Tishwash:  UN assessment: Iraq today is unrecognizable compared to years ago

The UN coordinator in Iraq, Ghulam Ishaq Zai, gave an optimistic assessment of the situation in the country, stressing that Iraq has strengthened confidence in its institutions and is moving steadily towards stability, while noting that the country has become "remarkable and unrecognizable" compared to what it was years ago.

The United Nations website, in a report seen by Shafaq News Agency, stated that Isaac Ze spoke about the transition from the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), whose mandate officially ended last December, to a new partnership with the Iraqi authorities focused on development.

The report quoted the UN envoy as saying that "Iraq today is unrecognizable and wonderful, especially for those who lived through the turbulent early years of the transition," noting that a country devastated by war after the 2003 invasion has now succeeded in building confidence in its institutions and is moving towards greater stability.

Ishaq Zee explained that poverty rates in Iraq have decreased from 20% in 2018 to 17.5% during the period 2024-2025, noting that preliminary reports indicate that Iraq now occupies an advanced position in the Human Development Index, which measures life expectancy, education levels and living standards.

The report indicated that the improved security environment helped about 5 million internally displaced people return to their areas, while those who remained in the camps were mostly due to housing or civil identity issues.

The UN envoy also touched on what he described as an "important milestone," namely the parliamentary elections held last year, in which the participation rate reached 56%, an increase of 12% over the previous elections, with a wide participation of women who constituted about a third of the candidates.

According to the report, the UNAMI mission was established in 2003 to assist Iraq in its transitional phase after the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime. It went through difficult phases that culminated with the control of large areas of the country by ISIS before its defeat at the end of 2017. The mission ended its work on December 31, 2025, while the United Nations will continue its activities in Iraq under the leadership of Isaac Ze.

The report noted that the new phase of cooperation is based on a five-year development agreement, signed with the Iraqi government on December 25, which constitutes a roadmap to support national priorities, including education, health, economic growth, environmental protection and good governance.

The report also quoted Isaac Zee as saying that the current goal of the United Nations is "to support the social and economic needs of Iraq and to build on what has been achieved over the past two decades," noting that Iraq will contribute to financing the implementation of these programs, in an indication of the development of the partnership and the government's shift from the role of aid recipient to partner and supporter.

The report concluded by noting that the United Nations team in Iraq currently includes 26 agencies, funds and programs of the international organization. link

Tishwash:  The Central Bank of Iraq is the first institution to implement a "programs and performance" budget.

The Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Iraq approved the bank's budget for 2026, based on the program and performance budgeting methodology.

The bank explained in a statement: "Adopting this methodology aims to move from the traditional approach based on expenditure items to a modern approach that focuses on programs, results, and performance indicators, thereby contributing to increased spending efficiency, enhanced transparency and accountability, and supporting performance- and results-based decision-making."

He pointed out that "previous budgets were prepared according to the traditional method adopted by all state institutions," emphasizing that this approach makes the Central Bank of Iraq the first institution in the Iraqi state to implement a program and performance budget, a step that reflects its commitment to adopting the best international practices in managing its financial resources.

The bank explained that "the 2026 budget included strategic programs, institutional development programs, operational programs, in addition to oversight and regulatory programs, which were prepared according to clear programs, specific activities, and measurable performance indicators subject to periodic evaluation, thus contributing to improving the efficiency of plan implementation and achieving optimal resource utilization."

It affirmed that "adopting a program and performance budget is a pivotal step within the financial and administrative reform path pursued by the bank, enhancing the strength and sustainability of institutional performance and keeping pace with modern developments in expenditure management at the regional and international levels."

The Central Bank of Iraq expressed its readiness to provide technical support and training to Iraqi state institutions, assisting them in transitioning from the traditional method of budget preparation to modern, internationally recognized methods, thereby contributing to the development of public financial management and strengthening the principles of efficiency and good governance.  link

Tishwash:  Parliament opens the file on non-oil revenues

With mounting pressure on the public budget and a growing need for long-term economic stability, Iraq is entering a pivotal phase in managing its financial resources. All eyes are on the parliamentary session next Saturday to discuss non-oil revenues. This step comes at a time when policymakers are increasingly aware of the importance of reducing overall dependence on oil and strengthening alternative sources of funding that support public services and protect purchasing power. For the citizens.

MP Dr. Ali Saber Al-Kinani told Al-Sabah: “Opening the file on non-oil revenues is a national necessity,” noting that focusing on these revenues contributes to reducing dependence on oil, which alleviates pressure on monetary policy and strengthens purchasing power. For the citizens. 

He added that the parliamentary debate will provide an opportunity to evaluate the performance of the relevant authorities, improve collection mechanisms, and expand the revenue base from various sources. Diverse.

In this context, MP Alaa Al-Haidari pointed out that boosting non-oil revenues is an important step to address financial imbalances in the general budget, support productive sectors, revitalize industry and agriculture, as well as improve the investment environment and create additional job opportunities, which contributes to strengthening economic and social stability.

As part of the government's efforts to increase non-oil revenues, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, the Prime Minister's advisor on financial affairs, explained that the government program to maximize non-oil revenues contributed to a significant increase in their share last year, as a result of adopting digital governance in the tax and customs sectors. Salih told Al-Sabah newspaper that non-oil revenues rose to approximately 12% of the total 2025 budget, compared to about 7% in previous years. This reflects the government's efforts to improve tax and customs collection and achieve greater financial stability, moving away from total dependence on oil.

Saleh added that this improvement includes multiple categories of revenues, most notably commodity taxes, public sector profits, and customs duties, stressing that the government seeks to raise the percentage of non-oil revenues to about (20%) of the total general budget in the coming years by diversifying sources, improving collection mechanisms, and combating financial evasion.

Iraq Foreign Investments $100B in Three Years

Iraq Foreign Investments $100B in Three Years

Edu Matrix:  1-8-2026

In a significant economic breakthrough, Iraq has attracted over $100 billion in investments over the last three years, marking a record-breaking achievement for the country.

This substantial influx of foreign capital is a promising sign for investors, particularly those with an interest in the Iraqi dinar (IQD), as it has the potential to positively impact the currency’s valuation.

According to recent data from the National Investment Commission, the investments have been channeled into crucial sectors such as power generation, smart grid technologies, large residential developments, and airport infrastructure. These projects are transforming Iraq’s economic landscape, paving the way for a brighter future for the country’s growth and currency potential.

The influx of foreign investment is expected to have a positive impact on the Iraqi economy, driving growth and development in key sectors. As foreign capital flows into the country, it is likely to boost economic activity, create new opportunities, and stimulate job creation. This, in turn, could lead to increased confidence in the Iraqi dinar, potentially strengthening its value against other currencies.

However, despite this promising development, concerns remain regarding Iraq’s ability to manage and regain control of the vast amounts of Iraqi dinars circulating globally. The speaker in a recent video by Edu Matrix highlighted this issue, noting that it remains a major obstacle to currency stabilization. With a large amount of IQD in circulation outside of Iraq, the country’s ability to regulate and manage its currency is compromised, potentially leading to volatility and instability in the foreign exchange market.

To fully capitalize on the benefits of foreign investment and drive economic growth, Iraq will need to address this challenge and implement effective measures to regain control of its currency. This could involve a range of strategies, including improving monetary policy, enhancing currency management, and increasing transparency and oversight.

For investors interested in the Iraqi dinar, this development presents both opportunities and challenges. On one hand, the influx of foreign investment could lead to a stronger IQD, making it an attractive investment opportunity. On the other hand, the risks associated with currency volatility and the challenges of managing a large amount of IQD in circulation globally must be carefully considered.

For further insights and information on this topic, viewers can watch the full video by Edu Matrix, available on their channel. Additional information is also available on their blog, accessible via the link provided in the video description.

As Iraq continues to attract foreign investment and drive economic growth, the potential for the Iraqi dinar to appreciate in value remains a tantalizing prospect for investors. While challenges remain, the country’s record-breaking investment milestone is a significant step towards a brighter economic future.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Thursday Evening 1-8-26

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

By Law. By Responsibility. By Protection of the People.
What Gives the U.S. — and Trump — the Legal Right to Act

Overview

• Presidential authority to act internationally derives from U.S. law, constitutional duty, and established international legal frameworks — not personal power.

• When actions target terrorist organizations, transnational criminal networks, and illicit trafficking, they are classified as lawful enforcement and national security actions, not acts of war.

• The objective is protection, stabilization, and order, while preserving sovereignty and avoiding unnecessary conflict.

Key Developments

• Under Article II of the U.S. Constitution, the President is charged with protecting national security and enforcing federal law.

• U.S. statutes and treaties authorize actions to disrupt drug trafficking, terrorism financing, human trafficking, and illicit resource flows.

• Modern enforcement frameworks distinguish criminal networks from nation-states, allowing targeted action without triggering broad military escalation.

• International cooperation and legal alignment reduce the risk of regional destabilization while restoring internal order.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Currency stability follows lawful enforcement and order.

• Lawful Authority: Actions taken under law create predictability — predictability supports trade, banking, and currency confidence.

• Networks, Not Nations: Targeting criminal systems avoids war-driven economic shocks and capital flight.

• Peace Through Control: Disrupting drugs, trafficking, and illicit finance restores internal stability first.

• Order Before Prosperity: Economic normalization follows enforcement and governance, not chaos.

• No Instant Reset: Legal authority establishes conditions for long-term stability, not immediate revaluation.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Rule of Law: Financial systems depend on lawful authority, not unilateral force.

• Pillar 2 – Stability Before Value: Currency confidence follows security, enforcement, and governance repair.

Key Takeaway

The right to act comes from lawful duty to protect, not aggression — strength is exercised through restraint, precision, and rule of law.

This is not unilateral power — it is structured enforcement designed to preserve stability, trade, and financial order.

Supreme Court and Trump’s Tariffs: What’s Happening and Why It Matters
Legal clarity on executive trade powers could ripple through markets and currencies

Overview

• The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on Friday regarding the legality of sweeping tariffs imposed by President Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

• Prediction markets indicate roughly a 77% probability that the Court may find the tariffs illegal or beyond Congress’s delegated authority.

• Lower courts have already questioned whether the IEEPA allows broad tariffs based solely on executive action.

Key Developments

• Oral arguments raised concerns that emergency powers were applied beyond their original legislative intent.

• A ruling against the tariffs would focus on constitutional limits and legal process, not the efficacy of tariffs as an economic tool.

• Potential outcomes include refund claims for previously collected tariffs and a reshaping of how executive powers may be used in economic policy.

Why It Matters to Currency Holders

Currency and market confidence depend on rule of law and policy predictability.

• Legal Limits on Executive Power: Court review reinforces separation of powers, protecting markets from abrupt policy reversals.

• Trade Certainty: Clear legal authority underpins predictable global trade flows, bolstering currency stability.

• Potential Economic Impact: A ruling against tariffs could affect trade balances, government revenue, and importer liabilities, indirectly impacting currency flows.

• Rule of Law First: Courts determine how authority is exercised — not whether tariffs themselves are economically effective.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Legal Clarity: Strengthening checks and balances maintains financial order and preserves confidence in international commerce.

• Pillar 2 – Policy Predictability: Currency holders benefit from predictable trade and tariff regimes that avoid abrupt shocks.

Key Takeaway

A Supreme Court decision against Trump’s tariffs would signal a process- and authority-focused ruling, not a rejection of tariffs as an economic policy. Lawful clarity strengthens long-term stability, even amid short-term uncertainty.

This is not just a legal ruling — it has direct implications for trade flows, currency confidence, and the structure of executive authority.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Religion vs. Extremism: Why Legal Systems Target Groups, Not Faiths
Counter-terrorism law separates belief from violence to preserve financial and social stability

Overview

• Modern counter-terrorism frameworks do not criminalize religions.

• Legal systems instead designate specific organizations whose actions meet internationally defined criteria for terrorism.

• Extremist groups may use religious language, but designation is based on conduct, not belief.

Key Developments

• Governments and international bodies apply terrorism designations based on violence, coercion, financing, and threat to civilians.

• No religion is designated as a terrorist entity under international law.

• Many Muslim-majority nations publicly condemn extremist groups, emphasizing that violence violates both civil law and religious principles.

• Financial enforcement tools — including sanctions, asset freezes, and banking restrictions — are narrowly targeted to avoid destabilizing societies.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Currency value depends on legal clarity, enforcement precision, and internal stability.

• Legal Precision Matters: Financial actions are applied to organizations, not populations or belief systems.

• Stability Over Ideology: Extremist violence disrupts trade, borders, banking, and currency confidence.

• International Coordination: Shared legal definitions allow enforcement without cultural or religious conflict.

• Internal Peace First: Separating faith from militancy supports domestic order — a prerequisite for currency stability.

• No Broad Labels: Narrow legal definitions prevent economic chaos and misapplication of sanctions.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Rule of Law Enforcement: Financial systems rely on precise legal targeting to maintain confidence.

• Pillar 2 – Social Stability as Economic Foundation: Peace and legal clarity precede currency normalization and growth.

Key Takeaway

Counter-terrorism law targets violent organizations, not religions — preserving social cohesion while dismantling networks that threaten economic and financial order.

This is not about belief — it’s about protecting stability, trade, and currency systems from violent disruption.

Why the History of the Land and Israel Still Matters Today
Order, legitimacy, and stewardship precede lasting prosperity

Overview

• Israel’s connection to the land is rooted in documented lineage, covenantal law, and continuous historical record.

• Across centuries of changing empires and borders, the land remained tied to an identifiable people and legal tradition.

• Possession historically depended not on conquest alone, but on order, law, stewardship, and timing.

Key Developments

• Biblical and historical records consistently frame land inheritance as conditional, not absolute.

• Periods of loss followed breakdowns in law, unity, or stewardship — not permanent forfeiture.

• Restoration occurred only after legal order, governance, and internal alignment were re-established.

• This pattern appears repeatedly across ancient, medieval, and modern history of the region.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Land governance and legitimacy are foundational to economic systems and currency trust.

• Land Precedes Economy: Stable land control enables taxation, trade, infrastructure, and currency confidence.

• Legitimacy Matters: Systems grounded in recognized law and continuity outlast those built on force alone.

• Order Before Inheritance: Historical precedent shows restoration follows legal and institutional repair.

• Peace Within First: Internal unity and governance stability precede durable external peace and economic growth.

• No Instant Outcomes: Restoration — of land, governance, or currency value — follows preparation, not urgency.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Rule of Law: Long-term stability depends on recognized legal frameworks, not raw power.

• Pillar 2 – Order Before Prosperity: Economic normalization follows governance, boundaries, and stewardship.

Key Takeaway

Both biblical and historical records demonstrate that inheritance follows order, not conquest — and stability is established before prosperity.

This is not just ancient history — it’s a living blueprint for how legitimacy, stability, and value endure.

Why Regional Security Enforcement Is Legal Under Modern International Law
Stability, not occupation, underpins lawful economic order

Overview

• Modern international law permits nations to act against terrorist, cartel, and transnational criminal organizations that operate across borders.

• These actions are directed at non-state actors, not territorial conquest or permanent occupation.

• The legal basis rests on regional stability, civilian protection, and safeguarding trade and infrastructure.

Key Developments

• International frameworks recognize the right of states to counter threats that undermine peace, commerce, and financial systems.

• Enforcement actions are typically conducted in coordination with partner nations or under multilateral agreements.

• Today’s approach emphasizes lawful enforcement, intelligence sharing, and limited scope, rather than regime change or annexation.

• This model reflects an evolution away from historical doctrines of conquest toward rules-based security cooperation.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Currency stability depends on order, not chaos.

• Peace Within Comes First: Internal security is a prerequisite for economic activity and currency confidence.

• Lawful Enforcement, Not Occupation: Targeting criminal networks preserves sovereignty while restoring order.

• Trade & Energy Protection: Secure regions protect shipping lanes, pipelines, and lawful commerce.

• Modern Frameworks: Enforcement operates under treaties and cooperation, not unilateral imperial control.

• No Instant Reset: Stabilization prepares systems for normalization; it does not trigger immediate revaluation.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Rule of Law: Economic systems rely on lawful security enforcement to function.

• Pillar 2 – Stability Before Value: Currency normalization follows restored order, not military headlines.

Key Takeaway

Regional security actions today are about protecting stability under law, not asserting control — and stability is a prerequisite for economic and currency confidence.

This is not about expansion — it’s about enforcement, order, and protecting the foundations of global trade and finance.

🌱 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.

“Tidbits From TNT” Thursday 1-8-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Officially, the exchange rate in the 2026 budget is 1300 Iraqi dinars.

The Central Bank of Iraq has decided to adopt an exchange rate of 1,300 dinars for the US dollar in the 2026 budget, according to an official document revealed on Thursday.

 The Central Bank of Iraq sent an official letter to the Ministry of Finance/Budget Department/Current Budget Preparation Section, regarding the determination of the official exchange rate adopted in the draft Federal General Budget Law of the Republic of Iraq for the year 2026.

According to a book issued by the Statistics and Research Department of the Central Bank of Iraq, obtained by Shafaq News Agency, the bank clarified in its book that the official exchange rate that will be adopted in the 2026 budget is 1300 dinars per dollar.

The book indicated that this price has been in effect since February 2023, explaining that it is related to the work of the Central Bank of Iraq.  link

Tishwash:  Iraq's gold reserves remain stable at 170 tons… An expert explains the reasons

The World Gold Council announced on Wednesday that Iraq maintained its global ranking with reserves exceeding 170 tons of gold, without any change.

The council stated in its latest statistics for January, which were reviewed by Shafaq News Agency, that Iraq maintained its 29th position globally out of 100 countries that possess the largest reserves of the precious metal.

He explained that Iraq’s gold reserves amounted to 170.9 tons, equivalent to 22.1% of its total other hard currency reserves, ranking fourth at the Arab level after Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Algeria.

It is worth noting that the World Gold Council, which is based in the United Kingdom, includes the world’s largest gold mining companies and has extensive experience in analyzing market trends and factors affecting the price of the precious metal.

For his part, economist Mohammed Al-Hassani confirmed that data from the World Gold Council showed that Iraq’s gold reserves remained stable without any change, despite the clear fluctuations in global markets, with a number of countries moving to strengthen their gold holdings as a safe haven.

Al-Hassani explained to Shafaq News Agency that this stability reflects a cautious monetary policy followed by the Central Bank of Iraq, which aims to maintain financial stability and avoid buying at high price levels, while keeping the option of moving in the future linked to global market developments and economic conditions.  link

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

Tishwash:  The Iraqi parliament is completing its transitional steps towards reaching the stage of forming a government.

The Iraqi parliament is focusing on completing its transitional steps to make the most of the time until the formation of the next government, by naming its parliamentary committees and their heads, distributing the administrative positions of the council and preparing its monthly agenda, while awaiting the decision on the appointment of the president of the republic and moving to the final stage, which is the assignment of a prime minister and the selection of its members to grant it confidence .

A parliamentary source reported the formation of a joint committee comprising members of the House of Representatives and heads of political blocs, tasked with distributing members among the parliamentary committees .

The source explained to Shafaq News Agency that "these committees will be temporary, and modifications will be made to them later after the formation of the new government ."

This comes in conjunction with intensive parliamentary activity following the start of the sixth electoral session, as MP Mohammed Al-Baldawi, from the Sadiqun parliamentary bloc, stated that the meeting of the Speaker of Parliament with the heads of political blocs, in addition to the second session of the Council, resulted in an agreement to grant a ten-day deadline to the heads of blocs to name and distribute their members to the parliamentary committees .

Al-Baldawi explained to Shafaq News Agency that the number of parliamentary committees currently stands at 25, with a trend to split some of the committees to raise the number to 27, noting that the final decision will be made after the distribution of the representatives and the official approval of the committees within the parliament .

He added that the process of appointing heads of standing committees requires time, and is linked to the formation of the new government and consideration of parliamentary entitlement, provided that the committees are temporarily managed by the oldest members .

In the same context, the First Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Adnan Faihan, stressed in a statement from his office on the sidelines of a meeting he had with the Speaker and his second deputy, the importance of expediting the submission of the names of candidates for the temporary committees, with the need to take into account the criteria of experience, competence, specialization, achieving the legal quorum during meetings, and giving priority to draft laws and proposals that directly affect the lives of citizens .

The statement indicated that the meeting also agreed to form a committee headed by the First Deputy and with the membership of a number of heads of political blocs, which will study the names of the candidates and decide on their distribution among the committees, as well as prepare a monthly agenda for the sessions of the House of Representatives, in a way that contributes to developing legislative performance and strengthening the oversight role of the legislative institution during the current session .

On Monday morning, January 5, Speaker of Parliament Hebat al-Halbousi opened the proceedings of the second session of the first legislative term of the first legislative year of the sixth electoral cycle, after the Council held its first session on December 29, which witnessed the election of al-Halbousi as Speaker of Parliament, Adnan Faihan as First Deputy Speaker, and Farhad al-Atroushi as Second Deputy Speaker .

On another note, a parliamentary source revealed that MPs Ivan Faiq and Kulsal Muhammad will hold the positions of rapporteurs of the House of Representatives during today’s session, without an official decision being issued yet by the parliament’s presidency .

In this context, MP Arshad Al-Salihi announced that he had obtained the approval of the Council Presidency to name MP Kulsal Muhammad Abdul Rahman as the rapporteur of the House of Representatives, stressing that this step comes within the framework of guaranteeing the constitutional entitlements of the Turkmen component .

In parallel, the Independent High Electoral Commission issued its decisions to name a number of replacement candidates who won membership in the House of Representatives for the sixth session in the governorates of Baghdad, Salah al-Din, Diyala, Nineveh, Karbala and Babylon, after auditing the results and legal and technical deliberations, in a step aimed at completing parliamentary representation in accordance with constitutional procedures .

Regarding the presidential file, Speaker of Parliament Hebat al-Halbousi announced that the number of candidates for the position had risen to more than 80, with the closing of the nomination period at the end of official working hours on Monday, noting the diversity of the candidates from various religious and national components .

As for the formation of the government, the forces of the Coordination Framework are continuing their meetings to discuss the mechanism for choosing the new Prime Minister. Leaders in the Framework confirmed that there is no political deadlock, noting progress in the dialogues, pending the completion of the election of the President of the Republic, after which the Framework’s candidate for forming the government will be announced in accordance with the constitutional timeline.  link

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Thursday Morning 1-8-26

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

What Must Exist Before a Currency Revaluation Can Occur
Why stability, infrastructure, and trust always come before valuation change

Overview

• Currency revaluation or normalization does not occur in isolation

• Foundational political, economic, and security conditions must be in place first

• Authorities prioritize order, continuity, and confidence over sudden monetary shifts

Key Developments

• Historically, meaningful currency adjustments occur only after internal stability is established, including enforceable rule of law, secure borders, and functioning state authority.

• Trade and energy security are prerequisites, as uninterrupted shipping routes, energy flows, and export reliability underpin currency demand.

• A functional banking system is essential, including settlement rails, liquidity access, regulatory oversight, and international correspondent banking relationships.

• Market stress is managed before — not during — revaluation, with authorities addressing inflation, commodity volatility, and capital flight risks in advance.

• Public confidence is treated as a strategic asset, requiring predictability and transparency rather than surprise announcements during instability.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, this framework clarifies why revaluation narratives often move faster than reality. Monetary authorities do not use currency revaluation as a tool to create stability — they use it as a reflection of stability already achieved.

Currencies cannot sustainably reprice upward while facing unresolved internal unrest, disrupted trade routes, weak banking rails, or credibility gaps. Any adjustment without these foundations risks capital flight, inflation spikes, and loss of trust, outcomes central banks actively seek to avoid.

Understanding these prerequisites helps currency holders distinguish structural progress from speculation, and patience from misinformation.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1: Stability Before Valuation
  Global monetary restructuring favors orderly transitions anchored in security, governance, and economic continuity.

• Pillar 2: Infrastructure Enables Trust
  Payment systems, banking oversight, and trade logistics are the invisible rails that allow currencies to reprice and hold value.

Key Takeaway

Currency revaluation follows order, stability, and legal clarity — it does not precede them.

This is not about timing a windfall — it’s about understanding how currencies survive and strengthen during global financial restructuring.

Why Banking “Stress” Signals Modernization, Not Immediate Failure
How financial pressure often marks transition — not collapse

Overview

• Banking stress typically reflects structural transition, not system failure

• Oversight mechanisms are designed to preserve continuity and liquidity

• Reform unfolds through regulation, consolidation, and balance-sheet repair

Key Developments

• The U.S. banking system operates under layered oversight, primarily involving the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC, with mandates focused on stability and depositor protection.

• When stress appears, authorities respond with supervision and restructuring, including tighter regulations, forced mergers, capital adjustments, and enhanced risk controls.

• Abrupt shutdowns are not the default response; instead, continuity of payment systems and access to deposits is prioritized.

• Modernization often follows stress events, leading to improved transparency, stronger compliance frameworks, and updated operating rules.

• System integrity is preserved while weak points are corrected, allowing the broader financial architecture to continue functioning.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, banking stress should be interpreted as a signal of adjustment, not disappearance. Currencies depend on functioning settlement rails, liquidity access, and trusted banking infrastructure. Authorities understand that undermining confidence in these systems risks capital flight and market instability.

Rather than triggering an “instant reset,” banking stress events usually support longer-term stability, reinforcing the foundations required for currencies to hold value during global financial restructuring.

In short, stress precedes strengthening, not collapse.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1: Continuity Over Chaos
  Financial systems are redesigned while remaining operational, ensuring confidence and payment continuity.

• Pillar 2: Modernized Infrastructure
  Stress accelerates regulatory upgrades, risk controls, and settlement efficiency — critical for future currency frameworks.

Key Takeaway

Banking stress signals transition and reform — not the disappearance of banking. Stability is maintained while systems are modernized.

This is not a banking collapse — it’s a controlled evolution of the financial system under pressure.

Why Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan Matter During Financial Transitions
Systemically important banks signal stabilization before reform, not collapse

Overview

• Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, leads one of the most systemically important financial institutions in the global banking system.

• During past periods of market stress, JPMorgan has played a central stabilizing role, coordinating with regulators and absorbing weaker institutions.

• Public alignment by major banking leaders with Treasury and Federal Reserve initiatives often signals a shift from competition to system preservation.

Key Developments

• JPMorgan is a designated Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI), meaning it is critical to the functioning of global markets.

• In previous crises, JPMorgan has been used as a shock absorber, stepping in where disorder could have spread.

• When senior banking executives publicly emphasize regulation, oversight, and stability, it typically reflects managed transition planning, not imminent failure.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Foreign currency holders often watch banking leadership closely for early signals of systemic change.

• Systemic Stability First: Major banks are used to prevent disorder while reforms are implemented.

• Regulatory Alignment Signals Transition: Cooperation with regulators indicates preparation for modernization, not collapse.

• Market Confidence Is Protected: Coordinated messaging helps preserve confidence in settlement, custody, and liquidity systems.

• Reform Through Consolidation: Financial transitions historically occur through supervision and consolidation, not overnight bank failures.

• No Instant Reset: Banking cooperation supports gradual restructuring, not sudden currency revaluation events.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Managed Financial Transition: Large institutions anchor stability while structural reforms unfold.

• Pillar 2 – Institutional Continuity: Settlement, custody, and liquidity systems are preserved during modernization phases.

Key Takeaway

When systemically important banks like JPMorgan shift toward regulatory cooperation and stabilization messaging, it usually signals controlled transition and reform, not financial chaos or immediate currency revaluation.

This is not just banking leadership — it’s financial system preservation during structural change.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Thursday Morning 1-8-26

Dollar Surge In Iraq: Why Did The Parallel Market Jump To 148,000 IQD?

IRAQ Jawad Al-Samarraie January 8, 2026   Baghdad — Over the last five days, the Iraqi street has witnessed a state of economic panic as the U.S. dollar surged from 138,000 to 148,500 IQD per $100 in the parallel market. This sharp 10-point jump occurs despite the official exchange rate remaining stable at 132,000 IQD, creating a widening gap that has sparked fears of inflation and a decline in purchasing power.

Financial and economic expert Dr. Abdul Rahman al-Sheikhly explains that the primary driver behind this volatility is the full implementation of the ASYCUDA (Automated System for Customs Data) system, which officially began on January 1, 2026.

The system mandates that traders pay all customs duties upfront before a bank transfer can be processed. In response, many traders have attempted to evade these official channels:

Market Mismatch: Traders are fleeing to the black market to obtain cash dollars to bypass the new digital scrutiny and advance payments.

Border Loopholes: Some border crossings, particularly in the Kurdistan Region, are perceived as less rigid in their application of the system, encouraging a shift in demand away from the central electronic platform.

The anxiety isn’t limited to traders. Citizens have increasingly turned to the dollar as a safe haven for their savings.

Salary Delays: A week-long delay in paying government employees and retirees created a shockwave of fear. This led many to convert their IQD savings into hard currency to hedge against a potential official devaluation.

Rumor Mill: Widespread rumors of a permanent change in the official rate exacerbated the rush, although the government maintains that the situation is under control and the salary delay was a temporary administrative issue.

The parallel market rates as of today show the following levels across major Iraqi hubs:

City        Selling Price (per $100)        Buying Price (per $100)

Baghdad              148,500 IQD           147,500 IQD

Erbil                      147,000 IQD            146,500 IQD

Basra                    148,000 IQD            147,500 IQD

Currency Exchange Rates Today (Thursday, Jan 8, 2026)

Dr. al-Sheikhly advises against randomly pumping dollars into the market, as it fails to address the structural issues. Instead, he proposes:

Strict Import Oversight: Imposing heavier customs penalties on traders who import goods via unofficial transfers rather than using the banking platform.

De-dollarization: Enforcing the use of the Iraqi Dinar for all internal domestic transactions.

Public Transparency: Providing clear communication regarding government policies to neutralize market-distorting rumors.    https://www.iraqinews.com/iraq/iraq-dollar-price-surge-january-2026-asycuda-impact/

Iraq’s Customs Revenues Projected To Reach $7.6 Billion In 2026

IRAQ Amr Salem January 7, 2026   Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Head of the General Authority of Customs’ Valuation Department, Ahmed al-Akeedi, said on Tuesday that the deployment of the ASYCUDA system and the new customs tariff will improve the authority’s earnings.

In a statement to the state-run news agency (INA), al-Akeedi said that Iraqi customs revenues reached 2.5 trillion Iraqi dinars (approximately $1.9 billion) in 2025, an unprecedented milestone in Iraqi customs history and an exceptional achievement.

Revenues are predicted to grow by at least four to six times with the application of the ASYCUDA system and complete compliance with customs rates, perhaps exceeding 10 trillion Iraqi dinars (about $7.63 billion) by the end of 2026, according to al-Akeedi.

Iraq’s Border Ports Commission (BPC) reported in early December an unprecedented increase in customs income, reaching 2.2 trillion Iraqi dinars ($1.68 billion) in 2025.

The BPC said in a statement that the achievement followed a series of measures aiming to simplify operations and improve control.

Iraqi Finance Minister Taif Sami revealed in May that Iraq’s customs revenues grew significantly following the use of an automation initiative.

The step followed the adoption of the Automated System for Customs Data (ASYCUDA), a computerized system created by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) to manage a country’s customs.

Iraq’s BPC started using ASYCUDA in 15 ports across the country as the first phase of a government initiative to efficiently manage the country’s customs and reduce corruption.  https://www.iraqinews.com/iraq/iraqs-customs-revenues-projected-to-reach-7-6-billion-in-2026/

Iraq Stock Exchange’s Monthly Transactions Hit $59.5 Million

IRAQ Amr Salem January 7, 2026   Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraq Stock Exchange (ISX) announced on Wednesday that trading volume during the past month surpassed 78 billion Iraqi dinars (approximately $59.53 million).

According to the ISX, 79 of the 104 companies registered on the market had their shares traded during the course of 20 trading sessions in December, Shafaq News reported.

The stock market recorded 18,173 transactions, where the number of traded shares surpassed 63.67 billion, worth 78.7 billion Iraqi dinars (approximately $60 million).

The ISX60 index finished at 983.31 points, rising 2.92 percent compared to the previous session.

The ISX operates five sessions per week, from Sunday to Thursday, and has 104 listed companies in banking, telecommunications, industry, agriculture, insurance, financial investment, tourism, hotel, and service sectors.

The ISX provides a platform for investors to purchase and sell assets such as equities and bonds.

To trade on the ISX, investors must first create a brokerage account with a licensed brokerage firm.

The ISX allows firms to raise cash by issuing shares, while investors may profit from the listed companies’ financial accomplishments through capital gains and dividends.

The Dollar Stabilizes As Concerns About Venezuela Subside.

Economy News — Follow-up  The dollar held near a two-week high as Asian trading began on Tuesday, with market jitters over U.S. military action in Venezuela easing and dovish comments from Federal Reserve officials encouraging risk-taking on Wall Street.

The dollar index, which measures its performance against a basket of six currencies, stood at 98.36, up 0.04%, after ending a four-day winning streak on Monday.

“The market isn’t really worried about what’s happening geopolitically, at least in the near term,” said Rodrigo Catril, a currency strategist at National Australia Bank in Sydney. He added that this environment “reduces the appeal of safe-haven assets, and we’ve seen the dollar in a difficult position,” according to Reuters.https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=64219

A Sudanese Advisor Explains To "Al-Eqtisad News" The Repercussions Of Fixing The Exchange Rate At 1300 Dinars In The 2026 Budget.

Money and Business     Economy News – Baghdad   The Prime Minister’s Advisor for Economic and Financial Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, revealed on Thursday the impact of the Central Bank of Iraq’s decision to fix the official exchange rate at 1300 dinars in the 2026 budget.

Saleh told Al-Eqtisad News that "the government decided to fix the official exchange rate at 1,300 dinars per US dollar in the 2026 budget project, within the framework of what he described as 'calculated coordination between fiscal and monetary policies'."

He explained that this step represents a limited increase in the value of the Iraqi dinar, and is a positive sign that reflects the strength of the country’s foreign reserves and the ability of monetary policy to confidently maintain stability.

He pointed out that fiscal policy is now moving towards maximizing real revenues, moving away from resorting to what is known as "monetary adjustment," which relies on using the exchange rate as an indirect financing tool, stressing that this trend promotes the use of authentic financial instruments to mobilize resources and control spending.

The advisor stressed that this monetary signal sends a clear message that containing inflation and stabilizing the national economy is a permanent priority, while maintaining the independence of monetary policy, and pushing fiscal policy towards greater efficiency and responsibility, in order to achieve the sustainability of macroeconomic balance in the Iraqi economy.

Earlier today, the Central Bank of Iraq addressed the Ministry of Finance regarding fixing the official exchange rate at 1300 dinars in the 2026 budget.   https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=64316

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

GOLD AND SILVER SURGE — SAFE-HAVEN FLOWS SIGNAL FX STRESS AHEAD
Precious metals rally as investors hedge against policy risk and currency erosion

Overview

• Gold and silver prices climbed sharply as investors increased safe-haven allocations.

• The move reflects rising unease over monetary policy, geopolitics, and sovereign risk rather than short-term speculation.

• Precious metals are once again acting as early warning indicators for currency instability.

Key Developments

• Gold pushed higher amid sustained central-bank buying, particularly from emerging market economies seeking to diversify reserves away from the U.S. dollar.

• Silver outperformed gold on a percentage basis, supported by both safe-haven demand and industrial usage tied to energy transition technologies.

• Bond market volatility and uncertainty over future interest-rate paths encouraged investors to shift from paper assets into tangible stores of value.

• Analysts noted that metals strength is occurring despite relatively firm equity markets, highlighting underlying financial stress.

Why It Matters

Precious metals tend to rise when confidence in fiat systems weakens. The current rally is not driven by crisis headlines alone, but by structural concerns over debt sustainability, geopolitical fragmentation, and policy credibility.

When gold and silver strengthen alongside rising asset prices, it often signals that investors are hedging systemic risk rather than chasing growth.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Gold strength often precedes currency realignments, especially in emerging and heavily indebted economies.

• Silver’s dual role as both industrial metal and monetary hedge highlights pressure points in manufacturing-linked currencies.

• Central-bank accumulation of gold reduces reliance on reserve currencies, subtly reshaping global FX demand.

• Currency holders may face declining purchasing power if metals continue to outperform fiat instruments.

• Hard-asset preference signals declining trust in paper claims, a key dynamic in any monetary transition.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: De-Dollarization Through Reserve Diversification
  Central banks are quietly increasing gold exposure to reduce currency risk.

• Pillar: Hard Assets as Monetary Anchors
  Precious metals are reasserting their role as trust assets amid rising debt and geopolitical uncertainty.

This is not just a metals rally — it’s a confidence shift away from fiat dependency.

Ukraine’s Post-War Reconstruction May Fuel Billion-Dollar European Deals
European investors eye massive infrastructure and energy opportunities

Overview

As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues, the prospect of post-war reconstruction is emerging as a major investment theme. U.S. President Donald Trump has pushed for a rapid ceasefire, Russian President Vladimir Putin seeks to leverage battlefield stalemates, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy coordinates reconstruction planning with European allies.

Over four years of war, Ukraine’s civil infrastructure and economy have been devastated. The World Bank estimated in late 2024 that direct physical damage reached $176 billion, with additional economic losses from reduced output and higher costs potentially totaling $589 billion. Reconstruction over the next decade is projected to cost $524 billion, largely financed by the European Union and private investors, with expectations that European and U.S. companies will secure most contracts.

Sectors to Watch

Investment will focus on:

• Energy infrastructure: Repairing the power grid, building wind and solar farms, and enhancing decentralized renewable energy for resilience against future attacks.

• Housing: Rebuilding residential areas and providing modular construction solutions.

• Transport networks: Roads, bridges, and railways to restore trade and mobility.

European companies like Heidelberg Materials, Holcim, and Siemens Energy have already seen valuations rise due to infrastructure spending in 2025. Mid-sized firms with local production capacity in Poland, Hungary, and neighboring regions may capture early contracts. Examples include Wienerberger, producing bricks and water pipes, and Strabag, Austria’s largest construction firm specializing in roads and railways.

Investment Outlook

Reconstruction represents a multi-billion-dollar opportunity for European investors. Companies supplying materials, energy systems, and transport infrastructure are likely to see surging demand. Key risks include the timing of a ceasefire, ongoing security concerns, regulatory uncertainty, and the stability of Ukraine’s post-conflict economy.

Analysis

Ukraine’s reconstruction could become one of Europe’s largest investment themes in 2026. Mid-sized firms with strategic proximity and specialized expertise may capture outsized growth. Energy resilience, particularly through decentralized renewable technologies, will be central to economic recovery and national security.

Investors entering early, especially in modular construction, renewable energy, and transport infrastructure, could achieve significant returns as Europe channels resources into rebuilding Ukraine.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Eurozone investment flows: Large-scale reconstruction may shift capital into Eastern Europe, influencing euro liquidity and cross-border fund movements.

• Commodity demand impact: Rebuilding requires steel, cement, energy equipment, and other critical materials, potentially affecting global prices.

• Debt and fiscal implications: EU and Ukrainian financing plans could affect sovereign debt markets, risk premiums, and bond yields.

• Geopolitical risk: Any escalation in hostilities could disrupt reconstruction timelines, impacting investor confidence and currency stability.

• Opportunity for hedged positions: Currency and asset managers may benefit from strategically timed exposure to reconstruction-linked sectors.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Strategic Investment in Reconstruction & Energy Security
  Post-war reconstruction in Ukraine highlights how geopolitics and infrastructure development can redirect global capital flows.

• Pillar: Cross-Border Fiscal and Commodity Pressures
  Large-scale rebuilding efforts may influence European bond markets, commodities, and energy imports, shaping international financial and trade networks.

This is not just economics — it’s a test case for European reconstruction finance and strategic resource deployment.

DEBT MARKETS FLASH RED — SOVEREIGN RISK IS BEING REPRICED GLOBALLY
Bond stress signals mounting pressure on fiat currencies and government balance sheets

Overview

• Global bond markets showed renewed stress as investors demanded higher yields to hold sovereign debt.

• The move reflects growing concern over debt sustainability, deficit expansion, and political risk.

• Currency markets are quietly responding as confidence in government-backed paper weakens.

Key Developments

• U.S. Treasury yields pushed higher, particularly at the long end of the curve, signaling investor unease over deficits and fiscal discipline.

• European government bonds faced selling pressure, especially in highly indebted member states, as refinancing risks increased.

• Emerging market debt spreads widened, indicating rising default risk and reduced appetite for riskier sovereign exposure.

• Analysts noted that bond market stress is occurring despite official reassurances, suggesting markets are no longer fully trusting policy messaging.

Why It Matters

Government bonds form the foundation of the global financial system. When yields rise rapidly, it signals that investors are pricing in greater risk of inflation, monetization, or outright fiscal strain.

This shift increases borrowing costs for governments, limits policy flexibility, and raises the likelihood of currency debasement as deficits are financed indirectly through monetary channels.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Rising sovereign yields often precede currency weakness, particularly in high-debt nations.

• Bond sell-offs reduce foreign demand for local currencies, accelerating capital outflows.

• Debt-heavy countries may resort to inflationary policies, eroding purchasing power.

• FX volatility tends to follow bond market stress, not lead it.

• Currency holders are exposed when confidence in “risk-free” assets breaks down.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: End of Risk-Free Sovereign Debt
  Markets are increasingly questioning the safety of government obligations.

• Pillar: Fiscal Dominance Over Monetary Policy
  Governments may pressure central banks to prioritize debt servicing over currency stability.

This is not a routine bond move — it’s a warning shot across the global fiat system.

PAYMENTS AND BANKING SHAKE-UP — DIGITAL RAILS ACCELERATE AMID TRUST CRISIS
Investors and governments pivot as confidence in traditional banking infrastructure falters

Overview

• Global payments and banking systems are undergoing rapid change, with digital and alternative rails gaining momentum.

• Concerns over fiat stability, banking stress, and geopolitical risk are driving corporates, central banks, and investors toward new settlement technologies.

• Adoption of digital currencies, tokenized assets, and cross-border fintech solutions is rising, reflecting growing dissatisfaction with traditional systems.

Key Developments

• Major central banks are testing or expanding digital currency pilots, aiming to reduce reliance on the dollar-dominated SWIFT network.

• Private-sector digital payment networks are seeing record volumes as multinational corporations hedge against currency and settlement risk.

• Geopolitical tensions are accelerating decentralization, with nations exploring regional or bilateral payment arrangements outside conventional financial channels.

• Analysts highlight that regulatory uncertainty remains high, but urgency among FX managers and treasury departments is rising to avoid exposure to legacy-system failures.

Why It Matters

The stability of cross-border payments underpins global trade and finance. As traditional rails face disruption from geopolitical and debt stress, currency holders may experience delays, devaluation risk, and diminished access to liquidity.

Digital and alternative payments could redefine settlement hierarchies, weaken reliance on single reserve currencies, and expose legacy banks to solvency and operational stress.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• FX liquidity risk is rising as traditional rails are strained by political, banking, or systemic shocks.

• Digital currencies and alternative rails offer hedging options, but may also concentrate new forms of counterparty risk.

• Hedging strategies must evolve to account for currency volatility stemming from settlement disruptions.

• Early adoption of non-traditional payment methods may protect purchasing power, particularly for exposed emerging-market FX.

• Currency holders need to monitor central bank digital currency (CBDC) rollouts, as these could reshape the global liquidity landscape.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Payment System Fragmentation
  Alternative rails and regional digital currencies challenge dollar dominance and legacy infrastructure.

• Pillar: Technological Sovereignty
  Nations are racing to maintain control over domestic and cross-border payment flows, signaling a shift toward multipolar financial architecture. 

This is not just fintech innovation — it’s the structural evolution of global currency flows.

GLOBAL MARKETS RALLY AS METALS LEAD — CURRENCIES FACE A QUIET WARNING
Risk assets rise, but real assets quietly send a different signal

Overview

• Global equity markets advanced over the past 24 hours, led by U.S. and European stocks as investors rotated into materials and technology.

• Industrial and precious metals outperformed, while energy prices lagged, creating a notable divergence inside the commodity complex.

• Bond yields were mixed, reflecting uncertainty around inflation persistence and central bank timing rather than confidence.

Key Developments

• Global stock indices climbed, with risk appetite returning despite unresolved geopolitical and debt concerns.

• Metals including silver, platinum, palladium, and nickel strengthened, pointing to tightening physical supply and industrial demand.

• Oil underperformed, suggesting markets are prioritizing strategic materials over traditional energy in near-term positioning.

• Currencies remained relatively stable, masking deeper shifts happening beneath the surface.

Why It Matters
While equities suggest calm, metals are signaling structural stress. Markets often telegraph systemic changes through hard assets first, not currencies or stocks. This divergence suggests investors are hedging against long-term inflation, supply disruption, and fiat currency dilution, even as headline indices remain strong.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
For currency holders, this setup is critical:

• Strength in metals alongside stable currencies often precedes future currency repricing.

• Hard-asset accumulation signals declining confidence in paper value preservation, even when FX markets appear orderly.

• Foreign currencies tied to commodity production may quietly strengthen, while purely debt-backed currencies face longer-term pressure.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1: Hard Assets Are Front-Running Policy Shifts
  Metals often move before currencies adjust, acting as early warning indicators of monetary stress.

• Pillar 2: Surface Stability Masks Structural Change
  Equity optimism does not negate deeper realignment underway in resource valuation and capital protection strategies.

This is not just market optimism — it’s asset re-prioritization before currency adjustment.

Yemen Separatist Leader Flees, Riyadh Talks in Doubt — Gulf Rift Deepens
STC chief’s disappearance undermines peace efforts and destabilises anti‑Houthi coalition

Overview

The leader of Yemen’s Southern Transitional Council (STC), Aidarous al‑Zubaidi, failed to board a flight to Riyadh for crisis talks and fled to an unknown location, raising doubts about Gulf efforts to resolve the southern conflict. The Saudi‑backed coalition reported that intelligence suggested he mobilised armed forces before disappearing, intensifying fractures between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and threatening the cohesion of the alliance fighting the Iran‑aligned Houthi movement. 

Saudi‑led forces also conducted airstrikes in southern governorates amid the crisis, as political leaders in Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council stripped Zubaidi of his membership and referred him to prosecutors on charges including high treason and armed rebellion. 

Key Developments

• Zubaidi did not board a scheduled flight to Riyadh, eluding peace negotiations aimed at resolving the southern crisis and easing tensions among Gulf backers. 

• Saudi‑backed authorities accused him of mobilising forces, raising concerns the situation could escalate into further conflict. 

• Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council expelled Zubaidi from its ranks, accusing him of treason and armed rebellion. 

• Airstrikes hit multiple southern areas, including his home province, after the leadership vacuum emerged. 

• The crisis reflects a deepening rift between Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which back different factions in Yemen’s complex civil war. 

Why It Matters

Zubaidi’s disappearance jeopardises one of the few diplomatic pathways toward de‑escalation in Yemen’s prolonged conflict. The crisis highlights how internal Gulf Power rivalries — especially between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi — are directly impacting regional stability, weakening the anti‑Houthi coalition and increasing the risk of renewed fighting in the south.

This fragmentation also undermines diplomatic leverage against the Iran‑aligned Houthis and complicates any unified negotiation with external powers invested in Middle Eastern peace efforts.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Political fragmentation and rising conflict risk increase sovereign and credit risk premiums in Middle Eastern financial markets, affecting currencies regionally.

• Escalation in Yemen may influence oil price volatility, given Saudi Arabia and UAE’s central roles in global energy markets.

• Gulf cooperation breakdown can dampen investor confidence in regional economic stability, pressuring currency and capital flows.

• Currency markets tend to price geopolitical risk ahead of formal conflict, potentially strengthening safe‑haven assets over Gulf‑pegged and emerging currencies.

• Broader regional instability could accelerate shifts in reserve allocations, as central banks hedge against concentrated geopolitical exposure.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Geopolitical Divergence and Finance Stress
  Fragmentation among key oil producers complicates economic coordination and undermines confidence in regional currency pegs and trade arrangements.

• Pillar: Conflict‑Driven Market Repricing
  Renewed risk in the Arabian Peninsula increases the likelihood that foreign exchange markets will reprioritise across assets and regions, not just within traditional safe havens.

This is not just Middle East politics — it’s a structural shock with currency and financial implications.

COPPER AT RECORD HIGHS — A CURRENCY SIGNAL MOST MARKETS IGNORE
Industrial metal surges point to deeper stress in global trade and currency dynamics

Overview

• Copper prices have reached all-time highs, driven by tightening supply and robust demand from industrial and clean-energy sectors.

• Structural deficits in refined copper markets are beginning to influence capital flows and asset allocation decisions.

• The metal’s strength highlights emerging stress in industrial inputs even as broader market indicators show mixed signals.

Key Developments

• Copper climbed above its previous record price, reflecting constrained supply from major producers and bottlenecks in refining capacity.

• Demand from sectors such as electric vehicles, renewable energy infrastructure, semiconductors, and AI hardware has intensified competition for limited copper.

• Inventory data shows stockpiles are declining sharply at major exchanges, indicating real physical tightening — not just paper trading momentum.

• Traders cited geopolitical concerns as another driver of risk premiums, with East-West tensions and trade policy uncertainty feeding into commodity markets.

Why It Matters

Copper is widely considered the bellwether of the global economy because of its pervasive use in industrial production. When copper prices surge on structural deficits rather than cyclical demand, it signals a deeper imbalance between hard-asset demand and the capacity of financial systems to distribute real goods.

For global finance, this is not just about metal — it’s about the ability of fiat liquidity to support real-world industrial growth. Persistent tightness in base metals suggests limits to the effectiveness of policy stimulus alone.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Currencies of commodity-exporting economies may strengthen as resource scarcity boosts export receipts and trade balances.

• Industrial input shocks feed into inflation expectations, pressuring central banks and FX valuation models.

• Metal price spikes can trigger currency hedging behavior, with investors seeking real asset linkage over pure fiat exposure.

• Reserve managers may increase allocations to hard-asset proxies, recalibrating risk across sovereign holdings.

• Persistent structural deficits in commodities reflect supply fragility, influencing long-term currency stability expectations.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Resource Scarcity as a Financial Engine
  Hard assets like copper are increasingly central to capital flows, beyond their industrial application.

• Pillar: FX Volatility from Real-World Stress
  Metals tightening and currency repricing go hand-in-hand, exposing vulnerabilities in paper-based monetary systems.

This is not just a commodities rally — it’s an early warning signal for currency repricing.

Trump Freezes $10B in Family Aid to Five States — Political Fallout Threatens Social Programs
Federal funding freeze raises civil rights and political concerns in blue states

Overview

The Trump administration has frozen more than $10 billion in federal childcare and family assistance funds for California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) cited concerns about alleged fraud and misuse as justification for the action, affecting the following programs:

• Child Care and Development Fund: $2.4 billion

• Temporary Assistance for Needy Families: $7.35 billion

• Social Services Block Grant: $869 million

Funds will remain restricted pending investigation and review.

Why It Matters

The freeze echoes previous tensions between the federal government and Democratic-led states, raising concerns that political affiliation may influence access to vital social programs. Families dependent on childcare, nutrition, and welfare services could face immediate disruptions, while immigrant communities, particularly in Minnesota, report being singled out in fraud allegations.

The action also highlights the intersection of federal funding, partisan politics, and civil rights, with potential legal challenges on the horizon. Observers view the freeze as both a fraud-prevention measure and a signal to states regarding compliance and federal oversight.

Key Actors

• Trump administration/HHS: Acting to investigate potential fraud and misuse.

• State governments (CA, CO, IL, MN, NY): Facing challenges maintaining programs while defending against allegations.

• Residents and beneficiaries: At risk of short-term service disruptions.

• Immigrant communities: Particularly impacted in Minnesota, raising civil rights concerns.

• Democratic leaders: Governors and lawmakers decry the freeze as politically motivated.

Analysis

The funding freeze demonstrates the politicization of federal aid under the Trump administration. While framed as protecting taxpayer dollars, the targeting of blue states and vulnerable populations suggests partisan motivations.

For families and children, the freeze threatens immediate program stability. For the administration, it consolidates messaging around fraud prevention and immigrant oversight, potentially pressuring other states to comply with federal guidance. The broader implications signal a new battleground for civil rights, federal-state relations, and political leverage over social programs.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Potential state-level fiscal stress: Disruptions in aid programs could force states to reallocate budgets, impacting municipal bonds and state-backed securities.

• Investor caution: Political instability around federal funding may increase risk premiums on U.S. debt and municipal instruments.

• Dollar stability considerations: Widening political disputes over social spending and federal authority could influence market perception of U.S. policy reliability.

• Policy precedent: Other federal interventions in state funding may create uncertainty for long-term fiscal planning and cross-state capital flows.

• Civil unrest risk: Any escalation in protests or legal disputes could indirectly affect economic confidence and short-term capital movements.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Domestic Political Risk and Financial Confidence
  U.S. internal political conflicts increasingly affect global investors’ perceptions of stability, influencing currency and capital flow decisions.

• Pillar: Sovereign and Subnational Debt Vulnerability
  Federal funding disputes highlight the fragility of municipal and state-level finances, which could trigger market repricing of U.S.-linked debt instruments.

This is not just domestic politics — it has tangible implications for U.S. financial stability and currency flows.

GLOBAL MARKETS RALLY AS METALS LEAD — CURRENCIES FACE A QUIET WARNING
Risk assets rise, but real assets quietly send a different signal

Overview

• Global equity markets advanced over the past 24 hours, led by U.S. and European stocks as investors rotated into materials and technology.

• Industrial and precious metals outperformed, while energy prices lagged, creating a notable divergence inside the commodity complex.

• Bond yields were mixed, reflecting uncertainty around inflation persistence and central bank timing rather than confidence.

Key Developments

• Global stock indices climbed, with risk appetite returning despite unresolved geopolitical and debt concerns.

• Metals including silver, platinum, palladium, and nickel strengthened, pointing to tightening physical supply and industrial demand.

• Oil underperformed, suggesting markets are prioritizing strategic materials over traditional energy in near-term positioning.

• Currencies remained relatively stable, masking deeper shifts happening beneath the surface.

Why It Matters
While equities suggest calm, metals are signaling structural stress. Markets often telegraph systemic changes through hard assets first, not currencies or stocks. This divergence suggests investors are hedging against long-term inflation, supply disruption, and fiat currency dilution, even as headline indices remain strong.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
For currency holders, this setup is critical:

• Strength in metals alongside stable currencies often precedes future currency repricing.

• Hard-asset accumulation signals declining confidence in paper value preservation, even when FX markets appear orderly.

• Foreign currencies tied to commodity production may quietly strengthen, while purely debt-backed currencies face longer-term pressure.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1: Hard Assets Are Front-Running Policy Shifts
  Metals often move before currencies adjust, acting as early warning indicators of monetary stress.

• Pillar 2: Surface Stability Masks Structural Change
  Equity optimism does not negate deeper realignment underway in resource valuation and capital protection strategies.

This is not just market optimism — it’s asset re-prioritization before currency adjustment.

Yemen Separatist Leader Flees, Riyadh Talks in Doubt — Gulf Rift Deepens
STC chief’s disappearance undermines peace efforts and destabilises anti‑Houthi coalition

Overview

The leader of Yemen’s Southern Transitional Council (STC), Aidarous al‑Zubaidi, failed to board a flight to Riyadh for crisis talks and fled to an unknown location, raising doubts about Gulf efforts to resolve the southern conflict. The Saudi‑backed coalition reported that intelligence suggested he mobilised armed forces before disappearing, intensifying fractures between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and threatening the cohesion of the alliance fighting the Iran‑aligned Houthi movement. 

Saudi‑led forces also conducted airstrikes in southern governorates amid the crisis, as political leaders in Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council stripped Zubaidi of his membership and referred him to prosecutors on charges including high treason and armed rebellion. 

Key Developments

• Zubaidi did not board a scheduled flight to Riyadh, eluding peace negotiations aimed at resolving the southern crisis and easing tensions among Gulf backers. 

• Saudi‑backed authorities accused him of mobilising forces, raising concerns the situation could escalate into further conflict. 

• Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council expelled Zubaidi from its ranks, accusing him of treason and armed rebellion. 

• Airstrikes hit multiple southern areas, including his home province, after the leadership vacuum emerged. 

• The crisis reflects a deepening rift between Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which back different factions in Yemen’s complex civil war. 

Why It Matters

Zubaidi’s disappearance jeopardises one of the few diplomatic pathways toward de‑escalation in Yemen’s prolonged conflict. The crisis highlights how internal Gulf Power rivalries — especially between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi — are directly impacting regional stability, weakening the anti‑Houthi coalition and increasing the risk of renewed fighting in the south.

This fragmentation also undermines diplomatic leverage against the Iran‑aligned Houthis and complicates any unified negotiation with external powers invested in Middle Eastern peace efforts.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Political fragmentation and rising conflict risk increase sovereign and credit risk premiums in Middle Eastern financial markets, affecting currencies regionally.

• Escalation in Yemen may influence oil price volatility, given Saudi Arabia and UAE’s central roles in global energy markets.

• Gulf cooperation breakdown can dampen investor confidence in regional economic stability, pressuring currency and capital flows.

• Currency markets tend to price geopolitical risk ahead of formal conflict, potentially strengthening safe‑haven assets over Gulf‑pegged and emerging currencies.

• Broader regional instability could accelerate shifts in reserve allocations, as central banks hedge against concentrated geopolitical exposure.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Geopolitical Divergence and Finance Stress
  Fragmentation among key oil producers complicates economic coordination and undermines confidence in regional currency pegs and trade arrangements.

• Pillar: Conflict‑Driven Market Repricing
  Renewed risk in the Arabian Peninsula increases the likelihood that foreign exchange markets will reprioritise across assets and regions, not just within traditional safe havens.

This is not just Middle East politics — it’s a structural shock with currency and financial implications.

COPPER AT RECORD HIGHS — A CURRENCY SIGNAL MOST MARKETS IGNORE
Industrial metal surges point to deeper stress in global trade and currency dynamics

Overview

• Copper prices have reached all-time highs, driven by tightening supply and robust demand from industrial and clean-energy sectors.

• Structural deficits in refined copper markets are beginning to influence capital flows and asset allocation decisions.

• The metal’s strength highlights emerging stress in industrial inputs even as broader market indicators show mixed signals.

Key Developments

• Copper climbed above its previous record price, reflecting constrained supply from major producers and bottlenecks in refining capacity.

• Demand from sectors such as electric vehicles, renewable energy infrastructure, semiconductors, and AI hardware has intensified competition for limited copper.

• Inventory data shows stockpiles are declining sharply at major exchanges, indicating real physical tightening — not just paper trading momentum.

• Traders cited geopolitical concerns as another driver of risk premiums, with East-West tensions and trade policy uncertainty feeding into commodity markets.

Why It Matters

Copper is widely considered the bellwether of the global economy because of its pervasive use in industrial production. When copper prices surge on structural deficits rather than cyclical demand, it signals a deeper imbalance between hard-asset demand and the capacity of financial systems to distribute real goods.

For global finance, this is not just about metal — it’s about the ability of fiat liquidity to support real-world industrial growth. Persistent tightness in base metals suggests limits to the effectiveness of policy stimulus alone.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Currencies of commodity-exporting economies may strengthen as resource scarcity boosts export receipts and trade balances.

• Industrial input shocks feed into inflation expectations, pressuring central banks and FX valuation models.

• Metal price spikes can trigger currency hedging behavior, with investors seeking real asset linkage over pure fiat exposure.

• Reserve managers may increase allocations to hard-asset proxies, recalibrating risk across sovereign holdings.

• Persistent structural deficits in commodities reflect supply fragility, influencing long-term currency stability expectations.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Resource Scarcity as a Financial Engine
  Hard assets like copper are increasingly central to capital flows, beyond their industrial application.

• Pillar: FX Volatility from Real-World Stress
  Metals tightening and currency repricing go hand-in-hand, exposing vulnerabilities in paper-based monetary systems.

This is not just a commodities rally — it’s an early warning signal for currency repricing.

Trump Freezes $10B in Family Aid to Five States — Political Fallout Threatens Social Programs
Federal funding freeze raises civil rights and political concerns in blue states

Overview

The Trump administration has frozen more than $10 billion in federal childcare and family assistance funds for California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) cited concerns about alleged fraud and misuse as justification for the action, affecting the following programs:

• Child Care and Development Fund: $2.4 billion

• Temporary Assistance for Needy Families: $7.35 billion

• Social Services Block Grant: $869 million

Funds will remain restricted pending investigation and review.

Why It Matters

The freeze echoes previous tensions between the federal government and Democratic-led states, raising concerns that political affiliation may influence access to vital social programs. Families dependent on childcare, nutrition, and welfare services could face immediate disruptions, while immigrant communities, particularly in Minnesota, report being singled out in fraud allegations.

The action also highlights the intersection of federal funding, partisan politics, and civil rights, with potential legal challenges on the horizon. Observers view the freeze as both a fraud-prevention measure and a signal to states regarding compliance and federal oversight.

Key Actors

• Trump administration/HHS: Acting to investigate potential fraud and misuse.

• State governments (CA, CO, IL, MN, NY): Facing challenges maintaining programs while defending against allegations.

• Residents and beneficiaries: At risk of short-term service disruptions.

• Immigrant communities: Particularly impacted in Minnesota, raising civil rights concerns.

• Democratic leaders: Governors and lawmakers decry the freeze as politically motivated.

Analysis

The funding freeze demonstrates the politicization of federal aid under the Trump administration. While framed as protecting taxpayer dollars, the targeting of blue states and vulnerable populations suggests partisan motivations.

For families and children, the freeze threatens immediate program stability. For the administration, it consolidates messaging around fraud prevention and immigrant oversight, potentially pressuring other states to comply with federal guidance. The broader implications signal a new battleground for civil rights, federal-state relations, and political leverage over social programs.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Potential state-level fiscal stress: Disruptions in aid programs could force states to reallocate budgets, impacting municipal bonds and state-backed securities.

• Investor caution: Political instability around federal funding may increase risk premiums on U.S. debt and municipal instruments.

• Dollar stability considerations: Widening political disputes over social spending and federal authority could influence market perception of U.S. policy reliability.

• Policy precedent: Other federal interventions in state funding may create uncertainty for long-term fiscal planning and cross-state capital flows.

• Civil unrest risk: Any escalation in protests or legal disputes could indirectly affect economic confidence and short-term capital movements.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Domestic Political Risk and Financial Confidence
  U.S. internal political conflicts increasingly affect global investors’ perceptions of stability, influencing currency and capital flow decisions.

• Pillar: Sovereign and Subnational Debt Vulnerability
  Federal funding disputes highlight the fragility of municipal and state-level finances, which could trigger market repricing of U.S.-linked debt instruments.

This is not just domestic politics — it has tangible implications for U.S. financial stability and currency flows.
