US Debt Explodes at Record Pace Forcing Fed QE

US Debt Explodes at Record Pace Forcing Fed QE

Taylor Kenny:  11-4-2025

The economic headlines are buzzing, and for good reason. A recent analysis by ITM Trading, featuring insights from Taylor Kenney, paints a stark picture of the current U.S. economic landscape.

It’s a narrative dominated by a rapidly escalating national debt and a surprisingly abrupt shift in Federal Reserve policy.

Let’s start with the numbers, and they are staggering. In just the past eight weeks, the U.S. national debt has surged by a trillion dollars. While the pandemic provided a unique period of massive debt expansion, this current pace is setting new records outside of that extraordinary time.

This isn’t just abstract government accounting; it has tangible consequences. The daily cost of servicing this debt is now a mind-boggling $3 billion, consuming a significant 17% of all federal spending.

This brings us to the Federal Reserve and its recent decision to halt Quantitative Tightening (QT). For months, the Fed has been attempting to shrink its balance sheet, a move designed to withdraw liquidity from the market and combat inflation.

However, the announcement to end QT, according to the analysis, isn’t a victory lap on inflation control. Instead, it’s presented as a desperate measure to avert a looming liquidity crisis that could threaten the entire financial system.

The core of the problem, as explained, lies in the confluence of a debt crisis and an interest rate crisis.

 As interest rates rise, the cost of borrowing for the U.S. Treasury escalates dramatically. To manage its existing obligations, the Treasury is forced to issue new debt at these higher rates, a direct contradiction to the Fed’s QT efforts.

 This fundamental conflict is creating significant strain within the financial ecosystem. Banks are experiencing a depletion of reserves, and money market funds are hoarding cash, effectively drying up the liquidity available for the real economy – the businesses and individuals who drive everyday economic activity.

The beneficiaries of this liquidity crunch, the analysis suggests, are the titans of finance: large banks, hedge funds, and corporate insiders.

Meanwhile, the everyday American is left to grapple with the eroding purchasing power of their savings and wages, a direct consequence of inflation that persists despite the Fed’s actions.

 The video points to the Fed’s past quantitative easing (QE) programs, particularly the colossal $4 trillion in 2020, as a catalyst for inflating asset bubbles and weakening the dollar. This, in turn, is seen as a mechanism for transferring wealth from the public to Wall Street.

The irony is palpable: the very institution that arguably contributed to the current crisis is now positioning itself as the savior, all while inflation remains stubbornly elevated.

The implications of ending QT extend beyond immediate liquidity concerns. The analysis posits that this move signals a “quiet default,” an implicit acknowledgment that the government may need to devalue its debt to remain solvent.

This devaluation would inevitably impact the value of individual savings, wages, and retirement funds. Historically, such currency crises have led to dramatic consequences, including hyperinflation and a loss of faith in fiat money, often prompting a return to tangible assets like gold and silver as reliable stores of value.

This potential economic reset, however, is unique.

The dollar’s global reserve currency status and the ongoing shifts in the global monetary order, particularly concerning the role of physical gold, add layers of complexity to this evolving situation.

In light of these concerns, ITM Trading is hosting a free webinar titled “The Great Gold Reset.” This event aims to equip viewers with knowledge and strategies to navigate what is presented as an impending collapse of the dollar and a transition towards a gold-backed global financial system.

The presenter emphasizes the importance of learning, preparing, and considering investments in physical gold and silver as vital measures of protection against the economic turbulence anticipated ahead.

The only way to get this trillions out of the streets, it's by changing the currency and changing their rate.  That's the only way they can get this 92 trillion dinars out of the streets...That's exactly what's going to happen soon.

SILVER ALERT! Trump, Powell & Bessent Rigged Silver Lower for Rate Cut! But NOW WHAT?!

 (Bix Weir)  11-4-2024

Silver & Gold are slammed 99% of the time right before a big rate cut from the Fed! It's like CLOCKWORK and reminds us that THERE ARE NO FREE MARKETS ANYMORE!

This latest slam was for that reason and the follow through will be very, very short lived. Silver will soon shoot right past $50/oz again and the game will move forward.

 Those that load up under $50/oz will be the WINNERS!

“Tidbits From TNT” Wednesday 11-5-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Cabinet meeting: Allocations for holding an international conference and recommendations regarding Apple Pay

The Council approved “the special recommendations regarding the activation of global (APPLE PAY) services in Iraq, by adopting the documents required by the parent company, instead of the commercial registration certificate to obtain the trusted license from the Media and Communications Commission, and exempting the company from the provisions of the amended Foreign Companies Branches System (2 of 2017).”  link

Tishwash:  Washington rejects Iraqi PM's condition on disarming factions 

The US State Department on Wednesday dismissed Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s recent attempt to link the disarmament of armed factions to the future of the US-led Global Coalition in Iraq, urging Baghdad instead to dismantle the “Iran-backed militias.”

Speaking to Shafaq News, the Department’s spokesperson said that addressing “terrorist organizations,” remains an Iraqi sovereign responsibility, stressing that these groups engage in “violent and destabilizing activities in Iraq.”

“Their actions drain the country’s resources and act against its national interests,” the spokesperson added.

Iraq officially recognizes both the national army and the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF). While the PMF is legally part of the state’s armed forces, many of its key factions operate under the banner of the “Islamic Resistance in Iraq.” The group is aligned with Iran’s regional “Axis of Resistance,” which includes Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen, and positions itself against US and Israeli interests in the region.

Addressing the future of US forces in Iraq, the spokesperson clarified that Washington is proceeding according to an agreed timeline to transition the Global Coalition’s role and conclude its combat operations.

“This is not a withdrawal,” the spokesperson affirmed. “It is a shift toward a more traditional bilateral relationship in the areas of security and diplomacy.”

With around 2,500 US troops still stationed in Iraq, Baghdad and Washington finalized an agreement last month setting a roadmap for the full withdrawal of American forces by September 2026.  link

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

Tishwash:  Reuters predicts Sudani's victory: He is the favorite to win a second term.

Reuters predicted on Tuesday that Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is the most likely candidate to win a second term .

Reuters published a report, translated by Mail, stating that "Sudan presented himself as the leader who could finally make the country successful after years of instability and moved against the established parties that brought him to power as he seeks a second term ."

She added that "thanks to signs of rising public support ahead of the parliamentary elections scheduled for November 11, the increasingly confident Sudanese is running against key members of a group of parties that initially selected him for the position ."

She noted that “Al-Sudani’s election campaign focuses on improving basic services and presenting himself as the man capable of successfully balancing relations with Washington and Tehran, and he says he expects to win the largest share of seats,” adding that “many analysts agree that Al-Sudani, who has been in power since 2022 and leads the Building and Development Alliance, is the most likely candidate to win a second term .”

She continued, "No single party can form a government on its own in the 329-member Iraqi parliament, so parties must build alliances with other groups to form an administration, a difficult process that often takes several months ."

She noted that “Al-Sudani held many key positions in the Iraqi political system and is the only prime minister after 2003 who never left the country, unlike others who went into exile and then returned, often with new nationalities, after the US-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

FINANCE — IMF Warns of Systemic Strain: Early Signals of a Monetary Realignment

Mounting debt, overvalued assets, and policy fatigue point to the quiet re-engineering of global finance.

The International Monetary Fund’s October 2025 Global Financial Stability Report has quietly set off alarm bells across policy circles. Beneath its restrained tone, the IMF outlines a world financial system that is structurally fragile and increasingly dependent on non-bank financing—just as sovereign debt and liquidity pressures mount worldwide.

Key Points

• Systemic risk is rising: stretched asset valuations and tightening global liquidity are leaving major economies vulnerable.

• Sovereign-bond stress is building as refinancing costs grow, particularly in emerging markets.

• Non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) now handle a growing share of global credit flows, often outside regulatory reach.

• Foreign-exchange markets are showing higher volatility as nations hedge against policy divergence and geopolitical uncertainty.

These trends, taken together, suggest that the financial architecture built after 2008 is nearing the limits of its stability.

Why It Matters

The IMF’s findings align with broader signals of what analysts are calling “Bretton Woods 2.0” — a structural monetary reset.
As public debt soars and confidence in fiat systems erodes, central banks are reassessing the very foundation of liquidity, collateral, and cross-border settlement.

• Expect new reserve frameworks emphasizing diversification and digital infrastructure.

• Monetary policy coordination may shift toward regional blocks rather than global consensus.

• The U.S. dollar’s privileged role is under silent review, even among allies.

The world’s financial plumbing is being redesigned — not in crisis mode, but through gradual realignment.

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

DIPLOMACY & PEACE — The Quiet Currency War: BRICS, Washington, and the Struggle for Financial Influence

As alliances shift, currency diplomacy becomes the new battlefield of global power.

In the halls of Beijing, Moscow, and Washington, a subtle but defining struggle is underway — not for territory, but for monetary alignment.
This week’s diplomatic signals reveal that the United States is pressuring several nations to re-anchor trade and settlements back to the U.S. dollar, countering the BRICS bloc’s de-dollarization strategy.

Behind these negotiations lies a profound transformation: financial diplomacy has replaced traditional military leverage.

Key Developments

• Washington’s renewed dollar diplomacy now targets eight emerging economies to sustain dollar liquidity and influence.

• China and Russia, through the BRICS New Development Bank, are promoting local currency settlements and cross-border systems outside SWIFT.

• Bilateral trade pacts increasingly bypass the dollar, from energy to tech supply chains.

• Geoeconomic competition is now the main channel through which global influence is exercised.

Why It Matters

This is not a passing currency debate — it is a foundational shift in how power is expressed.
Financial institutions, trade routes, and reserve choices are now direct tools of diplomacy.

• A multipolar reserve currency network could weaken traditional sanctions and reshape global credit markets.

• Countries aligning with BRICS structures may gain autonomy from U.S.-centric systems, but face transition risk and liquidity gaps.

• If de-dollarization accelerates, global governance frameworks (IMF, BIS, SWIFT) will need to adapt to multi-standard interoperability.

The old world of “finance serving diplomacy” is gone. In its place, diplomacy now serves finance — and the contest for global monetary leadership has begun.

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

MARKETS — Fear and Flow: Why Investors Are Fleeing to Safety as Regimes Shift

Volatility and uncertainty are redefining the risk map of global markets.

From Wall Street to Singapore, investors are quietly repositioning. Safe-haven assets are rising, volatility is back, and liquidity flows are moving from growth to defense.
The trigger? A convergence of monetary stress, political uncertainty, and systemic fatigue — the key ingredients of regime transition.

As the U.S. dollar climbs to a two-month high, and gold continues to outperform expectations, the markets are sending a clear message: the post-2008 playbook no longer fits.

Key Developments

• Dollar strength reflects defensive positioning, not confidence — investors are hedging against policy indecision and fiscal instability.

• Gold demand has surged as portfolios rebalance toward real assets amid declining trust in paper markets.

• Bond markets show unusual divergence: yields signal recession risk even as equities remain inflated by policy inertia.

• Emerging markets face renewed capital outflows as investors seek shelter in liquidity-rich assets.

Why It Matters

These patterns are symptomatic of a deeper market recalibration.
Behind short-term volatility lies a reordering of how capital perceives safety, growth, and value.

• Traditional correlations are breaking down — equities and bonds no longer move inversely, weakening classic risk hedges.

• Monetary divergence between the U.S., Europe, and Asia is fragmenting global liquidity, reshaping capital flows.

• Fear-based allocation is replacing fundamentals as the dominant trading logic — a signal that investors anticipate systemic transition.

In essence, markets are pricing in the end of an era — not a crisis event, but a shift in the global financial operating system.

METALS — Gold’s Return to Power: What Central Banks Are Really Signaling

Behind the rally in gold lies a quiet reconfiguration of global trust and reserve policy.

For decades, gold was dismissed as an anachronism — a relic of the pre-digital era. Yet in 2025, it’s back at the center of global finance.
Central banks from Beijing to Riyadh have been accumulating gold at record pace, signaling a strategic diversification away from traditional reserve currencies.

The rise in gold is not merely speculative — it’s structural. It reflects a deep reassessment of what “money” and “trust” mean in a system stretched by debt, currency politics, and digital transition.

Key Developments

• Central banks are net buyers for the third consecutive year, expanding gold’s role in sovereign balance sheets.

• Emerging markets are leading accumulation as insurance against sanctions, FX volatility, and dollar exposure.

• Analysts warn that the current gold rally is driven less by inflation fears and more by monetary realignment.

• Private investors mirror the trend: ETFs and vault holdings have risen steadily since mid-2024.

Why It Matters

Gold’s resurgence marks the return of tangible credibility in a digitalizing system.
As trust in fiat and debt-based assets erodes, nations are hedging against a future where financial power may fragment across multiple standards.

• Expect gold to re-emerge as a partial collateral anchor in cross-border payment systems.

• A hybrid reserve model — combining metals, digital tokens, and diversified currencies — is becoming plausible.

• For investors, this signals a structural portfolio rethink: gold is not a trade; it’s a geopolitical hedge.

The move by central banks to hard assets is not nostalgia — it’s a calculated preparation for a post-fiat monetary environment.

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

MP: Halting Imports Of Oil Derivatives Will Save The State 4 Trillion Dinars Annually  

November 4, 21:43  Information/Baghdad...  MP Ali Al-Lami confirmed on Tuesday that the   decision to stop importing oil derivatives      will save at least three to four trillion dinars annually for the state treasury.
 
Al-Lami told Al-Maalouma that  "the Ministry of Oil's decision to stop importing oil derivatives, especially gasoline,  came after the completion of a series of strategic projects,  most notably the new refineries and modern production lines, which contributed to adding large quantities to national production, creating a state of self-sufficiency for the local market." 

He added that "this decision will provide at least three to four trillion dinars annually   that can be used to finance service projects within the governorates," indicating that "there are additional projects to develop existing refineries and establish new ones,   which may turn Iraq into a major source of oil derivatives,   especially car fuel, within the next three years." 

Al-Lami emphasized that   "importing petroleum products in previous years was very costly for the state treasury,   but the situation has changed now thanks to the expansion of local refining capacity.
 
This contributes to   diversifying the national economy and  converting crude oil into value-added derivatives    that can be exported at higher prices in global markets." End/25

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Tuesday Evening 11-4-25

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Economic Integration and the Birth of a Parallel Trade Zone

Behind the headlines, the long-term significance lies in infrastructure:  

• Eurasian Investment Corridors: The integration of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) with Russia’s Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) continues to mature, linking ports, railways, and pipelines under new governance structures that bypass Western banking.

• Mutual Reserves and Settlement Assets: Joint reserve pooling and bilateral bond issuance in yuan-ruble denominations are quietly building regional monetary independence — a step toward BRICS’ planned cross-border settlement currency.

• Digital Ruble & e-CNY Trials: Both nations’ central banks are advancing digital currency interoperability, signaling the coming fusion of CBDCs with commodity-backed settlement.

These shifts point to the steady formation of a multipolar trade block, united not by ideology, but by shared insulation from Western capital flows and regulatory systems.

Global Implications for Markets and Peace

• Markets: Expect continued divergence between Western and Eurasian financial instruments, with commodities-backed currencies gaining traction as liquidity alternatives to the dollar.

• Trade: Expansion of yuan and ruble trade corridors through Central and South Asia could gradually redefine the global trade balance — emphasizing resource-based, bilateral exchange over multilateral U.S.-dominated platforms.

• Peace: As China and Russia coordinate strategically, they establish economic peace frameworks that aim to stabilize regions through trade interdependence rather than military alliances.

• Global Reset: Each new investment accord and settlement mechanism between Beijing and Moscow advances the decentralization of global finance, the defining feature of the reset already underway.

What to Watch

• The scope of new bilateral projects announced at upcoming BRICS+ and SCO summits.

• Integration of Russian energy trade into CIPS and BRICS payment systems.

• Whether additional nations — particularly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America — adopt similar bilateral investment frameworks tied to yuan or ruble settlements.

• The next stage: linking trade corridors with digital finance and tokenized commodity exchanges.

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

Dollarization as Strategy: U.S. Countermoves to BRICS De-Dollarization

Washington’s push for “main currency” dollar systems reveals the deepening financial fault lines shaping the next phase of global restructuring.

A Renewed Dollarization Campaign

The U.S. administration is reportedly pursuing “dollar main currency” policies in eight countries — Lebanon, Pakistan, Ghana, Turkey, Egypt, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and Argentina.
This marks a deliberate move to expand the reach of the U.S. dollar as a geopolitical tool amid accelerating BRICS de-dollarization efforts.

• Washington sees dollar adoption as both economic stabilization and geopolitical containment.

• The effort aligns with the administration’s broader goal to secure U.S. influence in emerging markets.

• Experts confirm that these discussions have reached the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, signaling high-level policy intent.

Implication:
Dollarization functions not just as financial policy — but as currency diplomacy designed to reinforce U.S. leverage in the new multipolar environment.

White House Consultations and Strategic Intent

Johns Hopkins economist Steve Hanke, a noted authority on dollarization, was invited to brief senior U.S. officials on the feasibility and mechanisms of formal dollarization.
Attendees reportedly included members of the Council of Economic Advisers, National Economic Council, and National Security Council.

• Hanke described the meeting as “the equivalent of a graduate seminar.”

• U.S. officials showed deep interest in expanding global usage of the dollar, including through stablecoin initiatives.

• Analysts view this as a strategic response to BRICS nations’ push for digital-currency independence.

Eight Nations in Focus

Argentina is a central test case. U.S. discussions reportedly support President Javier Milei’s dollarization campaign — part of his promise to restore confidence and control hyperinflation.
Meanwhile, nations like Lebanon, Ghana, and Zimbabwe face chronic currency instability, making them susceptible to U.S.-backed dollarization frameworks.

Implication:
By stabilizing fragile economies under a dollarized regime, Washington can anchor influence in regions where BRICS seeks to expand trade and settlement in local currencies.

BRICS Counter-Move: Payment Sovereignty

BRICS nations are rapidly building their own digital settlement infrastructure — linking the digital ruble, yuan, and rupee within a shared ecosystem expected to launch between 2026–2027.
The bloc’s new system, BRICS Pay, enables cross-border transactions in local currencies, bypassing SWIFT and reducing dollar dependency.

• BRICS trade in U.S. dollars has dropped to roughly one-third of prior levels.

• Russia, China, and India are accelerating direct currency settlements.

• The shift represents monetary diversification, not immediate replacement of the dollar.

Implication:
This move solidifies parallel payment systems, fragmenting global finance into regional clusters — a defining feature of the emerging post-dollar order.

Trump Administration’s Tariff Threats

President Trump has directly linked tariff policy to defense of dollar dominance.
In February 2025, he warned that any BRICS member “that even mentions the destruction of the dollar” would face 150% tariffs.

Implication:
Economic coercion now substitutes for cooperative policy — highlighting how trade, currency, and sanctions have merged into one framework of financial warfare.

Global Reserve Shift and Structural Risk

The IMF reports the U.S. dollar’s share of global reserves has fallen from 85% in the 1970s to 58% by 2022.
While still dominant, the downward trajectory underscores the growing appeal of regional and digital alternatives.

• BRICS nations now settle a growing portion of trade outside the dollar.

• Brazil’s President Lula and Russia’s President Putin have both questioned dollar dependency.

• The Financial Times reports the U.S. sees these developments as direct threats to its strategic advantage.

Why It Matters

• Dollarization as Defense: The U.S. is expanding the dollar’s footprint to counter systemic erosion of its monetary power.

• BRICS’ Alternative Systems: The rise of BRICS Pay and digital currencies shows that payment sovereignty, not reserve currency battles, defines the next phase.

• Fragmentation of Finance: Competing systems — U.S. dollarization vs. BRICS digital rails — are creating a dual-track global economy.

• Global Reset Trajectory: These moves illustrate how monetary control is shifting from central dominance to distributed, bloc-based frameworks — a hallmark of the global financial reset now underway.

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

Financial Engineering: Between Theory And Practice
 
Economic 2025/11/03   Dr. Hamid Rahim Janani The wheel of innovations and creative ideas, in the context of   finding solutions to the problems accompanying economic activity,    has never known and will never know stillness.
 
This wheel has two paths: the   first is to stop the economic decline on the one hand, and the   second is to develop the production system on the other hand.
 
The first path is expressed by the    initial stages of transformation towards development, and      this is what is happening in developing countries. As for the second path, it is the pursuit of sustainable economic growth, and   this is what is happening in economically advanced countries.
 
Our topic under discussion   involves some simulation of the idea of ​​architecture, and   contributes to achieving the two paths mentioned in the introduction:     those engineering ideas in designs that have turned some buildings into artistic masterpieces,   and others that have made wonderful use of spaces  to   solve problems and   achieve a relatively high level of well-being for the residents.
 
Financial engineering is the process of   designing,   developing, and   implementing  innovative financial instruments and  mechanisms to    find creative solutions and    streamlined financial flows    that achieve high-level results in meeting set financial objectives.
 
The inputs for financial engineering processes include   financial derivatives such as      bonds,      sukuk, and      other instruments, as well as   sovereign wealth funds,   etc.
 
Its tools used in operations are    mathematical models and    specialized computer programs, etc.
 
By combining inputs and tools,    applied models have emerged, including      (Market Neutral Funds),      (Hybrid Islamic Bonds),      (Call Option Pricing Model), and   many other innovations that   align with investors’ concerns and   address the   necessities of developing the work of financial markets and   other data.
 
In Iraq, we are in dire need of financial engineering, a    necessary step following fundamental transformations       in public financial performance.
 
These transformations include   restoring the role of financial oversight       to curb corruption,   strengthening financial governance,   finding ways to stop financial waste,   designing developmental objectives for fiscal policy and   directing financial resources towards achieving them, and   implementing technological transformation in financial operations, among others.

These are essential conditions    for establishing a developmental fiscal policy in Iraq.
 
Financial engineering then plays a crucial role in   creatively addressing problems with innovative solutions and   moving towards advanced financial performance      that achieves maximum results with minimal input— in other words,   financial efficiency and   high productivity in expenditure.
 
What has been presented is on the level of practical aspects.
 
As for finding theoretical concepts and programs with skill aspects, i.e.   finding human capital with a high ability to deal with the inputs and tools of financial engineering, the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research   should open departments that specialize in teaching this aspect of public finance,   especially technical colleges with precise specializations, and    open postgraduate studies   to find a basis for localizing this type of science.    https://alsabaah.iq/123138-.html

Johan added that the Ministry of Planning is working onadopting an integrated quality policy based on three main pillars, most notably   developing institutional and human capabilities to keep pace with the requirements of the times, and   aligning national efforts with the best international standards and practices, in order to contribute to   achieving more    efficient and   transparent government performance.  

He pointed out that the  formation of the National Quality Committee represents an important institutional step to   unify efforts among state institutions in the field of quality, and to   lay the first foundations for building an integrated national system that      enhances government performance and      improves public services.
 
The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Planning affirmed the Ministry's support forall initiatives and programs aimed at    raising the level of quality in state institutions, calling for teamwork       to achieve the supreme national interest. 

Dulaimi, considered such meetings an    important milestone in the national effort to   establish the concepts of   quality and   institutional excellence in Iraq.

He commended the Ministry of Planning's efforts in unifying visions and coordinating efforts at the national level in this field.
 
Al-Dulaimi stated that the meeting is the   culmination of continuous efforts that began in 2017,  and a continuation of the work of the National Quality Policy Monitoring and Implementation Committee, which was reconstituted by Ministerial Order No. (2564 dated 3/9/2025) to operate within a unified framework encompassing all state institutions and to enhance cooperation between the public and private sectors with the aim of developing the level of national products and services.
 
He explained that the committee is a national platform that unites efforts and restores respect for institutional work, noting that the concept of quality is not limited to being a slogan, but is a behavior, practice and national responsibility that requires continuous commitment from all concerned parties.

He added that the Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control bears a great responsibility in preparing specifications, standards and quality assurance in Iraq, and has worked to develop an integrated system that is consistent with international standards and keeps pace with scientific development to achieve comprehensive development.
 
He stressed that success in this path cannot be achieved by the efforts of one party alone, but rather through the cooperation of institutions, the unification of visions, and the shared belief that quality is the path to development, and development is the way to prosperity and progress.
 
Al-Dulaimi pointed out that the concept of quality is no longer limited to industrial sectors, but has come to include various aspects of life, from education and health to energy and the environment, 

noting that the National Quality Committee has developed a five-year strategy that extends between 2026 and 2030, which includes goals and practical projects that contribute to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals and enhance the confidence of society and international institutions in Iraq’s capabilities.
 
He explained that the committee bears a national responsibility to transform goals into tangible reality and recommendations into measurable achievements, stressing that   quality      is not an administrative luxury,   but a right of the citizen, a    national duty, and a    standard for the   progress and   advancement of nations.      https://alsabaah.iq/123139-.html

GENIUS ACT Triggered, Biggest Bank Run in History is Coming

GENIUS ACT Triggered, Biggest Bank Run in History is Coming

Daniela Cambone:  11-4-2-25

The recent pullback in gold and silver prices has led some to believe the bull market has run its course. However, macro strategist Garrett Goggin, in a compelling discussion on the Daniela Cambone show with ITM Trading, argues a different narrative: this bull market is not only far from over, it’s merely in its nascent stages.

Goggin’s thesis is rooted in a fundamental shift in global dynamics, driven by forces unlike those seen in previous cycles. The primary catalyst? Unprecedented central bank demand for physical gold.

In an increasingly volatile world, central banks are actively hoarding gold as a safer haven than the US dollar.

 Goggin points to the weaponization of the dollar, particularly highlighted by the conflict in Ukraine and the subsequent freezing of assets, as a stark warning to nations worldwide.

 This perceived vulnerability of the dollar is prompting a strategic diversification into gold, a tangible asset with a long history of preserving wealth, immune to political manipulation and asset freezes.

Furthermore, the prevailing macro environment, including the Federal Reserve’s potential pivot towards interest rate cuts and the evolving political landscape, creates a fertile ground for dollar devaluation. Such a scenario would naturally propel gold prices higher.

Beyond traditional markets, Goggin delves into the intriguing intersection of cryptocurrency and precious metals, specifically focusing on stablecoins like Tether and its innovative “Tether Gold.” He notes the US government’s recent embrace of cryptocurrency, exemplified by the “Genius Act,” which legitimizes stablecoins and integrates them into the traditional banking system.

This regulatory shift, Goggin suggests, could trigger the “biggest bank run of all time” as assets move from traditional banking into the crypto space.

Tether, a significant player in this arena, is actively accumulating gold – reportedly around 100 tons annually. Their creation of “Tether Gold” offers a unique proposition: the stability and intrinsic value of gold combined with the transferability and efficiency of cryptocurrency.

This innovation has the potential to fundamentally redefine our understanding of money and payment systems.

Goggin also observes that while crypto companies may not be direct buyers of mining operations, they are actively acquiring royalty companies that benefit from these operations. He even posits that Tether Gold could eventually surpass Tether dollars in market size, driven by gold’s inherent long-term value and the technological advantages of crypto.

While gold takes center stage, Goggin also highlights the considerable upside potential of silver.

Historically, silver tends to experience parabolic spikes near the peak of gold bull markets. With gold poised for further gains, silver remains significantly undervalued relative to its precious metal counterpart, suggesting a similar, if not more explosive, upward trajectory.

In conclusion, the ITM Trading discussion with Garrett Goggin paints a clear picture: the current environment is a perfect storm for precious metals.

Macroeconomic shifts, geopolitical realignments, and groundbreaking technological innovation in cryptocurrency are converging to create a powerful and sustained bull market for gold and silver. Far from being over, this rally is just beginning, and the potential for significant gains over the coming years is substantial.
