and India is now handled in rubles, rupees, and yuan.

• The BRICS bloc continues pushing coordinated de-dollarization, expanding settlement systems and local-currency financing mechanisms.

• Indonesia becomes the newest BRICS member to integrate yuan-based foreign exchange operations, further reducing the role of the U.S. dollar in regional trade.

• The New Development Bank (NDB) is scaling up local-currency loan programs, reducing dependence on Western institutions and SWIFT-linked financing.

• Academic research shows BRICS is building the most significant non-Western financial framework in decades, though the process remains gradual.

Key Developments

• Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister has confirmed that trade with China and India is now overwhelmingly conducted in local currencies, bypassing dollar-denominated transactions.

• BRICS leaders emphasized at their 2025 Summit that local-currency settlement is becoming the bloc’s default practice, not an exception.

• Member states continue expanding alternative payment infrastructure, including:

• Russia’s SPFS system

• China’s CIPS system

• Bilateral currency-swap lines between BRICS central banks

• Indonesia announced it will launch yuan- and yen-based foreign exchange operations, enabling direct settlement without converting into dollars.

• Local-currency usage between Indonesia and China has already reached $1 billion per month — and demand is expected to grow significantly.

• Policymakers across BRICS describe these steps as part of a broader effort to reduce exposure to U.S.-centric financial leverage and sanctions systems.

Why It Matters

This rapid increase in local-currency settlements represents more than a shift in trade mechanics — it signals a fundamental reordering of global financial power. BRICS nations are building the architecture to operate independently of the dollar system, reducing reliance on Western intermediaries and creating a parallel financial world that can operate even under geopolitical strain.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Currency Fragmentation

BRICS is accelerating a structural breakaway from dollar centrality. As more trade settles in yuan, rupees, and rubles, the global monetary landscape becomes more fragmented — and less dominated by a single reserve currency.

Pillar 2 — Financial Sovereignty

By developing their own payment rails, swap lines, and local-currency funding models, BRICS nations are building safeguards against Western sanctions and financial pressure. This move strengthens the bloc’s collective leverage and shifts long-term financial influence away from Washington.

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

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Monday Afternoon 11-24-25

The Central Bank Denies Any Intention To Change The Exchange Rate Of The Iraqi Dinar

Economy | 04:14 - 24/11/2025   Mawazin News - Baghdad:    The Central Bank of Iraq affirmed its support for exchange rate stability, bolstered by ideal levels of foreign currency and gold reserves, while indicating that there is no intention to adjust the Iraqi dinar's exchange rate.

In a statement, the bank said, "As we approach the end of 2025, the Central Bank of Iraq announced significant progress in its strategic objectives related to maintaining price stability.

The inflation rate has fallen to historically low levels, among the lowest in the region, supported by its monetary policies and well-considered measures, despite current economic challenges."

The statement clarified that "Law No. (56) of 2004, particularly Article 1/4/A, clearly defines its core functions in formulating and implementing monetary policy, including exchange rate policy," emphasizing "the absence of any intention to adjust the Iraqi dinar's exchange rate, in line with its central objective of ensuring price stability, an objective that has been successfully achieved in the past period."

The statement emphasized that "the Central Bank continues to support exchange rate stability, bolstered by ideal levels of foreign currency and gold reserves."

It affirmed its "continued commitment to covering all banks' requests for external financing in US dollars and other foreign currencies such as the Chinese yuan, Turkish lira, Indian rupee, and UAE dirham, in addition to the ongoing processing of bank card settlements and personal transfers through MoneyGram and Western Union, as well as cash sales for travel purposes," noting that "there is no pressure on current foreign reserves."

The statement further clarified that "any external statements or opinions regarding changes to the Iraqi dinar exchange rate do not reflect the Central Bank's position and represent speculations aimed at disrupting the market, inciting speculation, and undermining the stability of the national economy."https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270745

Gold Prices Fell As The Dollar Rose

economy | 11:47 - 24/11/2025   Mawazin News - Follow-up:  Gold prices fell for the third consecutive session on Monday as the dollar climbed to a six-month high, while investors awaited further clarity on the direction of US interest rates.
Spot gold fell 0.3% to $4,055.73 per ounce by 06:36 GMT.

Meanwhile, US gold futures for December delivery declined 0.7% to $4,052.40 per ounce, according to trading data.

"The dollar index has risen to near its highest level in six months, above 100 points, and if it continues to trade above 100 points, there will be further pressure on gold prices," said Gaigar Trivedi, senior research analyst at Reliance Securities.   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270733

Oil Prices Fall Amid Peace Efforts In Ukraine

Energy  Economy News – Baghdad   Oil prices fell on Monday, extending losses from last week, as peace talks between Russia and Ukraine moved closer to an agreement, while the value of the US dollar rose.

Brent crude futures fell 14 cents, or 0.22%, to settle at $62.42 a barrel at 01:48 GMT.  U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude also fell 15 cents, or 0.26%, to $57.91 a barrel.

The two benchmark crude oils fell nearly 3% last week, hitting their lowest levels since October 21, amid expectations that the anticipated agreement between Moscow and Kyiv will ease sanctions on Russia, potentially allowing large quantities of Russian oil to return to the markets.  US sanctions against Rosneft and Lukoil took effect on Friday, causing about 48 million barrels of Russian oil to be held up at sea.

On the other hand, the United States and Ukraine said they had made progress in their talks on a peace plan that includes territorial concessions from Kyiv and its abandonment of plans to join NATO, while US President Donald Trump set a deadline of next Thursday to reach an agreement, despite European pressure to formulate better terms.

Any peace agreement is expected to help lift sanctions that have hampered Russian oil exports. Russia was the world's second-largest producer of crude oil in 2024, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

The rise of the US dollar also affected energy markets, as a stronger dollar increases the cost of buying oil for holders of other currencies, putting further pressure on prices.   https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62640

The program focuses on diversifying the economy and reducing dependence on oil, in addition to supporting inclusive growth."
