Gold’s Surge Against Fiat Currencies as Preparation for GCR and RV

Gold’s Surge Against Fiat Currencies as Preparation for GCR and RV

Awake-In-3D   November 21, 2024

The transition to a gold-backed financial system is accelerating, with gold’s surge leading the charge against weakening fiat currencies.

Gold is steadily rising as a dominant force in the global financial system, signaling transformative changes ahead. As fiat currencies falter under the weight of inflation, debt, and instability, gold’s strength is no coincidence. Gold’s surge is not just a reaction to market conditions but a clear preparation for a Global Currency Reset (GCR) and Revaluation (RV). This pivotal transition to gold-backed currencies offers a glimpse of a more stable and equitable monetary future.

Gold’s Surge Against Fiat Currencies as Preparation for GCR and RV

Awake-In-3D   November 21, 2024

The transition to a gold-backed financial system is accelerating, with gold’s surge leading the charge against weakening fiat currencies.

Gold is steadily rising as a dominant force in the global financial system, signaling transformative changes ahead. As fiat currencies falter under the weight of inflation, debt, and instability, gold’s strength is no coincidence. Gold’s surge is not just a reaction to market conditions but a clear preparation for a Global Currency Reset (GCR) and Revaluation (RV). This pivotal transition to gold-backed currencies offers a glimpse of a more stable and equitable monetary future.

The Historic Relationship Between Gold and Fiat Currencies

Gold has long been regarded as a universal hedge against economic turmoil. Historically, fiat currencies have operated inversely to gold; stronger fiat currencies typically suppress demand for gold, while higher Treasury yields raise the opportunity cost of holding the metal. Yet, as noted in recent market trends, this inverse relationship is breaking down. Even as the US Dollar Index ($DXY) and the 10-year Treasury yields climb, gold’s surge is defying expectations.

This resilience suggests that gold is re-establishing its role as the ultimate measure of monetary value. As fiat currencies around the globe grapple with inflation, debt burdens, and economic instability, the idea of revaluing national currencies against an asset-backed standard—where gold plays a central role—has re-emerged as a serious consideration.

Gold’s Surge is a Sign of a Global Currency Transition

Inflationary Pressures and the Role of Gold

One driving factor behind gold’s sustained strength is the market’s anticipation of rising inflation. Recent indicators, such as a 1-month annualized PCE inflation rate approaching 4%, indicate that the current wave of inflation is far from over. Traditionally, gold serves as a hedge against inflation, but in this context, gold’s surge also serves as a benchmark for the diminishing purchasing power of fiat currencies.

By maintaining its value while fiat currencies face devaluation, gold effectively re-establishes its worth relative to these currencies. This recalibration hints at an eventual restructuring of currency systems to include gold-backed currencies, a foundational component of the GCR.

Trade Wars and Global Economic Realignments

The rising tensions between the United States and China, marked by anticipated new trade tariffs, have also bolstered gold’s appeal. Trade wars destabilize fiat currencies by introducing volatility and reducing investor confidence. The last major trade conflict in 2019 caused a significant shift in global currency dynamics, and the current trajectory indicates similar disruptions.

Gold’s surge highlights its increasing role as a stabilizing asset during geopolitical disruptions. As nations consider realigning their currencies with tangible assets to protect against such volatility, gold-backed currencies become a natural choice. These dynamics echo preparations for the RV, where currencies are revalued based on tangible reserves and economic fundamentals.

US Deficit Spending and Its Implications

The United States is currently running a deficit of nearly 10% of GDP, levels not seen since the 2008 financial crisis. This surge in borrowing has flooded bond markets with supply, driving yields higher and causing uncertainty about the long-term sustainability of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.

Gold’s concurrent rise indicates that markets are already pricing in a loss of confidence in fiat currencies tied to ballooning debt. As deficits climb and the need for monetary reform grows, gold’s surge reinforces the likelihood of a move toward gold-backed currencies. This transformation aligns with the broader goals of the GCR and RV: to stabilize global monetary systems and restore trust in the value of currencies.

Fiat Currencies Revaluing Against Gold

The current market dynamics suggest that many fiat currencies are implicitly undergoing a devaluation process relative to gold. While this shift is not yet formalized, it reflects an acknowledgment of gold’s enduring value in contrast to the declining worth of paper money. This trend is particularly evident in:

  • Emerging Markets: Nations with struggling currencies, such as Argentina and Turkey, have seen gold demand skyrocket as citizens seek to protect their wealth from inflation and devaluation.

  • Central Bank Policies: Central banks worldwide are increasing their gold reserves, a move that signals a strategic pivot toward asset-backed financial systems. Countries like Russia, China, and India have been particularly aggressive in their gold acquisitions, preparing for a potential rebalancing of the global currency hierarchy.

As these patterns unfold, fiat currencies are effectively being measured and adjusted against gold’s surge, setting the stage for an eventual revaluation within the GCR framework.

Gold’s Surge and the Path Toward Gold-Backed Currencies

The notion of asset-backed currencies, particularly those tied to gold, has gained traction in recent years. Under this system, fiat currencies derive their value from tangible reserves, providing a more stable and transparent monetary foundation. Such a shift addresses many of the systemic issues plaguing the current fiat system, including unchecked debt accumulation, inflationary pressures, and currency manipulation.

In the context of the RV, this transition recalibrates national currencies to reflect their gold and tangible asset reserves. For example:

  • Nations with substantial gold reserves, like the United States and China, will see their currencies strengthened.

  • Countries with weaker reserves may experience devaluations but gain stability through a more balanced and equitable system.

The Implications of a Gold-Backed Reset

As gold continues its historic run, its role in the global monetary system is being reconsidered. Whether through formal policy changes or implicit market adjustments, fiat currencies are realigning against gold’s surge in preparation for what could be a transformative GCR and RV.

The benefits of such a reset are manifold:

  • Stabilized Currency Values: Anchoring currencies to gold reduces the volatility and inflationary risks inherent in fiat systems.

  • Restored Global Trust: An asset-backed system enhances transparency and trust in international monetary policies.

  • Enhanced Economic Equilibrium: By basing currency values on tangible reserves, the global economy achieves a more equitable and sustainable balance.

The Bottom Line

The rising price of gold is more than just a reaction to market conditions; it signals deeper shifts in the global financial order. As fiat currencies lose ground to inflation, debt, and geopolitical uncertainty, gold’s surge demonstrates its position as a definitive measure of monetary value.

In the context of the GCR and RV, this trend indicates that a transition to gold-backed currencies is not just probable but imminent. The revaluation of fiat currencies against gold represents a pivotal step toward restoring stability, trust, and fairness in the global monetary system. Gold’s historic strength today is poised to redefine the financial landscape for years to come.

Tishwash:  Because it contains a political aspect.. Parliamentary Wealth: The Oil and Gas Law faces difficulties

Member of the Parliamentary Oil, Gas and Resources Committee, Ali Abdul Sattar, confirmed today, Thursday, that the Oil and Gas Law has been facing difficulties since 2008. 

Abdul Sattar told Al-Maalouma Agency, “The oil and gas law faces difficulties within the House of Representatives because it contains a political aspect between the region and the center.” 

He added that "the law regulates financial matters and oil management for all governorates, especially the governorates producing oil and gas," noting that "the reason for the law's suspension is that it contains points of contention with the region."

He explained that "the law is still in the government's registry and has not been sent to the House of Representatives, despite the ongoing dialogues and discussions between the Baghdad government and the regional government." 

He added, "The dispute is still ongoing between Baghdad and Erbil over the oil file, and we are waiting for it to be resolved and for the law to be sent to the House of Representatives for discussion and approval."  link

Tishwash:  Economist: Government should exploit rising oil prices and implement sound financial management

An economic expert called on the government to exploit the circumstances of rising oil prices and implement sound financial management.

Rashid Al-Saadi told Al-Furat News Agency: "The rise in global oil prices is due to the impact of political circumstances. With the intensification of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the challenges facing the region, in addition to the decision of the International Criminal Court regarding Netanyahu and his Minister of War, and Israel's threats to Iraq and the pressure in the region, oil importing companies are being prompted to take precautions and be careful, and the political and security factor is the decisive and influential factor in the rise in oil prices."

He explained that "Iraq's benefit from this rise is that every dollar in which oil rises serves Iraq by no less than a billion dollars annually and strengthens its budget according to the size of its production."
Al-Saadi stressed, "The government must exploit the circumstances and the rise, because as soon as there is stability in the near or distant future, oil prices may drop significantly. This is a call for the government to manage the state's finances in a rational manner."   link

Tishwash:  Dollar-Dinar Exchange Rate Gap: Causes and Treatments 

Iraq relies in its monetary policy to monitor the change in the value of its dinar against the dollar on a fixed exchange rate peg system, as the overall policy aims

to reduce the gap between the official and actual exchange rates and stabilize it close to the target exchange rate, curbing inflation, stimulating markets, commercial, financial and investment transactions, and stimulating growth.

Therefore, reducing the exchange gap at the target exchange rate level is one of the prominent issues facing the economic policy maker in Iraq in order to limit the major repercussions that go beyond the economic scope and crystallize significantly in the social stability of the country.

This gap becomes more evident through the variation in the dollar exchange rates and the fluctuation of the real value of the dinar, either positively generating revenue or negatively generating additional costs that cause repercussions on purchasing power without taking into account individuals and economic units, negatively affecting local and foreign savings and investment. The more the gap varies, the greater the economic cost of investment and the higher the levels of inflation, which increases the suffering of the limited-income family sector.

It has become known that the size of the Iraqi economy's GDP depends very heavily on the oil dollar, which is the main source of the Ministry of Finance's resources, instead of the non-oil dollar, which is called the non-oil export dollar, which has very low flexibility, resulting in a sharp decline in credit deposits in the accounts of traders exporting goods in Iraqi banks in exporting countries.

This dependence exposes the exchange gap to fluctuations in the global oil market. When global oil prices rise, we witness a decrease in the exchange gap due to the increase in the supply of the dollar, while in contrast, during periods of economic recession or when oil prices fall, the gap increases significantly when the government is unable to provide an adequate supply of dollars in the official window for buying and selling dollars. In such cases, traders are forced to search for alternatives through the parallel market, which exacerbates price pressures on the weakest groups.

Referring to the reasons that widened the exchange gap, they are multiple. In addition to what was mentioned above, the reasons can be traced according to the axis of indirect reasons that are linked to the country's trade policy and the problems of border crossings related to dollar smuggling, including those related to activating the role of crossings as an authentic source of revenue. There are also indirect reasons that have a political and security nature and medium- and long-term repercussions on the movement of money and investment.

While economic and monetary reasons stand out at the forefront of direct or technical reasons, some of them are related to the nature of the banking system and the extent of its credit capacity and the level of banking compliance with the monetary and credit conditions of the Federal Reserve, which affects the levels of supply of the petrodollar.

Therefore, we find that many international banks refuse to work as correspondent banks due to the low credit rating of our banking system as a result of smuggling operations, money laundering and sanctions that affect a third of Iraqi banks. Therefore, we find that they do not stand up in this regard, except for banks that have external partnerships with Arab banking capital. They derive international acceptance from the quality of the credit rating of those countries, which facilitates the process of opening accounts with correspondent banks. Therefore, there is fear that pressures on the dollar exchange rate will increase, widening the gap.

It is also noted that among the technical reasons that led to the widening of the gap are the successive changes in the official exchange rate threshold taken by successive government administrations.

The gap witnessed a transition at the end of 2020 from the stable situation in which the gap between the official exchange rate of 0.118 dinars per dollar and the actual exchange rate of 1,200 dinars narrowed, to raise the threshold in 2021 to 1,450 due to the decision of the Central Bank at the time. Then the threshold rose this time after the Council of Ministers approved in February 2023 the decision of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Iraq to amend the official exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar, to the threshold of 1,300 dinars per dollar.

By following the parallel dollar exchange rate in November of this year 2024, we find that it has reached the limits of 1500 dinars per dollar and exceeded it, and that the Central Bank’s selling price for cash dollars, transfers, documentary credits, and international settlements for electronic cards is at the threshold of 1300 dinars per dollar. Therefore, it is concluded that the gap in the dollar exchange rate against the dinar is still widening despite the pressures of the Federal Reserve and the Central Bank’s efforts towards compliance.

Therefore, dealing with the gap between official and actual spending should require comprehensive, integrated policies that target technical and non-technical treatments within medium- and long-term planning, the most important of which are:

Reforming the structure of the banking system, developing its efficiency, and raising the levels of its credit capacity and the flexibility of its banking compliance.

Developing tools for targeting inflation and exchange rates, which would help reduce the exchange gap and achieve price stability.

Implementing solid reforms in the financial and monetary sectors to enhance the flexibility of banking performance in accordance with the SWIFT global financial settlement system.

Coordination between fiscal and monetary policies to achieve the target exchange rate by rationalizing government spending and tightening control over the money supply.

Economic policy should enhance transparency in all financial and banking operations, by implementing clear and strict control systems to contain opportunities for corruption and exploitation of the exchange gap.

Deepening the mechanisms of border control and combating administrative corruption to increase total revenue.

Government authorities must maintain and enhance security and political stability to contribute to building confidence between local and foreign investors on the one hand and the investment environment on the other, which will stimulate further stability and growth.

Formulating an economic policy that targets technical solutions to expand the non-oil production base, and serious planning on how to diversify sources of income for the overall economy. The path of developing the agricultural and industrial sectors will be the decisive factor in reducing imports and stimulating the growth of fixed capital accumulation for the private sector. Hence, the demand for the dollar for consumer import purposes will decrease.  link

When the wealthy plan a move, it’s not just about packing boxes — it’s a strategic financial event. According to experts, they often engage in meticulous planning to optimize their assets and liabilities during this transition.

I’m a Financial Expert: 8 Money Moves the Rich Make When Planning a Move

Cindy Lamothe   Wed, November 20, 2024   GOBankingRates

When the wealthy plan a move, it’s not just about packing boxes — it’s a strategic financial event. According to experts, they often engage in meticulous planning to optimize their assets and liabilities during this transition.

GOBankingRates spoke with Dennis Shirshikov, head of growth at GoSummer and professor of finance at City University of New York, and Melanie Musson, finance expert with Insurance Providers, to discuss the money moves the rich make when planning a move.

“When wealthy people plan a move, they hire professional movers to package their items, pack them on a truck and unload them in their new house,” said Musson. “Wealthy people use their money to make updates and upgrades to their new house before they move in. They don’t have the financial constraint of needing to move in right away.”

Building Up Savings First

According to Musson, in advance of moving, wealthy people build their savings, so they can make a down payment and purchase a home without the contingency of selling their current house.

“Even though they’ll usually sell their old house, the need to do so won’t hinder their chances of getting their offer accepted for their new house,” she explained.

Purchasing Custom Furniture

“Wealthy people get custom furniture for their new house,” Musson said. “They don’t try to make their couch and chairs work in a new space.”

Instead, she said they purchase the right size and color to complement the new space.

Tax Optimization Strategies

One of the first steps, according to Shirshikov, is consulting with tax advisors to understand the implications of moving to a new state or country. For example, relocating from a high-tax state like New York to a no-income-tax state like Florida can result in significant savings.

“They might accelerate income or defer deductions to take advantage of more favorable tax rates post-move,” he added.

Reevaluating Investment Portfolios

“Wealthy individuals often reassess their investment portfolios to ensure they align with their new circumstances,” said Shirshikov.

He said this could involve liquidating certain assets or investing in local opportunities.

“I recall a client who, before moving abroad, diversified into international markets to hedge against currency fluctuations,” he said.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

INDUSTRY EXECS SEEK POSITIONS ON TRUMP’S CRYPTO ADVISORY COUNCIL

President-elect Trump promised the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin ‘stockpile’ during the Bitcoin 2024 event in Nashville Tennessee.

Industry executives are reportedly seeking a seat at President-elect Donald Trump’s highly-anticipated crypto advisory councilwhich will be responsible for crafting regulatory policy and expected to establish a Bitcoin strategic reserve.

According to a Reuters reportCoinbase, Ripple Labs, and venture capital firm a16z are among some of the firms looking to join the council

The council may be nestled under the White House’s National Economic Council, but this is not certain, and the council may operate as a separate, standalone entity.

Speaking at the North American Blockchain Summit on Nov. 21Bitcoin advocate and co-founder of the Satoshi Action Fund Dennis Porter explained the importance of establishing a Bitcoin strategic reserve in the United States:

"A great way for us to protect ourselves from outside influence — undue influence from our foreign adversaries — is to be in the market buying and selling Bitcoin, acting as a shock absorber for all the incredible Bitcoin miners that we have here in this country."


Porter continued by comparing the establishment of a Bitcoin strategic reserve to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and the US government’s acquisition of Alaska in 1867 — a point previously stated by MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor.


“We bought these things for pennies on the dollar,” Porter remarked and argued that the US has the same option to do the same today by adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset before other countries beat the US to the punch.

The race is on for a Bitcoin strategic reserve
Senator Cynthia Lummis — who introduced the Bitcoin strategic reserve bill to the Senate earlier in 2024 — recently argued that the Treasury Department should convert some of its gold to Bitcoin to seed the strategic reserve with assets.

Pro-Bitcoin investor and asset manager Anthony Pompliano also remarked that the Bitcoin race between sovereign powers is underway in a Nov. 16 appearance on Yahoo Finance, and urged the US government to “Get as much Bitcoin onto the balance sheet as possible.”

However, not all industry participants are optimistic about the Bitcoin strategic reserve being established under the incoming Trump administration.

Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz previously opined that he believes a Bitcoin strategic reserve is unlikely under a Trump administration, but also forecasted a $500,000 Bitcoin price tag if the strategic reserve is founded in the near term.

CHARLES SCHWAB TO ENTER SPOT CRYPTO MARKET ONCE REGULATIONS IMPROVE

Incoming CEO Rick Wurster emphasized readiness to capitalize on evolving regulations and anticipates significant industry impact.

Charles Schwab Corp. is gearing up for a foray into the spot crypto market, signaling a strategic pivot for the financial giant in anticipation of regulatory clarity.

Incoming CEO Rick Wurster disclosed the company’s plans during a Bloomberg Radio interview on Nov. 21, emphasizing Schwab’s readiness to capitalize on evolving regulations.

Wurster said:

“We will get into spot crypto when the regulatory environment changes, and we do anticipate that it will change. We’re getting ready for that eventuality.”

His comments mark a notable shift for Schwab, which has so far limited its crypto exposure to products like exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and futures.

VanEck’s Matthew Sigel noted that the firm’s entry would be a significant moment for the industry and highlighted Wurster’s admission of regret, who said during the interview:

“I have not bought crypto, and now I feel silly.”

Competition and timing
Schwab’s move comes as competition intensifies among retail-focused investment platforms vying for investor dollars. Rival firms like Robinhood Markets and Interactive Brokers have already integrated spot crypto trading, forcing Schwab to reassess its cautious approach.

The so-called “Trump trade,” fueled by President-elect Donald Trump’s victory and its implications for crypto-friendly policies, has further accelerated the industry’s momentum.

Schwab’s current offerings focus on crypto-linked ETFs and futures contracts, allowing clients indirect exposure to the digital asset marketHowever, industry observers have long speculated that the firm would eventually embrace direct trading to remain competitive.

Adding to the speculation, Sigel hinted at behind-the-scenes activity, stating that a prominent crypto asset manager recently approached Schwab to pitch a partnership

While details remain unclear, such collaborations could provide Schwab with a quicker and less risky entry into the spot market, leveraging established expertise to navigate operational and regulatory challenges.

Broader institutional shift
Shwab’s evolving stance mirrors a broader shift in institutional attitudes toward digital assetsWith regulatory clarity potentially on the horizon, major players in traditional finance are increasingly exploring direct crypto exposure.

The firm’s strategic pivot could position it as a key player in the next wave of crypto adoption, bridging the gap between traditional finance and the burgeoning digital economy.

For now, Schwab appears to be laying the groundwork, aiming to meet investor demand while mitigating risks. The timeline for its entry into spot crypto markets, however, hinges on the regulatory landscape and the firm’s ability to execute its plans effectively.

What Is The Relationship Between The Population Census And The National Development Plan? Al-Sudani’s Advisor Explains

Money and Business   Economy News – Baghdad  Advisor to the Prime Minister for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed today, Thursday, that the National Development Plan 2024-2028 is in dire need of the results produced by the 2024 General Population and Housing Census.

Saleh said: “The population census is the cornerstone of achieving a fair distribution of resources among different populations. It gives decision-makers a comprehensive view of population needs and helps them reduce disparities between different groups and regions. By using its results correctly, and through it, census data, balanced development and greater social justice can be achieved.”

He added that "the population census enables the government and its planning apparatus to build economic policies that take into account the geographical and population distribution, which enhances the fair use of national resources such as energy, water, and others."

Saleh added that “the census helps to reveal deprived areas or areas that suffer from a lack of government investment, which supports directing policies towards reducing the development gap between urban and rural areas. Thanks to the information derived from the census, targeted social support programs can be designed precisely, such as distributing subsidies, providing social care services, or building housing projects for low-income groups, etc.”

He stated that "the census results highlight the population groups that suffer from poverty and unemployment, or lack of basic services such as health, education and necessary infrastructure, which allows the government to direct support and resources to these groups directly,"

noting that "census data is used as a basic tool for the state and the relevant planning institutions to direct policies and resources in a way that achieves social and developmental justice at the same time, and that the National Development Plan 2024-2028 is in dire need of reviewing its path in terms of development justice and resource distribution according to the results produced by the comprehensive population census."  178 views  11/21/2024 - https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=50072

Iraq's Fuel Oil Exports Set To Hit Record Annual High

Buratha News Agency552024-11-20  Iraq's fuel oil exports are set to hit an all-time annual high this year after the country boosted shipments in October amid falling domestic demand even as production increased, sources and shipping data said, Reuters reported.

The increase in fuel oil exports will support the oil revenues of OPEC's second-largest producer despite stagnant crude shipments this year due to production curbs put in place by the OPEC+ alliance, which includes OPEC and other allies.

Increased Iraqi exports are also expected to contribute to increased global supply and reduce rising prices in Asia while reducing raw material costs in refineries.

Iraq's fuel oil exports are expected to exceed 18 million metric tons (380,000 barrels per day) in 2024, a record annual volume, surpassing last year's record of more than 14 million tons, according to calculations based on data from Kepler and the London Stock Exchange Group.

Exports topped 2.15 million metric tons in October, the highest monthly level on record, according to Kepler and the London Stock Exchange Group.   https://burathanews.com/arabic/economic/452904

Prime Minister's Advisor: National Development Plans Depend On Census Results

Money and Business  Economy News – Baghdad  The Prime Minister's Financial Advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, confirmed today, Wednesday, that the population census data will direct government investments to improve infrastructure and services, while indicating that national development plans will depend on the census results.

The Prime Minister's Advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, said in an interview with the Iraqi News Agency, which was followed by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "the population census represents a basic strategic tool for achieving sustainable economic growth in Iraq."

He stressed that "the data resulting from this census will contribute to improving government administration, enhancing governance levels, as well as supporting investment and increasing the efficiency of resource use to achieve comprehensive economic development."

Saleh pointed out that “the comprehensive population census provides many essential axes that contribute to achieving these goals, the most prominent of which are:

1. The census helps identify areas that suffer from a lack of services and infrastructure, which directs government investments to improve these sectors, as these investments include water services, roads, electricity, schools, hospitals, and banks.

2. The census provides a detailed database for drawing up effective housing policies.

3. Through detailed data on the workforce, the government can develop policies to support employment, train workers, and stimulate productive sectors to serve the national economy.

4. The comprehensive population census allows for the collection of accurate information on the population size, its geographical distribution, age groups, and educational level, in addition to its contribution to helping the government and the private sector plan better, and determine economic priorities and optimal policies within national development plans, especially the 2024-2028 development plan.  195 views   11/20/2024 - https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=50037

SEC CHAIR GENSLER TO DEPART AGENCY ON JANUARY 20

CFTC ADVISORY SUBCOMMITTEE RECOMMENDS TOKENIZED COLLATERAL WITH NO RULE CHANGES NEEDED

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has a Global Markets Advisory Committee (GMAC) made up of industry participants. Today the subcommittee on digital assets voted in favor (27-0) of three recommendations to adopt DLT and tokenized assets as collateral for margin.

The proposals would need to be adopted by the full GMAC Committee and it’s up to the CFTC to decide whether it proceeds.

The problem addressed by tokenized collateral
Stepping back, the CFTC is the primary regulator for derivatives marketsTypically derivatives require the posting of margin to cover the risk of price swings. Initial margin is provided at the outset, with variation margin during the lifetime of the derivative.

 Non cash collateral is already allowed by the CFTC but is not used much for variation margin, because moving assets involves multiple intermediaries and hence delays. Plus, assets can only be transferred during office opening hours.

By contrast, tokenized assets are directly transferrable 24/7The ability to quickly transfer tokenized assets for use as variation margin reduces counterparty and other risks. Plus, it saves money by removing the need to liquidate assets to meet margin calls.

During market panics, the need to post additional cash margin often requires selling collateral that increases market volatility.

Collateral mobility is one of the killer apps for tokenizationBeyond the CFTC and derivatives, there are already significant industry initiatives targeting collateral mobility, including HQLAᵡ, JP Morgan’s Tokenized Collateral Network, and Broadridge’s DLR which supports repo and Treasury tokenization.

The Digital Asset subcommittee proposals
The GMAC Digital Assets Markets subcommittee believes that tokenized assets could be used for margin without the need for regulatory changes. Likewise the use of DLT as books and records (without tokenization), should also not require new legislation.

 Given non cash collateral is already eligible for margin, it also doesn’t require changes in eligibility rules. Committee members also concluded that existing policies and procedures for managing risks should be sufficient to support DLT.

The assets they had in mind as collateral would be World Bank bonds, government securities, corporate debt, money market funds and gold. Current CFTC criteria for non cash collateral is that the assets are liquid, hold value and lack correlation to counterparty or portfolio risks.

The Global Head of DTCC Digital AssetsNadine Chakar, commented that This is an opportunity for us to be able to increase the velocity of collateral in the marketplace without any changes to rules and guidance.”

DRW has been operating a significant digital asset business for yearsDRW’s Chris Zuehlke said it has seen the benefits of the ability to move assets in real time 24/7 in practice. He said the company has a different view on risk where there’s a bank wire involved versus real time settlement with a DLT-based asset.

“We often times feel much more confident in our risk management processes when we know we can have a 24/7 real time settlement capability with these counterparties,” said Mr Zuehlke.

“I think that will transfer very directly to the collateral management side for derivatives based businesses under the CFTC’s purview. And I’m really excited to see that evolution take place.”

The risk of not proceeding
Christopher Perkins from Coinfund is another subcommittee member strongly in favor. He spent a large part of his career at Citi, latterly as Global Co-Head, Futures, Clearing and FX Prime Brokerage.

There’s been much criticism about a lack of technology neutrality with DLT, with extra hurdles often put in place. He argued for the reversethat market participants should be incentivized to move to tokenized collateral.

 He considers the level of ongoing Herstatt risk in the marketplace as too high“The risk here is being able to tolerate the very inefficient settlement processes today,” said Mr Perkins. “We’re living in a world now where it takes days to settle Yen. Completely unacceptable.” He advocated for using stablecoins for variation margin.

The potential figures involved are massive. Exchange traded derivatives are small fry compared to over the counter (OTC). Global exchange traded derivatives have a notional open interest of $88 trillion versus $742 trillion for OTC. To put that in context, global stock markets total $124 trillion.

Even if the full GMAC committee proposes to advance the recommendation, the CFTC might be slow to adopt. During today’s meeting, Commissioner Pham noted that the CFTC has not yet implemented a recommendation from November 2023. That one aimed to harmonize rules relating to money market funds as eligible collateral.

China Sell 44% of US Treasury, will US Economy Collapse?

China Sell 44% of US Treasury, will US Economy Collapse?

Fastepo:  11-20-2024

Recently, news broke that China has sold approximately 44% of its holdings in US Treasury securities, sending ripples through financial markets and sparking a wave of speculation. For years, China has been one of the largest holders of US debt, with its purchases often seen as a sign of confidence in the US economy.

The sudden divestment raises questions about potential impacts on the US economy as well as the broader geopolitical implications. Let’s explore what this development means and whether it could lead to a collapse of the US economy.

China Sell 44% of US Treasury, will US Economy Collapse?

Fastepo:  11-20-2024

Recently, news broke that China has sold approximately 44% of its holdings in US Treasury securities, sending ripples through financial markets and sparking a wave of speculation. For years, China has been one of the largest holders of US debt, with its purchases often seen as a sign of confidence in the US economy.

The sudden divestment raises questions about potential impacts on the US economy as well as the broader geopolitical implications. Let’s explore what this development means and whether it could lead to a collapse of the US economy.

Before diving into the implications of China’s actions, it’s important to understand what US Treasury securities are. These are government bonds issued by the US Department of the Treasury to finance government spending. They are considered one of the safest investments due to the stability and creditworthiness of the US government. Investors, including foreign countries like China, purchase these securities as a way to earn interest while also holding assets perceived as low-risk.

While the sale of US Treasuries may sound alarming, declaring that the US economy will collapse is an overstatement. Here are several factors to consider:

When a major holder like China sells a significant portion of its Treasuries, it can lead to an increase in interest rates. Higher interest rates could make borrowing more expensive for consumers and businesses, possibly slowing down economic growth. However, the US economy is more resilient than ever, with a diverse financial market that allows for adjustments.

The US Treasury market is highly liquid and extends beyond foreign governments. American investors, pension funds, and other international buyers can step in to absorb any sell-off. The US dollar remains the world’s dominant reserve currency, and demand for safe assets is unlikely to evaporate entirely, even with China’s reduced involvement.

Economic interdependence means that both the US and China are invested in a stable global economy. A drastic destabilization of the US economy would have severe repercussions for economies worldwide, including China’s. This mutual reliance can lead to more cautious strategies from major global players.

Investor sentiment is also influenced by geopolitical events. While China’s sale of Treasuries may cause short-term market volatility, savvy investors often look long-term. Positive economic fundamentals in the US, including low unemployment rates and continued innovation, can maintain investor confidence.

In conclusion, while China’s sale of 44% of US Treasury securities raises valid concerns about potential economic impacts, it is not an automatic precursor to a collapse of the US economy. The interconnectedness of the global economy provides a buffer against such drastic scenarios.

It will be critical to monitor how this situation unfolds and to consider the broader economic and geopolitical landscape. The resilience of the US economy, combined with its ability to adapt and innovate, suggests it is far from facing imminent collapse due to changes in foreign holdings.

Tishwash:  Al-Ghais: Oil and gas are God’s gift and the world must invest in energy sources without exception

The Secretary-General of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Haitham Al-Ghais, stressed on Wednesday that the world must adopt all energy sources without exception.

Al-Ghais said at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) that crude oil and natural gas are “a gift from God,” and that talks on limiting global warming should focus on reducing emissions, not choosing energy sources.

His comments were in line with the opening speech of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, who responded to Western criticism of his country's oil and gas industry, also describing these resources as a "gift from God."

"They are actually a gift from God," Al-Ghais, a veteran Kuwaiti oil executive, said in a speech at the conference hosted by Baku, Azerbaijan.

“These resources affect how food is produced, packaged and transported, how medical research is conducted and how medical supplies are manufactured and distributed. I could go on and on with an endless number of examples,” he added.

He pointed out that the world's governments, which set a ceiling for the rise in global temperature during the Paris summit in 2015 of no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to the pre-industrial revolution level, can achieve their climate goals without shifting away from oil.

Al-Ghais continued, "The Paris Agreement focuses on reducing emissions, not on choosing energy sources."

OPEC said technologies such as carbon capture could address the climate change impacts of burning fossil fuels  link

Tishwash:  Economist: Big capitals benefit from the continued rise of the dollar in Iraq

Economic expert Safwan Qusay continued confirmed today, Wednesday, that there are big heads benefiting from the economic chaos and the rise of the dollar in Iraq.

Qusay said in an interview with Al-Maalouma Agency, “There are speculators and local mafias trying to obstruct economic organization and thwart the government's attempt to control the state's resources.”

He added, "The government can strike these mafias with the force of law by directing the supervisory and security agencies against the violators and their continued presence under multiple fronts."

He pointed out that "there are those who manipulate the local dollar markets, and the regulatory bodies must be able to control the big heads that benefit from the continued economic chaos, not the arms."link
