Finance — Quiet Liquidity, Loud Fragility

How ample liquidity and low confidence are reshaping incentives for states and markets

Overview
Global finance today is characterized by abundant liquidity but weakening confidence: markets price risk differently, and non-traditional vectors of instability (geopolitical shocks, AI trading, policy mis-steps) loom large. This dynamic is pushing states to hedge with new partners, instruments and settlement arrangements. 

Key developments

• Central banks keeping policy rates higher for longer while discussing targeted easing — liquidity is available but costly for some borrowers. 

• Investor flows rotate between risk assets (on diplomatic optimism) and safe havens (when policy or geopolitical risks spike). 

What this means for global alliances

• Short-term: Countries with strong reserve positions and trusted capital markets — the U.S., EU members, parts of Asia — attract investment during shocks.

• Medium-term: Emerging economies seek bilateral swap lines, alternative credit facilities and non-USD settlement mechanisms to reduce exposure to policy shifts in reserve-currency countries.

• Result: We should expect a proliferation of regional finance pacts and central-bank linkages that mirror geopolitical blocs.

How this accelerates financial restructuring

• The search for resilience encourages diversification away from unilateral liquidity dependence: swap lines, local-currency bonds, and regional clearing hubs gain traction. 

• Private capital reallocates to ecosystems with state support (sovereign-backed infra financing, state-anchored digital money pilots), compressing funding costs for politically aligned partners.

Practical signals to watch

• New or expanded bilateral swap agreements and central bank repo arrangements.

• Shifts in the composition of international bond issuance (local currency vs. USD).

• Private sector deals that are explicitly state-supported.

Bottom line: The finance layer is quietly fragmenting along strategic lines: liquidity remains global in appearance but resilience is being built regionally.

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

Diplomacy & Peace — Out with the Old, In with the New

How recent diplomatic shifts (ceasefires, mediation, trade talks) are rewriting strategic alignments

Overview
Recent high-profile diplomatic moves — notably the Gaza ceasefire/middle-east diplomatic momentum and renewed high-level U.S.–China engagement — are reducing some near-term risk premia and prompting states to recalibrate alliances and trade relationships. Diplomacy is becoming the primary driver of market sentiment and alliance formation. 

Key developments

• A multilateral ceasefire and follow-on talks in the Middle East have eased energy/defence risk premia in markets. 

• High-level diplomatic outreach between major powers (U.S.–China engagement) is prompting business confidence and signalling possible tariff/tech restraint pathways. 

What this means for global alliances

• Convergence zones: Countries that broker or support peace can gain strategic influence — they become hubs for trade corridors, reconstruction capital, and security partnerships.

• Realignment pressure: States previously hedging between major powers may now lean into economic corridors that promise faster gains (trade, investment, infrastructure).

• Diplomatic currency: States increasingly use trade concessions, investment packages, debt relief and digital infrastructure deals as diplomatic tools — economic carrots replacing some traditional security pledges.

How this accelerates financial restructuring

• Peace and active diplomacy reduce certain risk premia, making long-dated infrastructure finance and cross-border investment more feasible — this encourages new clearing arrangements and cross-border payment initiatives. 

• The political capital earned by mediators translates into preferential access to reconstruction contracts and financial arrangements — creating new nodes in the global financial architecture.

Practical signals to watch

• Agreements to settle some trade or strategic transactions in local currencies rather than USD.

• New regional reconstruction funds and public-private vehicles tied to diplomatic wins.

• Which states host follow-on diplomatic conferences — hosting equals influence.

Bottom line: Successful diplomacy doesn’t just reduce violence — it unlocks structural economic rewiring that benefits the architects of peace.

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

Al-Karwi told Al-Maalouma, “The legal term of the House of Representatives extends to four years, so talk about the current session ending after the elections is inaccurate.” He explained that "the House will continue its work until next January, which will allow for important legislative sessions."

He added, “There is a political consensus to pass a set of laws that affect the work of state institutions and broad segments of society,” expecting that “Parliament will witness a movement after November 11 to hold one or more sessions to complete voting on these laws.”   link

Tishwash:  Sudani interested in energy partnership with Washington: "It strengthens friendship"

During his reception of an American delegation

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani confirms that the government has set a specific timetable to achieve its goals in the field of energy projects

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani received today, Tuesday, US Under Secretary of Energy James Patrick Danley and his accompanying delegation, in the presence of the Chargé d'Affaires at the US Embassy, ​​Joshua Harris.

During the meeting, His Excellency emphasized the importance of the fruitful partnership and cooperation between Iraq and the United States in various fields, noting that the government, by consolidating political, economic, and societal stability, has launched numerous projects, particularly in the energy sector, which have brought about significant positive change across the country.

The Prime Minister noted that the government has set a specific timetable for achieving its energy and gas utilization goals, including achieving self-sufficiency in high-octane gasoline production. Work is ongoing to achieve self-sufficiency in gas production through government projects, with 2028 set as the target date for achieving this goal.

Mr. Al-Sudani stressed the importance of cooperation with American energy companies in the field of developing work and training Iraqi personnel, and using the latest technological means to develop oil fields and produce electricity, indicating that partnership and cooperation with the United States strengthens friendly relations based on common interests in various fields.

For his part, the US Under Secretary of Energy confirmed significant progress in cooperation between the two countries, particularly in developing energy projects. He noted that the US administration's vision is based on strengthening partnerships and investment to enable Iraq to achieve self-sufficiency in energy production and export the surplus in the future.

The Prime Minister sponsored the signing ceremony of the contract for the floating gas regasification platform (FSRU) with a capacity of 15 million cubic meters per day between the Ministry of Electricity and the American company Excelerate Energy for a period of 5 years, renewable, for the purpose of supplying natural gas to power plants, and supporting energy generation by diversifying gas sources to cover the actual need to operate the plants. The floating platform is also a flexible option in terms of implementation and associated infrastructure, and a quick solution to gas problems, as it can be implemented in record time and at a lower cost compared to fixed platforms.

ASEAN and Australia Push Back on China: A Maritime Pivot in Global Trade

The South China Sea becomes the frontline for the next phase of economic realignment.

At the latest ASEAN–Australia summit, leaders united to condemn China’s aggressive maneuvers in the South China Sea, including incidents targeting Filipino and Australian vessels. The joint declaration emphasized international maritime law, open trade routes, and multilateral diplomacy.

Strategic Maritime Corridors: The South China Sea handles over $3 trillion in annual trade. Any collective defense of these routes transforms ASEAN from a passive bloc into a regional security consortium.

• Economic Decoupling Pressure: Australia and the Philippines’ cooperation signals deeper coordination between Western economies and Southeast Asian partners. Expect a surge in joint infrastructure financing (ports, fiber optics, defense tech) funded through Quad and G7 channels.

• Alternative Supply Networks: As trade re-routes away from China-dominated waters, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia stand to gain. Logistics hubs in Singapore and Darwin may evolve into the backbone of a “Pacific Free Trade Belt.”

Implications for Global Trade:
The diplomacy here is as much about economics as security. This could result in two maritime trading networks — one under Western alignment (ASEAN-Australia-Japan-US), and another centered on BRICS-Eurasian corridors. Such bifurcation mirrors the broader fragmentation of finance, logistics, and market access globally.

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

BRICS’ Digital Currency Bridge: Prelude to a Global Currency Reset?

As BRICS pilots ultra-fast settlements, could this signal a move toward an asset-backed global digital currency and a reshaping of the dollar era?

The recent pilot of the mBridge digital currency bridge—settling transactions in just 7 seconds and with dramatically lower fees—points to a deeper shift in global finance. According to one recent report, payments between Abu Dhabi and China via mBridge were settled in seven seconds, with transaction fees claimed to be ~98% lower than those using the traditional SWIFT system. 

The Mechanics: mBridge & Payment Infrastructure

• mBridge was developed by the Bank for International Settlements Innovation Hub together with central banks of China, Thailand, the UAE, Hong Kong and later Saudi Arabia. It is designed to allow real-time cross-border payments with central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). 

• The BIS announced it would hand over management of mBridge to participating central banks in late 2024. 

• Analysts observe that while mBridge is not explicitly a BRICS-only project, several participating states overlap with the expanded BRICS group and the infrastructure aligns with its de-dollarisation ambitions. 

• One recent analysis suggests that beyond faster payments, a “less likely but more transformative” scenario is the launch of a dedicated BRICS digital currency backed by a basket of member currencies or commodities like gold. 

How This Could Lead to a Global Asset-Backed Digital Currency

1. Eliminating Intermediaries – The pilot between Abu Dhabi and China demonstrated that payments could bypass traditional correspondent banking routes (e.g., New York and London). If scaled to more BRICS and partner nations, that reduces dependency on dollar-clearing channels. (See mBridge settlement speed & cost) 

2. Hub for Local/Regional Currencies – As the platform supports CBDCs, member states might settle trade in local or regional digital currencies rather than in US dollars. That opens the door to a synthetic or unified digital currency of the bloc. 

3. Asset/Commodity Backing – Analysts suggest a BRICS currency could be backed by gold or other hard assets, which gives it credibility as a reserve alternative.

4. Infrastructure Precedes Currency Launch – The infrastructure (mBridge, BRICS Pay, regional digital settlement systems) can precede and prepare the ground for a formal digital currency to be issued by a supranational or region-wide entity. 

What a Global Currency Reset Might Look Like

• Reduced Dollar Dominance: The US dollar has long been the primary global reserve and trade-invoicing currency. BRICS efforts aim to reduce this dependency. 

• Currency Bloc or Basket: A new digital currency might be built on a basket of BRICS currencies (renminbi, rupee, real, rand, ruble etc) or backed by commodities/gold, providing an alternative reserve asset. 

• New Payment Architecture: With low‐cost, fast settlement networks like mBridge, trade settlement timelines shrink and reliance on Western-dominated financial rails diminishes.

• Implications for Power and Sanctions: Countries under Western sanctions see appeal in alternative payment systems that circumvent dollar-based sanctions architecture. 

Risks, Challenges & Timing

• Technical vs Political: While infrastructure is advancing, full rollout and trust in a new global currency require enormous political coordination and regulatory alignment. Some experts caution that BRICS’s ability to launch a truly viable alternative remains limited in the near term. 

• Dollar Resilience: Despite the push, the dollar’s dominance remains resilient—for now. The shift may take years. 

• Diverse Member Interests: The BRICS nations have differing economic systems, policies and levels of integration; aligning them around a single digital currency or settlement system presents major coordination issues. 

• Geopolitical Response: The US and its allies may respond by strengthening the current financial architecture, applying regulatory or sanction pressures, or accelerating their own digital currency initiatives.

• Backing & Trust: For a new currency to gain reserve status it must be trusted. This implies backing by credible assets, transparency, liquidity and stability—all difficult in emerging-market contexts.

Implications for Investors & Policymakers

• Investors should monitor developments in digital sovereignty, CBDCs and cross-border settlement systems as structural shifts in global finance may alter currency, trade and reserve asset dynamics.

• Central banks and policymakers in non-BRICS countries should evaluate vulnerability to exclusion from new rails, or opportunities to link with alternative systems.

• Markets may gradually price in potential de-dollarisation risks, especially for currencies, commodities, and trade-financing arenas.

• Commodity-rich and export-driven emerging markets may see accelerated efforts to invoice trade in alternatives to the US dollar, particularly if digital settlement systems reduce friction and cost.

Closing Thoughts

The pulse of global finance is showing subtle but significant signs of change. With BRICS nations pushing faster, cheaper settlement architectures via platforms like mBridge, the foundations for a digital currency and potentially a global currency reset are quietly being laid. While the full impact may take years to manifest, this is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

It’s Not the Fed Who actually Controls Interest Rates

It’s Not the Fed Who actually Controls Interest Rates

Heresy Financial:  10-27-2025

We hear a lot about “the Fed” and “interest rates” in the news. It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking the Federal Reserve has a direct dial for everything from your mortgage to your credit card.

But as a recent video from Heresy Financial meticulously breaks down, the reality is far more nuanced. The Fed’s control over interest rates isn’t a blunt instrument; it’s a sophisticated dance involving specific tools and market reactions.

The elephant in the room for the U.S. economy is its staggering national debt – approximately $38 trillion – and a persistent deficit. This requires continuous borrowing, leading to ever-increasing interest costs. This financial reality could force the Fed into some unconventional moves.

Ultimately, understanding monetary policy’s impact is a complex puzzle. While the Fed can effectively manage short-term rates and influence government borrowing costs, this doesn’t automatically translate into lower interest rates for consumers.

This can cause consumer loan rates to rise, even if Treasury yields are falling. The video even touches on the possibility of future government interventions to cap consumer loan rates, reflecting a broader trend towards increased economic management.

The Federal Reserve’s role in setting interest rates is far from a simple on/off switch. It’s a sophisticated interplay of direct control over key short-term rates and indirect influence on broader market dynamics through its balance sheet and other tools.

As the economic landscape continues to evolve, understanding these mechanisms is crucial for navigating the financial world.

For a deeper dive into these fascinating concepts, be sure to watch the full video from Heresy Financial.

Clare:  IMF forecasts: Iraq will be the fourth largest Arab economy by 2030.

10/28/2025

International Monetary Fund data predicts that Iraq will rank fourth among the largest Arab economies by 2023.

Saudi Arabia will top the list of the largest Arab economies by 2030, with a projected GDP of $1.6 trillion, cementing its position as the strongest economy in the region.

The UAE came in second place with approximately $765 billion, followed by Egypt in third place with $590 billion, Iraq with $346 billion, and Algeria with $309 billion.

The next highest rankings were held by Qatar with $297 billion, Morocco with $252 billion, and Kuwait with $190 billion. Oman followed with $133 billion, while Jordan rounded out the list with $74 billion.

The data indicated that these estimates are based on GDP at current prices, with expectations of increasing economic growth in a number of Arab countries until the end of the current decade.

The World Bank had previously predicted that Iraq would record the highest growth rate among Arab economies next year, at 6.7%, followed by Djibouti at 6.1%, and then Qatar at 5.3%, despite reducing its growth estimate by 0.1 percentage points from its June forecast.

The bank raised its growth estimates for Iraq by 2.3 percentage points, followed by Palestine by 1.1 percentage points, while Oman's growth forecast was reduced by 2.9 percentage points.

The three largest Arab economies—Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt—are expected to grow by 4.3%, 5%, and 4.3%, respectively, in 2026. LINK

Clare: The Central Bank announces that electronic trading has increased to $60 billion.

10/28/2025- Baghdad

The Central Bank of Iraq expects the volume of electronic payments to reach $60 billion by 2035, as part of a reform plan to gradually phase out paper cash transactions.

"As part of its reform plan, the bank is pursuing electronic transformation and financial inclusion, given its significant role in reducing reliance on paper cash transactions, which has significantly reduced the use of cash. It has encouraged all individuals today to increase their transactions and shift to electronic payments, particularly for salaries and government departments," bank spokesman Alaa Al-Fahd said, according to the official newspaper.

He added, "The bank is implementing a banking reform plan in cooperation with Oliver Wyman, which announced in its report a significant response from banks to the reform plan's implementation, expecting electronic payments to reach $60 billion by 2035."

Al-Fahd explained that "electronic payments have significantly reduced the printing of banknotes due to electronic transactions," noting that "there is an idea to move towards digital electronic banks and the significant role they play in reducing reliance on paper money."

He continued, "The development of electronic payments over the past three years has witnessed a qualitative leap and a very high growth rate, with the number of cards issued reaching more than 22 million, in addition to the import of more than 75,000 devices." He expected that "the future will bring even greater growth in the issue of electronic payments and transactions as an alternative to paper transactions."   LINK

North Korea and Russia Forge Strategic Alliance: A New Axis in East Asia

Military diplomacy between Moscow and Pyongyang signals deeper realignments in global trade and security.

North Korea’s top diplomat’s visit to Moscow marks one of the most overt declarations of partnership between Pyongyang and the Kremlin since the Cold War. The talks, centered on defense, logistics, and labor cooperation, confirm a pivot toward mutual reinforcement against Western sanctions.

• Military–Industrial Linkages: Analysts note that North Korea could provide munitions and low-cost labor to sustain Russia’s prolonged conflict in Ukraine. In exchange, Pyongyang may receive technology, fuel, and hard currency — effectively creating a closed economic loop outside Western control.

• Financial Sanctions Loopholes: This alignment tests the durability of the global sanctions regime. If barter systems or digital trade intermediaries are used, it could bypass SWIFT mechanisms and accelerate the search for alternative financial corridors within the Eurasian bloc.

• Strategic Ripple Effects: Japan and South Korea may strengthen defense pacts with the U.S. and NATO. China, while cautious, benefits from seeing Western bandwidth divided between Europe and East Asia.

Implications for Global Finance:
A Russia–North Korea trade corridor could become a small but symbolically powerful node in a larger de-dollarization framework. By linking resource exchange, crypto payments, and parallel shipping networks, it foreshadows a fragmented global trade map — divided between Western-led systems and Eurasian “sovereign finance zones.”

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

South Korea’s High-Stakes Diplomacy at APEC: The Balancing Act Between Giants

As APEC 2025 approaches, Seoul’s role may determine the next phase of global economic integration.

South Korea faces a delicate diplomatic equation at the upcoming APEC summit in Gyeongju. Hosting both U.S. President Trump and China’s Xi Jinping, President Yoon Suk Yeol’s administration stands at the crossroads of competing visions for Asia’s economic future.

• Mediator or Battleground: Seoul’s challenge is to present itself as a mediator rather than a subordinate ally. Success could enhance its leverage over semiconductor trade, digital currencies, and shipping corridors — making it a neutral hub between Western markets and the Asian mainland.

• Supply Chain Strategy: By coordinating semiconductor alliances (notably “Chip 4” with the U.S., Taiwan, and Japan) while maintaining export ties with China, Korea may set a precedent for multi-polar trade diplomacy.

• Digital Currency Diplomacy: Korea’s participation in cross-border CBDC pilots — including BIS and BRICS-linked projects — positions it as a test site for new payment interoperability that could redefine trade settlements in Asia.

Implications for Global Markets:
APEC 2025 could quietly shape the rules of digital trade, AI governance, and blockchain interoperability, effectively rewriting how capital and goods move across Asia. Should Korea succeed, it becomes a model for middle powers balancing great-power rivalries with market-driven neutrality.

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

Californians Keep Finding Leftover Loot From The Gold Rush — 1 man even bought a home with his spoils. How to cash in

It’s been more than 170 years since California’s Gold Rush — but locals are once again finding gold dust, flakes and even nuggets glittering in the state’s rivers.

“Gold’s all around,” said Manny Goza, a prospector sifting through the Bear River, in an interview with FOX40 News. (1) The low water levels during the fall make it easier to reach stretches of the river that are usually inaccessible.

For Goza, a builder by trade, panning for gold has paid off.

“I did it every day. I've been here since 2005, bought a house in 2010 because I could pay my bills off the gold,” he said. “When I’m not contracting, I’m here digging gold.”

With gold prices up more than 50% over the past 12 months, the precious metal is drawing renewed attention from locals looking for opportunity in their own backyard.

Goza said an “amateur” prospector can expect to make around $50 a day, while a more serious one might bring in “anywhere from $100 to $15,000.”

Just like the original gold rush nearly two centuries ago, striking it big often comes down to luck. One prospector recalled a moment when a golden nugget “just rolled out — it was completely round like a baseball and it was half gold.”

Still, the work can be grueling. As another prospector put it, gold “doesn’t jump into the pan.”

And payday is never a sure thing.

“It’s emotional, some days you find $15,000, some days you don’t find anything,” Goza said.

Tuesday Coffee with MarkZ. 10/28/2025

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Happy Terrific Tuesday……Good Morning to everyone

Member: Let’s go RVing…

Member: This week in history -Stock market crashed

Member: Hoping Mark has heard something great today.

MZ: On the bond side my last check-in was late in their day yesterday…before their banks closed. Their accounts were still showing “pending”. They told me that their attorney had told them not to be worried…..and with transfers of that amount- it is not unusual for them to make sure everything is ok at all levels-before releasing…..  

MZ: That was my last update…and then they disappeared. I do not have an answer yet.  

Member: Maybe “no answer” means they got paid.

MZ: I’m hoping it means they are busy….

Member: IMO-bonds got paid cause they are busily quiet

Member: In reference to your bond contact. Whenever I have a significant amount of money being moved into my account -I have “pending” for at least 3 days.

MZ: And imagine a deposit for billions…….I am not to worried because transfers under our existing system do take longer. But I am impatient right now.

Member: Is there a checklist of things you were told to expect before the RV occurs?

MZ: I do not have a written checklist….and many things we were told needed to be done have already been completed.

Member: Per Frank26 hearing from Parliament contact they are scheduled to vote on HCL next week and they have the rate. Which I think next week means this week.

MZ: I think there is a good chance. Especially with all the chatter and Barzani saying “looks like they have to pay HCL within days of the election” to me they are trying to throw off timing and mean to do it before.

Member: So tired of all the HCL bs….. HCL is like a carrot on a stick for the last few years.

Member: Enough talk….we need some action on the HCL

MZ: There is a massive push to get the HCL done right now. And we are hearing they could actually vote on the HCL this week.

Member: Iraq just signed the floating gas platform and has entered the global natural gas market

MZ: “ Iraqi banks need comprehensive reforms to free themselves from the restrictions of working with dollars” They have already made many reforms and are tweeking the last few to get all banks free from restrictions.

MZ: Their stated goal is to return the dinar to its former glory…..

MZ: “Central Bank: Electronic trading rises to $60 Billion” They want us to know they are embracing these reforms and updating their banking system

Member: I find it curious Trump is in Asia where the elders may possibly be (cough cough) this week

MZ: And Trump is meeting Xi Jing Ping on Thursday.

Member: Trump/Xi meeting and October 30 seems to be big for the reset.

Member: The 3 largest credit unions in Mo are merging together. The new system is going in on the 31st. New system new sign on’s and new apps. Something is going on.

Member: My Credit Union said Bigger Banks will do the Currency Exchanges not them

Member: Navy Federal Credit Union has changed over to new system as their new mobile app doesn't work on my old phone.

MZ: Bank story….I am editing to not give away any names. “ A friend in Florida went to a Chase bank. They asked if there was any updates on the dinar and dong. The teller said “That is a scam” and my friend replied…”Oh really, guess I will call my attorney. Because I bought my currency here.” Within minutes the manager and his 2 bosses came out and ushered my friend into an office. My friend explained the situation and they all rushed to assure her that is was not a scam.”

MZ: Bank story cont: “This same friend also visited a wealth manager at a Wells Fargo Branch . She was visiting several banks to find a financial planner she was comfortable with. She had a good conversation with a financial planner at WF regarding currency and exchanging. The gal went as far as identifying which branch location will be handling the exchange for their bank in that city. She also indicated to my friend that we are very close. “

MZ: I think the Fed meeting tomorrow with an interest rate decision is going to be interesting. I think we will see a cut in interest rates. This should help the housing market.

MZ: After that decision we have Powell’s press conference.

Member: All good things come to those who have patience, but sometimes it is the most difficult to wait...

Member: I believe this Weekend Is In Play . . .

Member: My bags are packed….We are sitting on the tarmac…. Someone hit the ignite button!
