Dr. Scott Young: How will a Debt Bubble Break America

Dr. Scott Young: How will a Debt Bubble Break America

11-28-2025

Are we hurtling towards an economic crisis unlike anything we’ve ever seen? According to financial expert Dr. Scott Young, the answer is a resounding yes.

 In a recent, urgent analysis, Dr. Young pulls back the curtain on what he describes as a rapidly evolving AI bubble, a phenomenon he warns carries catastrophic implications for the global economy, especially the US financial system.

Dr. Young’s investigation zeroes in on the heart of the AI hype: companies like OpenAI and major tech giants such as Microsoft and Oracle. He reveals a disturbing pattern of circular financial deals designed to inflate artificial growth metrics.

Despite OpenAI grappling with massive ongoing losses, these intricate transactions paint a picture of booming success, creating an illusion of prosperity that masks deep instability.

This isn’t just another tech boom. Dr. Young contends that the current AI bubble is far larger and more dangerous than any previous economic downturn, dwarfing even the infamous dot-com crash of 2000 and the devastating 2008 real estate crisis. The scale and complexity, he suggests, are unprecedented.

The AI bubble, Dr. Young argues, is merely one of the unraveling threads in a much larger tapestry of economic peril.

 He meticulously connects the dots to the broader context of the U.S. national debt, which is spiraling out of control. With rising interest payments consuming an ever-increasing portion of government revenue, the country is caught in a cycle of unsustainable fiscal policies, driving it relentlessly toward what he calls “inevitable bankruptcy.”

He doesn’t shy away from critiquing government actions, particularly Treasury buybacks of debt using what he likens to “monopoly money.” His data on dangerously rising interest payments paints a grim picture of a system under immense strain.

The warnings aren’t isolated. Dr. Young references prominent voices like Elon Musk, who himself has cautioned that advanced AI and robotics might be the only viable tools left to stave off economic collapse.

Yet, as Dr. Young points out, even these technological marvels may only serve to delay what he views as an inevitable reckoning. He provides a historical overview of economic bubbles, illustrating how past downturns pale in comparison to the sheer scale and complexity of the current situation.

Despite the stark and often grim outlook, Dr. Young offers a powerfully optimistic vision for the aftermath.

 He theorizes that the collapse of the current financial system, while initially disruptive, will pave the way for a profound and necessary reset.

Dr. Young reassures viewers that while the deep state and financial elites will undoubtedly suffer massive losses, individuals can navigate this transition intact, and even thrive, in the new system.

It’s a message of empowerment amidst the warnings of impending change.

This comprehensive analysis from Dr. Scott Young serves as a critical wake-up call, urging us to understand the forces at play and prepare for what lies ahead. While the path may be turbulent, he offers a compelling vision of a post-collapse world that could be far more equitable and sustainable for all.

Clare:  Savaya receives orders from Trump before heading to Iraq

11/28/2025

Mark Savaya, the US president's envoy to Iraq, stated on Friday that he received his assignment orders from the commander-in-chief of the US armed forces, Donald Trump.

Savaya wrote in a post on the "X - formerly Twitter" platform that he received those orders regarding Iraq during the meeting he had with the US President on the occasion of "Thanksgiving".

Trump's envoy to Iraq did not elaborate on the details of those orders.

Last October, US President Donald Trump decided to appoint Mark Savaya as special envoy to Iraq.

Mark Savaya is the third US envoy to Iraq since Paul Bremer in 2003, and after Brett McGurk, during the war against ISIS in 2014.

The US Special Envoy to Iraq, Mark Savaya, confirmed on Friday that his mission focuses on rebuilding trust and strengthening the strategic partnership between Baghdad and Washington, noting that the relationship between the two countries is going through a phase that requires direct and honest communication that serves the interests of both peoples.    LINK

Good Afternoon  Dinar Recaps,

Geopolitics on a Knife-Edge as Peace Hopes and Conflict Risks Collide

New diplomacy efforts stir markets — but systemic risk remains high as war and uncertainty linger

Overview

• Diplomatic momentum rises: A new U.S.-backed peace proposal for the war between Russia and Ukraine — recently revised down from 28 to 19 points — has sparked fresh optimism among investors and geopolitical watchers.

• Markets respond with rallies in war-linked assets: Russian equities and frozen-asset funds, as well as Ukrainian bonds, jumped sharply as the peace plan gained traction, reflecting short-term investor confidence.

• Energy and commodity prices remain volatile as crude oil markets adjust to the dual dynamics of potential supply restoration and geopolitical uncertainty.

• Underlying instability persists: Russian military strikes continue, civilian infrastructure remains at risk, and European powers express growing concern over continued Russian aggression — underscoring that any peace deal remains fragile.

Key Developments

• Russia’s leadership signals tentative openness to talks, with officials indicating willingness to consider the revised peace framework — though considerable caveats remain.

• Frozen-asset funds and Russian-linked equities surged, with some up nearly 50% — reflecting speculative bets that sanctions could be scaled back if a deal proceeds.

• Oil prices oscillated, as markets weighed the possibility of restored Russian energy flows against the probability of renewed conflict and sanctions.

• European and NATO-aligned states voiced increasing alarm, warning that even with diplomacy, Russia’s ongoing territorial ambitions and hybrid warfare capabilities pose systemic risks to continental security and global economic stability.

Why It Matters
This moment captures the dual nature of the current geopolitical landscape: on one hand, diplomacy and peace negotiations are creating hope and fueling financial rallies; on the other, the war’s underlying dynamics and Moscow’s track record maintain a high baseline of risk. Markets and policymakers alike are being forced to price in both potential stabilization and dangerous reversals — a classic characteristic of a systemic-risk regime.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Strategic Realignment of Risk & Asset Flows: As peace hopes rise, capital moves swiftly to reprice Russia-linked assets, frozen funds, and emerging-market debt — illustrating how geopolitical shifts instantly reshape global financial flows.

• Pillar — Geopolitical Fragility & Systemic Uncertainty: Even as diplomacy advances, ongoing conflict risks and energy-market volatility reinforce that global governance, supply-chain stability, and macroeconomic order remain under threat, accelerating the push for diversified, secure asset and trade frameworks.

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

BRICS Opens New Lifeline for South African Farmers as China Unlocks $23.3 Million Market
A strategic agricultural pivot reshapes trade as South Africa turns from Washington to Beijing

Overview

• China opens a multi-fruit market for South Africa, granting access for stone fruits including prunes, plums, peaches, apricots, and cherries.

• The deal is valued at roughly 400 million rand (~$23.3 million), offering immediate relief to farmers squeezed by U.S. tariffs and trade barriers.

• South Africa’s Agriculture Ministry confirms this is China’s first multi-fruit approval for a single BRICS nation, signaling a strengthening bloc alignment.

• Farmers welcome the move as a stabilization measure amid declining predictability in U.S. trade policy.

Key Developments

• South Africa formally signs a new agricultural protocol with China, shifting export priorities away from traditional Western markets.

• China accelerates agricultural cooperation across BRICS, using its demand-driven import strategy to support member nations affected by U.S. protectionism.

• South African fruit exporters are preparing shipments, anticipating increased volumes of stone fruits headed for Chinese consumers.

• Additional fruit categories, such as cherries and berries, may soon be added under future cooperation agreements.

Why It Matters
This agreement represents more than a boost for farmers — it illustrates a widening realignment in global trade structures. As U.S. protectionism expands, BRICS nations are increasingly creating internal economic lifelines. China’s willingness to open new markets provides both economic relief and geopolitical leverage, pulling member countries closer into a shared trade framework.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Emerging-Market Trade Realignment: Redirecting agricultural exports toward BRICS partners reduces dependency on Western buyers and supports a multipolar trade system.

• Pillar — Strategic Supply-Chain Diversification: By securing stable demand from China, South Africa strengthens its agricultural resilience and reinforces BRICS internal market integration.

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

Saleh To Al-Furat News: Electronic Wallets And Mobile Banks Are The Path To Financial Inclusion For Vulnerable Groups

Time: 2025/11/29 Readings: 75 times  {Economic: Al-Furat News} The economic advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, revealed that electronic wallets and mobile banks represent a key mechanism to enhance financial inclusion for vulnerable groups in Iraq, to ​​enable women, youth and rural residents to access banking services, reduce reliance on cash, and expand financing opportunities for small and medium enterprises.

Saleh told Al-Furat News that “financial inclusion indicators in Iraq have recently risen to more than 40%, compared to previous low levels, after suffering greatly from the high percentage of the population not covered by banking, especially in remote areas that suffer from weak banking and communication infrastructure, in addition to weak financial awareness, widespread reliance on cash, and limited funding for small and micro enterprises.”

He explained that “financial literacy, human capacity building, national awareness campaigns on saving, banking services, and protection from financial fraud represent one of the pillars of financial inclusion, along with introducing financial literacy skills into school curricula and vocational education,” considering financial inclusion “one of the pillars of economic and social stability.”

Saleh pointed out that “weak access to organized financial services deepens the disparities between urban and rural groups,” stressing that “the policy required to promote financial inclusion will provide innovative options for remote areas and vulnerable and poor groups through mobile banking and the provision of direct services, in addition to developing strategic partnerships between banks and telecommunications companies to deploy mobile payment services and enhance digital transfer networks to facilitate access to financial transfers for all residents.”

According to the economic advisor, "The expected effects of these policies will contribute to integrating hundreds of thousands of citizens into the formal banking system, improving project financing opportunities, and creating new jobs by expanding affordable lending and microfinance initiatives and establishing digital platforms to connect entrepreneurs with banks and financing providers, while reducing the economy's reliance on cash and increasing transaction efficiency."

He stressed that “the Central Bank of Iraq is working on implementing a digital financial inclusion strategy in a coordinated and phased manner, focusing on digital financial transformation through electronic wallets, mobile payments, and the adoption of digital and biometric identity to open bank accounts remotely and reduce operational costs for citizens,” considering the bank account “a fundamental pillar in financial inclusion.”

Saleh concluded by saying that “enhancing financial inclusion requires an integrated vision that combines digitalization, financial regulation, capacity building and expanding financing for small projects,” noting that “implementing these policies will create a more inclusive and sustainable economy and enhance the resilience of families and projects in remote areas and their active participation in sustainable development, in line with the 2024-2028 development plan and Iraq’s 2050 vision.”  LINK

“Tidbits From TNT” Saturday 11-29-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  The exchange rate dilemma: Government alternatives between deficit financing and economic stability

By Dr. Ahmed Hadhhal, Professor of Financial Economics

In light of the financial indicators for the 2026 budget, it appears that the exchange rate will be the focus of economic decision-making and the last line of defense against the widening deficit gap, which is expected to reach 70–90 trillion dinars.

 With the slowdown in non-oil revenues, the rise in current expenditures, and the decline in the ability to borrow domestically, fiscal policy enters a critical area that leaves the government with limited and difficult options.

The first logical solution is to rationalize spending and reduce non-salary operating expenses, and to control non-oil revenues through a strict automation and collection system, as well as reforming the state's financial management and reducing the spread of administrative and financial corruption.

This can significantly reduce the deficit. Reducing privileges and imposing mandatory savings on senior officials can add a large amount to public finances, in addition to this measure being a gesture of goodwill to society so that it accepts the high costs of reform.

Selling or investing part of the state's assets may provide between 10-15 trillion dinars, an amount that covers only a limited part of the gap. Even when these measures are applied together, the deficit remains high and cannot be fully financed through domestic borrowing without risking a large jump in domestic debt. Therefore, reform must be real through a structural "surgical operation" on spending and revenue items.

The exchange rate appears to be a short-term option, as the government recognizes that the resources generated by raising the exchange rate are the fastest and most effective way to bridge the financing gap.

 Trends and potential scenarios indicate that raising the rate from 1300 to 1500-2000 dinars would provide between 15 and 70 trillion dinars, depending on the level of the increase and the volume of dollar sales.

 This makes adjusting the exchange rate a readily available financial tool that the state resorts to when traditional methods fail to close the gap.

I believe this policy represents a price the economy pays for maintaining the current monetary policy throughout the period of pegging.

Therefore, the government might consider integrating financing tools instead of relying on a single option:

1- A genuine reduction in operating expenses by 15-20%.
2- Reform of the spending system and financial oversight to ensure that artificial inflation in expenditures is not repeated.
3- Selling and investing specific highly liquid assets to secure quick resources.

A gradual and well-considered adjustment of the exchange rate towards 1500-1700 dinars as a starting point is advisable, with the risk of reaching 2000 if oil revenues do not improve.

Combining these tools together reduces the deficit pressure to limits that can be financed internally, and the central bank may pay for this adjustment through its reserves, given that most government spending is directed towards consumption and is considered a tool for effective aggregate demand directed towards imports financed and covered by the exchange rate.

Tishwash:  United States to inaugurate its largest Middle East diplomatic facility in Iraq's Erbil

Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources Michael Rigas will visit Erbil to inaugurate the new US Consulate General during his Middle East tour.

The United States will soon open its largest diplomatic facility in the Middle East, the new Consulate General in Erbil, the capital city of the Iraqi Kurdistan region, according to the US State Department.

Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources Michael Rigas will visit Erbil to inaugurate the new US Consulate General during his Middle East tour from 27 November to 5 December, the State Department said in a statement on Tuesday. 

The department stated that Rigas will also visit Baghdad, meet with Iraqi officials, and tour US diplomatic facilities.

The department added that Rigas's itinerary includes stops in Istanbul, Baghdad, Erbil, and Jerusalem. The purpose of his travel is to emphasise US commitments to stability, security, religious freedom, and prosperity in the region.

Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Prime Minister Masrour Barzani stated on Wednesday that the opening of the largest US consulate in Erbil is "a major indicator... for the strong relations between the United States and the Kurdistan Region."

The current US Consulate General, located in Erbil's Ankawa suburb, has been targeted several times by drones reportedly launched by pro-Iran militias in Iraq.

In June 2025, amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, the United States ordered non-emergency government personnel to leave its diplomatic missions in Iraq, while maintaining essential embassy and consulate operations.

According to the official website of the US embassy in Iraq, the Consulate General in Erbil serves the four provinces of the Kurdistan Region: Erbil, Sulaimaniyah, Duhok, and Halabja. It includes an executive office led by the Consul General, as well as sections for political and economic affairs, public diplomacy, consular services, rule of law, management, and security. The USAID office for the Iraqi Kurdistan Region is also located at the Consulate General.  link

Tishwash:  Income gap: Iraq lags behind oil-producing countries despite its enormous wealth

The income gap reveals that the per capita share of Iraq does not exceed $5,800, while Qatar and Oman shockingly surpass it, reflecting the failure of oil wealth management to improve the standard of living.

The latest data from the International Monetary Fund reveals an unprecedented gap in income levels within the Arab world. The figures show that the richest Gulf state (Qatar) is ahead of Iraq by more than 1100% in per capita GDP, while the poorest Gulf state (Oman) is ahead of it by 230%. This shockingly shows that Iraqis are effectively living outside the club of oil-producing countries, despite the enormous wealth that their country possesses.

Qatar tops the list with $71,400 per person annually, while Iraq stands at only $5,800, a very low position compared to oil-producing countries, revealing a deep flaw in the conversion of natural resources into economic prosperity.

Iraq is out of the oil club.

According to the index, even economically unstable countries like Libya ($6,900) and Algeria ($6,100) outperform Iraq.

Oman (the poorest of the Gulf countries in terms of income) is also ahead of it by more than three times, with a share of $19,100 per person.

In contrast, Iraq only surpasses countries with limited resources such as Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, and Egypt, which places it in the category of a “middle-income economy” despite its enormous oil and human potential. Iraq possesses:

 One of the world's largest oil reserves

Annual revenues exceeding $100 billion

A huge young and productive workforce

However, the per capita share does not reflect this wealth, indicating a clear imbalance in resource management, weak productivity, and the dominance of unproductive activities.

Three clear economic messages...

1. The failure to utilize oil revenues for the welfare of the citizen, due to the almost complete dependence on rent.

2. The dominance of the public sector and the inflation of operating expenses at the expense of investment.

3. The absence of a diversified economy capable of creating added value and real income for the individual.

What does this mean for the Iraqi citizen?

Thus, Iraq’s ranking reveals that economic growth does not reach the lives of citizens , and that the standard of living does not represent the true wealth of the country. It also places the next government before the responsibility of restructuring the economy and transforming natural wealth into actual development (if it has the ability and will to do so).  link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Global Markets Rebound as Rate-Cut Bets Ignite Risk Appetite

Investors reposition portfolios as equities rally, bonds stabilize, and liquidity surges across short-term credit markets

Overview

• Global equities rallied at the end of November as expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut strengthened, boosting investor confidence.

• Treasury yields steadied, supported by renewed optimism in fixed-income markets.

• Money-market fund inflows increased, reflecting a preference for liquidity amid ongoing valuation concerns in equities.

• Precious metals strengthened, indicating continued hedging behavior against macroeconomic uncertainty.

Key Developments

• Asian and U.S. markets surged, responding to growing expectations that the Fed will cut rates in December.

• Bond markets saw renewed stability, as investors positioned for potential easing in global monetary policy.

• Short-term credit and money-market instruments gained traction, with investors rotating out of overvalued equity sectors.

• Global equity funds recorded their first outflow in ten weeks, as portfolios shifted toward balance and risk mitigation.

Why It Matters
This broad-based market rebound signals a turning point after weeks of volatility. Investors are recalibrating their portfolios around the possibility of looser monetary policy, creating a new equilibrium between equities, bonds, short-term credit, and safe-haven assets. The shift reflects a deeper structural adjustment within the global financial system.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Financial System Re-Calibration: Changes in interest-rate expectations are restructuring liquidity flows, risk pricing, and investor positioning — core elements of global financial reset dynamics.

• Pillar — Portfolio Diversification & Risk Hedging: Increased allocations to money-market instruments and precious metals highlight a broader movement toward defensive diversification as systemic vulnerabilities become more visible.

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

Dollar Weakens as Global Liquidity Shifts Toward Alternative Stores of Value

Currency markets react to rising rate-cut expectations, surging metals, and a pivot toward diversified reserves

Overview

• The U.S. dollar weakened modestly as global investors repositioned ahead of expected Federal Reserve rate cuts.

• Money-market data shows shifting liquidity patterns, with inflows moving into cash-like instruments rather than dollar-denominated risk assets.

• Precious metals surged, underscoring increased demand for alternative safe-haven stores of value outside traditional currencies.

• Central banks and institutional investors are diversifying, reflecting growing caution around dollar strength and long-term value stability.

Key Developments

• A weakening dollar index reflects changing global expectations as interest-rate forecasts shift.

• Short-term U.S. funding markets remain strong, but rising inflows into money-market funds suggest investors are seeking protection against currency volatility.

• Gold and other metals are attracting increased reserve interest, indicating that some institutions are hedging currency exposure with non-fiat assets.

• Global investors are recalibrating forex positions, responding to evolving geopolitical risks and uncertainties surrounding U.S. policy direction.

Why It Matters
A weakening dollar — even modestly — has far-reaching implications across global trade, commodity pricing, emerging-market debt, and reserve management strategies. When combined with strong safe-haven demand and shifts in funding markets, it signals that confidence in traditional currency hierarchies is beginning to evolve.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Currency Realignment: As dollar softening converges with rising demand for metals and alternative assets, global market participants are preparing for a more multipolar currency structure.

• Pillar — Reserve Diversification: Increasing institutional interest in non-dollar stores of value suggests a slow rebalancing of global reserves — a foundational change in the international monetary landscape.

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

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Saturday Morning 11-29-25

Central Bank Governor: Digital Currency Will Solve 90% Of The Problems In The Iraqi Financial System

banks  Economy News – Baghdad   The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, affirmed on Thursday that lasting solutions must be built in a way that closes the gaps in the financial system. He explained that the tools available today, especially modern technology, offer effective solutions and address many of these gaps.

Al-Alaq said during the "Investing in Reconstruction... The Role of Banks" conference in Beirut that "the main problem between the Iraqi treasury and society is the use of the dollar in cash within Iraq, which is a normal social matter in Iraqi society. He added: "We have worked on this issue and presented other alternatives that reduce dependence on cash, and we have developed the financial system so that cash dollars are restricted to travelers only."

He explained that the "traveler's dollar" system prevents any attempts at circumvention, emphasizing that the US Federal Reserve indicated Iraq ranks first in controlling the use of cash dollars within the country. He noted that these measures have reduced the use of foreign currency by 80% and shifted the majority of domestic financial transactions to the Iraqi dinar.

Al-Alaq concluded his remarks by noting that work is underway to develop the digital currency, which is expected to solve about 90% of the financial problems in Iraq, stressing that this step represents one of the radical solutions for the financial system in the country.   https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62785

The Central Bank Of Iraq Announces The Success Of Its Monetary Policy In Curbing Inflation.

banks  Economy News – Baghdad   The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed on Thursday that there is no intention to change the official exchange rate. While noting that the rumors that are spread from time to time aim to speculate in the parallel market, it pointed out that its monetary policy has succeeded in curbing inflation, as evidenced by international recognition.

Alaa Al-Fahd, a member of the Central Bank's media office, said, "There are parties trying to fish in troubled waters and spread rumors and false news that are far from the Central Bank's jurisdiction in order to raise exchange rates in the parallel market," indicating that "the Central Bank always defends monetary policy and the general price level."

Al-Fahd added that “inflation rates in Iraq have reached, according to international testimony (the IMF and the World Bank), low and historic rates compared to the countries of the region, and have even reached the negative rate, which is happening for the first time and is considered an achievement for monetary policy in preserving purchasing power, especially for the poor classes.”

He explained that "the Central Bank continues to finance foreign trade with high smoothness, while diversifying the basket of foreign currencies (Chinese yuan, UAE dirham, Turkish lira), as well as shifting from the electronic platform to strengthening balances through direct correspondence with global banks," stressing that "these measures have achieved clear monetary stability."

Regarding the difference between the official and parallel market rates, Al-Fahd explained that "the price in the parallel market does not reflect the real demand for the dollar, but rather represents an illegal and unofficial demand for speculation, since the Central Bank covers the legitimate demands for financing trade and travel," noting that "any talk about changing the exchange rate issued by non-experts aims to confuse the public."

Al-Fahd stressed that “determining the exchange rate is the exclusive prerogative of the Central Bank according to the legal article in Law No. 56 of 2004, and despite coordination with the government and the Ministry of Finance, the technical opinion of the Central Bank at this stage does not support any change or increase in the exchange rate due to the stability achieved in monetary reserves and price levels.”  https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62791

Trump's Envoy: There Is No Place For Armed Groups In Iraq

November 27, 2025   London – Al-Zaman  : US President Donald Trump’s envoy, Mark Savaya, confirmed on Thursday that the Iraqi government must identify those responsible for the attack on the Kormor oil field and bring them to justice, while noting that it should be clear that there is no place for armed groups in Iraq.

Savaya said in a post on the X platform that “illegal armed groups, driven by hostile foreign agendas, launched an attack yesterday on the Khor Mor gas field.”

He continued: “The Iraqi government must identify those responsible for this attack and bring them to justice. Let it be crystal clear: there is no place for such armed groups in a fully sovereign Iraq.” He added that “the United States will fully support these efforts, and every illegal armed group and every supporter of it will be tracked down, confronted, and held accountable.”

He added, “The United States supports a strong Kurdistan within a unified and stable Iraq, and we encourage Baghdad and Erbil to deepen their security cooperation and work closely to protect vital infrastructure for the economy and energy.”

He noted that “the United States reaffirms its unwavering commitment to assisting the Iraqi government in strengthening its defense capabilities and building its national forces. Together, we will continue to protect Iraq’s resources, defend its sovereignty, and ensure the security and well-being of all its citizens.”  LINK

Brent Crude Futures Stabilize

Economy |  28/11/2025   Mawazin News - Follow-up:   Brent crude futures saw little change as investors awaited progress in Russian-Ukrainian peace talks and the outcome of Sunday's OPEC+ meeting for clues about potential supply changes that could impact prices.

Gold Continues To Rise And Is On Track For Its Fourth Consecutive Monthly Gain.

Economy | 28/11/2025  Mawazin News - Follow-up:   Gold prices rose, continuing their upward trajectory towards achieving monthly gains for the fourth consecutive month, supported by increasing expectations of a US Federal Reserve interest rate cut next month. Silver also continued its ascent, nearing a new record high, just one dollar away.

Gold traded near $4,190 an ounce, up about 5% during the week, bolstered by a wave of statements from Federal Reserve officials and delayed US economic data due to the government shutdown, which increased the likelihood of a rate cut. Swaps traders are pricing in a probability exceeding 80% for a quarter-point cut in December.

The US government shutdown, the longest in history, has delayed the release of key economic statistics, and some may not be released at all, making it difficult for the Fed and investors to assess the state of the world's largest economy and reinforcing the trend towards gold as a safe haven.

Gold has posted near-monthly gains throughout the year and is on track for its best annual performance since 1979, supported by heavy central bank buying and strong investor inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This pushed it past $4,380 an ounce last month, a record high.

Gold has held steady above $4,000 this month despite retreating from its peak, while ETF inflows have remained stable for the fourth consecutive week. Silver rose 1%, nearing its all-time high, supported by tight supply, increased ETF inflows, and expectations of interest rate cuts. Gold climbed to $4,190.17 an ounce by 10:03 a.m. in Singapore.

The spot dollar index remained steady, platinum edged higher after a strong 1.6% jump on Thursday, and silver and palladium continued to post notable gains.

Global markets are awaiting all the expected signals before the Federal Reserve enters its period of media silence, at a time when alternative assets, including gold, are witnessing increasing demand as investors withdraw from government bonds and currencies.   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270876
