Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

U.S. Labor Market Cools as Weak Jobs Report Reshapes Federal Reserve Expectations

A weaker-than-expected June employment report has strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve may pause interest rate increases, as slower hiring points to a cooling labor market despite a stable unemployment rate.

Overview

• U.S. employers added only 57,000 jobs in June, roughly half of economists' forecasts.

• Financial markets sharply reduced expectations for a near-term Federal Reserve rate hike.

• Investors are now focused on upcoming Fed meeting minutes for guidance on future monetary policy.

Key Developments

1. Hiring Slows More Than Expected

The U.S. economy added 57,000 new jobs in June, well below expectations, while payroll gains for previous months were also revised lower. The slower pace of hiring suggests labor demand is beginning to soften after several years of strong employment growth.

2. Unemployment Rate Remains Low

The unemployment rate edged down to 4.2%, although much of the decline reflected fewer people participating in the labor force rather than stronger hiring. Overall, labor market conditions remain relatively stable despite slowing job creation.

3. Markets Reduce Rate Hike Expectations

Following the report, traders significantly lowered expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates at its next policy meeting. Investors increasingly believe policymakers have less urgency to tighten monetary policy if the economy continues to moderate.

4. Dollar Weakens as Treasury Yields Ease

The employment report pushed Treasury yields lower while the U.S. dollar weakened against several major currencies. Financial markets interpreted the softer labor data as reducing inflationary pressure and lowering the likelihood of additional monetary tightening.

5. Attention Turns to the Federal Reserve

Investors are now awaiting the release of the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes for further insight into policymakers' views on inflation, employment, and future interest rate decisions.

Why It Matters

Employment remains one of the Federal Reserve's most closely watched economic indicators. Slower hiring could reduce inflation pressures while allowing policymakers greater flexibility in balancing economic growth with price stability.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Federal Reserve policy influences the value of the U.S. dollar and global currency markets. Any shift toward fewer interest rate increases can affect exchange rates, precious metals, international investment flows, and expectations surrounding future monetary policy.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Debt

A slower labor market may reduce inflation pressures and influence future interest rate decisions, affecting government borrowing costs, debt servicing, and broader financial conditions worldwide.

• Pillar 3 – Assets

Changing expectations for Federal Reserve policy continue to impact the U.S. dollar, bonds, gold, and other financial assets as investors reposition portfolios based on future monetary policy.

Future Outlook

Upcoming Federal Reserve communications and additional employment reports will determine whether the recent slowdown represents a temporary pause or the beginning of a broader economic moderation. Markets will continue watching inflation and labor market data closely as expectations for future interest rate decisions evolve.

This is not just about employment—it reflects how labor market conditions influence monetary policy, financial markets, and the broader direction of the global economy.

The Gold Revaluation Hiding in a Bitcoin Bill

The Gold Revaluation Hiding in a Bitcoin Bill

APMEX:  7-6-2026

A new House bill, H.R. 8957, has reignited talk of gold revaluation — and some are claiming it's imminent. We break down what the bill actually proposes, why it echoes the 1934 Gold Reserve Act, and what a gold revaluation could mean for gold, silver, the dollar, and Treasury markets.

In the evolving landscape of global finance, legislative proposals often spark intense debate regarding the future of the U.S. dollar and our national reserves. One such proposal making waves is H.R. 8957, the American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026.

 This bill suggests exploring the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve. However, to understand the true impact of this proposal, we must look beyond the headlines and examine the historical and economic foundations of how governments manage their assets.

At the heart of the discussion surrounding H.R. 8957 is the fundamental economic principle that “there is no such thing as a free lunch.” Every financial action taken by a government carries inherent costs and potential “second-order effects.”

When evaluating the proposal to acquire Bitcoin, it is essential to consider how these assets would be funded. The bill explores the potential for budget-neutral acquisitions, a concept that often leads analysts back to the Federal Reserve’s gold certificates.

While the idea of revaluing these certificates sounds like a simple accounting maneuver, history warns us that such actions rarely come without a price—specifically, the risk of significant inflationary pressure.

To understand the gravity of H.R. 8957, we must revisit the 1934 Gold Reserve Act and the legacy of the Bretton Woods system.

Historically, when governments have revalued gold, they have effectively expanded the money supply. For instance, increasing the official price of gold from $20.67 to $35 per ounce in the 1930s was a tool used to stimulate the economy, yet it resulted in noticeable inflationary impacts. If the current Federal Reserve were to adjust the official valuation of gold to align with modern market prices—potentially reaching $4,000 per ounce or higher—the injection of liquidity into the system would be massive.

Such a move could significantly weaken the purchasing power of the dollar, potentially driving up the prices of both gold and Bitcoin.

It is vital for investors and citizens alike to maintain a balanced perspective. H.R. 8957 is currently a mandate to study these possibilities, not a definitive action plan to revalue the nation’s gold.

The proposal is an exploration of policy, not an immediate shift in monetary reality. Market enthusiasts should be wary of treating this bill as a guarantee of future price spikes. Gold’s long-term value is driven by fundamental economic indicators—such as interest rates, debt levels, and overall macroeconomic health—rather than temporary accounting adjustments.

For those keeping a close eye on the markets, the key takeaway is to prioritize substance over speculation. True signals regarding the future of your wealth will come from the Federal Reserve’s ongoing monetary policy decisions and their approach to controlling inflation.

Rather than chasing speculative theories about sudden gold revaluations, smart observers should monitor the board’s stance on interest rates and systemic liquidity.

For a deeper dive into these complex economic forces and to explore the historical context of reserve management, we encourage you to watch the full educational video provided by APMEX on YouTube. Understanding the mechanics behind our currency is the first step toward making informed financial decisions in an uncertain economy.

RV Excerpts from Dinar Chronicles via a GCR Update as of Mon. 6 July 2026

Compiled Mon. 6 July 2026 12:01 am ET by Patrick DaCosta

Sun. 5 July 2026 THEY AREN’T PREPARING YOU FOR WHAT HAPPENS AFTER JULY 29. …Web3.0 ISO20022 on Telegram

Еveryone is obsessed with if this will happen, while almost no one is ready for what to do once it does. That’s the trap. The system is already shifting. The real test is not the exchange itself, it’s what you become the moment you’re funded and visible.

In these last days before JULY 29, I’m not chasing confirmation anymore. I’m building structure:
• A simple written plan for my first 72 hours after exchange
• A clear list of debts I will close immediately and which ones I will never touch again
• Names of people and projects I will support first, in order, without emotion making me improvise

Nothing fancy. Just decisions made before the numbers hit the screen.

I’m also noticing how the U.S. narrative is being shaped in advance:
• “Financial crime prevention” used as an excuse for more control
• “Digital safety” framed as a reason to monitor every movement
• New talking points that make anyone who wants independence look “suspicious”

They are preparing the public to accept tighter walls. I am preparing quietly to live outside those walls.

One more thing: if you haven’t received any direct instruction yet, don’t let fear rewrite your identity. There are phases. There are windows. The ledger reads alignment, not panic. Desperation scrambles decisions. Clarity stabilizes your position.

I’m using this window to become someone the system can’t shake once the switch flips – someone who can’t be bought, rushed, or guilt-tripped. Because after JULY 29, the real question won’t be whether the reset is real.

The question will be whether you are ready to live as if it is.

Global Currency Reset:

Sun. 5 July 2026 Web3.0 ISO20022: The global financial system has officially (allegedly) migrated to the ISO 20022 standard, rendering legacy SWIFT protocols obsolete and initiating a total decoupling from traditional central banking debt ledgers. This transition(allegedly)  marks the activation of Tier 4B liquidity and the calibration of Quantum Vaults, moving the world into a Web 3.0 financial environment where asset-backed valuations replace fiat structures through an automated “zero-out” sequence of legacy debts. Ultimately, this shift represents a localized and systemic reset, replacing aging mainframes with a high-speed, digital ledger infrastructure designed for the modern era.

Sun. 5 July 2026 Web3.0 ISO20022: As the transition toward a Web3.0 ISO 20022 infrastructure approaches, the focus must shift from debating the validity of the global financial reset to establishing a rigorous operational framework for the immediate aftermath. This systemic evolution demands more than just anticipation; it requires a structured 72-hour execution plan, definitive debt management strategies, and a commitment to financial independence to counter increasing government narratives surrounding “digital safety” and surveillance. By prioritizing psychological clarity over panic and building a foundation that exists outside traditional institutional control, participants can successfully navigate the transition, ensuring they are not just recipients of new wealth, but resilient architects of their own future in a post-switch economy.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Late Sunday Evening 7-5-26

Iraq Promises Rewards For Reporting Stolen Public Funds

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi urged citizens on Saturday to report stolen public funds, promising rewards for those who assist in recovering embezzled money as part of a national crackdown on corruption.

Al-Zaidi called on all people to disclose public assets and finances gained via corruption offenses and to participate in exposing, retrieving, and returning them to the state, according to a statement released by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

In accordance with the law, whistleblowers will be awarded a satisfying cash percentage, according to the statement.

The Iraqi government launched a countrywide anti-corruption campaign last week known as “Operation Dawn.” Al-Zaidi ordered the crackdown, which has resulted in the arrests of several lawmakers and senior officials, as well as the recovery of millions of dollars, gold, luxurious cars, and real estate.

Iraqi security forces began the massive campaign following judicial orders, targeting dozens of current and former government officials.

The step, which included lifting parliamentary immunity and overnight raids in Baghdad’s Green Zone, is based on confessions and investigations into the major arrest of Adnan al-Jumaili, a deputy oil minister accused of corruption.

The Iraqi Prime Minister’s legal advisor, Munir Haddad, said last week that the number of suspects continues to increase as investigations with the arrested ones are ongoing.

Some of the suspects attempted to leave the country or seek a safe haven in Iraqi Kurdistan, but Kurdish authorities have shown cooperation and handed over eight suspects so far.

The offenses being investigated include both typical embezzlement and money laundering.

Iraq Pushes For Higher OPEC+ Oil Quota As 2027 Capacity Review Looms

Berlin – Seven OPEC+ members decided on Sunday to again raise oil production quotas as Gulf countries reel from the Middle East war.

Ministers from key OPEC+ countries Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman met virtually on Sunday and “decided to implement a production adjustment of 188 thousand barrels per day,” a statement from the organisation said, adding that “this adjustment will be implemented in August 2026”.

Gulf countries had to cut output after the near-paralysis of the Strait of Hormuz orchestrated by Iran during the war in the Middle East, which blocked their oil exports for several months.

Between the first quarter of 2026 and May, combined production by Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Kuwait — three of the seven countries raising their quotas — fell by some six million barrels per day, OPEC data have shown.

But on June 17, Tehran and Washington signed a memorandum of understanding, committing themselves to removing obstacles to maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz for the duration of talks following the signature.

Giovanni Staunovo, a commodity analyst at the Swiss bank UBS, told AFP that “for now, production is probably still below” OPEC+’s targets.

– Time-consuming restart –

Since the memorandum of understanding was signed, ship transport in the region has slowly recovered, with oil prices dropping sharply to levels comparable to those seen before the war in anticipation of a gradual return to normal.

Oil supplies through this shipping lane may already have exceeded ten million barrels a day, according to a US official quoted by the Bloomberg agency.

But the oil currently leaving the strait has up to now been sitting in tankers or storage facilities, said Saxo Bank analyst Ole Hansen, adding that “shut-in production takes time to restart”.

“Assuming shipping continues to normalise, July will show an improvement with August probably being the month where the pickup accelerates,” he told AFP.

– Cohesion at stake –

“For next year, everybody is anticipating a surplus,” Jorge Leon, an analyst at Rystad Energy, told AFP.

Rebuilding the inventories that countries tapped during the conflict should help absorb the flows at first, but producers may face a strong downward pressure on prices later on.

And OPEC+, already weakened by the departure of the United Arab Emirates from the group in May, will have to manage sliding prices while members will push for production increases.

Iraq, in particular, has asked the cartel to raise production quotas to make up for the shortfall it incurred during the war in the Middle East, the Iraqi Oil Ministry said in late June.

But Hansen said the need for a higher quota “is not imminent” as production volumes are still far from their pre-conflict levels.

“Iraq’s request may become part of the 2027 capacity review, where production baselines will be examined,” he added.

At the end of the year, the OPEC+ is indeed due to reassess members’ quotas based on their ability to produce more, which could become a thorny issue.

Iraq Signs Halliburton Deal To Boost Oil And Gas Production

Baghdad – Iraq’s government and US oil services giant Halliburton signed a deal Sunday to manage two oil fields in the country’s south, as Baghdad looks to boost production.

The state-owned “Basra Oil Company has signed a joint management contract with the American company Halliburton for the Bin Omar and Sinbad oil fields” in Basra province, said the Iraqi oil ministry’s media office.

Iraqi Oil Minister Bassem Khodeir said the deal with Halliburton aligns with the government’s plans to “boost oil and gas production capacity.”

He added that Iraq aims to boost oil output at the Bin Omar field by 150,000 barrels per day (bpd) within five years, along with 300 million cubic feet of associated gas.

Production at the Sinbad oil field should increase by 80,000 to 100,000 bpd.

Baghdad’s new government, led by Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi, has urged the OPEC oil cartel to increase Iraq’s oil production quota, taking into account the damage done to its industry from past conflicts and the recent Middle East war.

Like other oil producers, Iraq, a founding member of OPEC, was greatly affected by the US-Iran conflict, as it is hugely dependent on oil exports, which make up about 90 percent of its budget revenues.

The new contract with Halliburton was signed prior to Zaidi’s upcoming visit to Washington later this month.

Zaidi, who only recently took office with the blessing of the United States, hopes to attract more US investment to Iraq, which urgently needs to revive its economy, especially after revenue losses caused by the halt of oil exports during the Middle East war.

Chief Justice Faiq Zidan Orders Major Overhaul Of Iraqi Judiciary

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Supreme Judicial Council of Iraq has enacted an expansive administrative overhaul across the federal judiciary following a series of executive decrees issued on Sunday, July 5, 2026. Authorized by the President of the Council, Judge Faiq Zidan, these fundamental structural realignments include high-level reassignments, the rotation of key leadership benches, and the deployment of twelve senior judges to the federal appellate court.

Legal observers consider this judicial restructuring to be one of the most comprehensive institutional reorganizations in recent years, explicitly designed to maximize institutional efficiency, optimize administrative oversight, and enhance institutional performance across provincial jurisdictions.

According to official court documentation obtained by IraqiNews.com, Judge Zidan authorized the immediate assignment of twelve prominent judges to serve as temporary delegates within the Federal Court of Cassation under the explicit statutory provisions of the Judicial Organization Law.

Simultaneously, the Supreme Judicial Council formalized a crucial executive change within the national prosecution apparatus by assigning Judge Adel Khudhair Abbas to officially assume the responsibilities of Chief of Public Prosecution. Prior to this landmark appointment, Judge Abbas served as a leading member of the Judicial Oversight Commission, bringing extensive institutional evaluation experience to the state’s highest prosecutorial office.

The judicial decrees also introduced targeted structural changes within the provincial court leadership of Babylon, Saladin, and Anbar provinces, replacing several outgoing officials with experienced appellate jurists to lead regional judicial headquarters. Under these new directives, the Deputy President of the Babylon Appeals Court, Hamid Mahdi Thomas, has been elevated to officially run the Babylon Appeals Court.

In a parallel move, the Deputy President of the Saladin Appeals Court, Walid Ahmed Kurdi, was advanced to manage the Saladin Appeals Court. Finally, the Deputy President of the Anbar Appeals Court, Ali Daij Jariyan, received a direct assignment to take full operational control of the Anbar Appeals Court, concluding a highly strategic institutional rotation within Iraq’s judicial hierarchy.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

OPEC+ Boosts Oil Production as Falling Energy Prices Lift Global Markets

OPEC+ has agreed to increase oil production for a fifth consecutive month as shipping through the Strait of Hormuz continues to recover, helping push crude prices lower. The decline in energy prices has improved investor confidence, eased inflation concerns, and strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve may have greater flexibility on interest rates.

Overview

• OPEC+ will increase oil production by 188,000 barrels per day beginning in August as global energy markets stabilize.

• Lower oil prices and improving Gulf shipping are easing inflation pressures and supporting stock market gains.

• Investors are now turning their attention toward Federal Reserve policy and second-quarter corporate earnings.

Key Developments

1. OPEC+ Expands Oil Production Again

Seven OPEC+ members—including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman—agreed to raise production by 188,000 barrels per day beginning in August. The increase continues the gradual reversal of production cuts introduced during the 2023 global banking turmoil and reflects improving market conditions.

2. Strait of Hormuz Recovery Supports Energy Supplies

Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz continues to normalize following the U.S.-Iran ceasefire and ongoing diplomatic efforts. Although vessel traffic remains below pre-conflict levels, the reopening of this critical energy corridor has helped restore confidence in global oil supplies.

3. Oil Prices Fall as Supply Improves

Brent crude has retreated to roughly pre-conflict levels near $72 per barrel, reflecting increased production, recovering exports, softer demand from China, and improving shipping conditions. Analysts believe the market may face a period of short-term oversupply if current trends continue.

4. Lower Energy Prices Boost Wall Street

Falling oil prices helped lift investor sentiment as the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached another record while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq continued advancing. Lower fuel costs are easing inflation expectations, reducing pressure on consumers and businesses alike.

5. Federal Reserve and Earnings Become the Next Focus

With inflation moderating, investors are closely watching upcoming Federal Reserve meeting minutes, economic data, and second-quarter earnings reports. Strong corporate earnings combined with stable inflation could provide additional support for financial markets during the second half of the year.

Why It Matters

Energy prices remain one of the largest drivers of global inflation and economic growth. As oil markets stabilize, businesses benefit from lower transportation and production costs while consumers gain relief through reduced fuel prices, creating more favorable conditions for economic expansion.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Lower oil prices often influence inflation, interest rate expectations, and currency valuations worldwide. A more stable energy market also supports global trade and financial confidence, factors closely monitored by investors following international monetary developments.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 2 – Trade

The continued reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and expanding oil production improve global supply chains, strengthen international trade, and reduce disruptions across one of the world's most important shipping corridors.

• Pillar 5 – Energy

Higher OPEC+ production and recovering Gulf exports increase global energy supplies, helping stabilize oil prices while supporting long-term energy security and economic recovery.

Future Outlook

Markets will now focus on whether improving energy supplies continue to moderate inflation without slowing economic growth. Upcoming Federal Reserve communications and corporate earnings reports will provide important signals about the strength of the U.S. economy during the second half of the year.

If oil prices remain stable and earnings continue to outperform expectations, investor confidence could strengthen further despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainties.

This is not just about oil prices—it reflects how improving energy security, recovering global trade, and moderating inflation are working together to support broader economic stability and financial market confidence.

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.

For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Our mission here is different:   • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.

You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents.    Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

Monday Iraq News Posted by Tishwash at TNT 7-6-2026

TNT:

Tishwash:  Integrity Commission: The next step in the funds recovery case holds many surprises.

The Integrity Commission has stated that the upcoming phase of the asset recovery file holds many surprises. Abbas Mutab, Director General of the Recovery Department at the Federal Integrity Commission, told the official newspaper that "the Commission has managed to recover approximately half of the accused individuals who fled Iraq compared to the previous period, in addition to a very good percentage of the funds recovered from abroad."

He emphasized "the significant cooperation with Interpol and law enforcement agencies," adding that "there is a problem with cooperation with other countries regarding the extradition of some accused individuals, and the differences in laws between Iraq and other countries. What is applied on the ground in Iraq cannot be applied in other countries.

Moreover, the funds that fled Iraq have become intertwined with the economies of other countries, which necessitates a file to study the case, follow up on it, gather evidence, and implement it to prove that these funds belong to Iraq."

Mutab explained that "the upcoming phase of the asset recovery file for this year holds many surprises, whether in terms of large sums of money or accused individuals who fled the country years ago, and that these efforts are being carried out with the support of the head of the Integrity Commission and the head of the Supreme Judicial Council."  lin

Tishwash:  Targeting 150,000 barrels per day, Iraq signs a contract with Halliburton to manage the Bin Omar and Sindbad oil fields.

The Iraqi Ministry of Oil announced on Sunday the signing of an integrated management contract for the Bin Omar and Sindbad oil fields in Basra Governorate between the Basra Oil Company and the American company Halliburton, as part of the government's plans to develop the energy sector.

Oil Minister Bassem Mohammed Khudair Al-Abadi, during his sponsorship of the signing ceremony, said that this five-year contract comes in implementation of the ministry’s strategy aimed at increasing production capacities of oil and associated gas in cooperation with reputable international companies.

The minister explained that the target during the contract period is to raise crude oil production rates in the “Ben Omar” field to reach 150,000 barrels per day, in addition to investing 300 million standard cubic feet (MMcf) per day of associated gas.

Al-Abadi added that production rates in the “Sindbad” field will also witness development to reach between 80,000 and 100,000 barrels per day, with an increase in the capacity of associated gas invested from 240 to 260 million standard cubic feet per day, stressing that these projects will provide great flexibility to equip the country’s electricity production stations.

The Minister of Oil affirmed that the Ministry is committed to strengthening its partnerships with major international companies, particularly American ones, and overcoming all obstacles to achieve development goals, praising the long experience of Halliburton, which has been operating in Iraq since 2003.  link

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

Tishwash:  "Omoda and Jaiko": Iraqis are experiencing growth by international standards and deserve advanced cars that are subject to strict oversight.

Omoda and Jaeco Motors affirmed their confidence in the Iraqi market, noting that Iraqis are experiencing growth by international standards and deserve advanced cars that are subject to strict oversight, while pledging to provide after-sales services, smart technologies, and an advanced experience that meets the aspirations of customers in global markets. 

The company said in a statement that "the automotive sector in Iraq is witnessing an accelerated phase of transformation, with the official announcement of the entry of the Omoda and Jaico brands into the local market," indicating that "this expansion is not limited to introducing new models only, but comes within a strategy supported by Jameel Motors, the independent international distributor of cars, which has decades of experience in managing distribution operations, supply chains and after-sales services in a number of global markets." 

She explained that “Omoda and Gaiko were able, in a short period of time, to attract the attention of followers of the automotive sector, thanks to their rapid pace of expansion in global markets. Over the past three years, the two brands have recorded a number of outstanding indicators, including the delivery of more than 1.1 million vehicles worldwide, a presence in 70 international markets, and entering a new market at a rate of one market every 16 days, as well as opening 1,364 showrooms and sales centers at a rate of one new facility per day, in addition to expanding into 20 European markets, making them one of the fastest growing brand groups in the European continent.” 

She pointed out that "the global growth of the two brands depends on an integrated system of research, development and manufacturing based on the industrial and engineering capabilities of the Chery Group," explaining that "the production of Omoda and Jaico vehicles is characterized by the use of modern manufacturing technologies and smart production systems, along with strict quality control procedures in various stages of manufacturing." 

She emphasized that "the vehicles undergo intensive testing aimed at ensuring high levels of durability and reliability, while the modern engineering structure, advanced safety systems and smart communication technologies contribute to providing an advanced user experience that meets the aspirations of customers in global markets."  link

Tishwash:  China appoints an ambassador extraordinary to Iraq, and he begins his duties in Baghdad.

The new ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Iraq, Xiang Bo, arrived in the capital Baghdad on Saturday to take up his post and officially begin his duties as Beijing’s 22nd ambassador to the country.

Upon his arrival, the new Chinese ambassador was received by representatives of the Protocol Department of the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, along with members of the diplomatic mission from the Chinese embassy.

Xiang Bo emphasized in press statements that China and Iraq are two countries with ancient civilizations, linked by a long history of friendly communication, and that joint cooperation between the two countries has yielded fruitful results in various fields.

The new ambassador considered his assignment to his duties as placing upon him the responsibility to join forces with those concerned in various fields in order to implement the important agreements between the leaderships of the two countries, stressing the importance of raising the strategic Chinese-Iraqi partnership relations and practical cooperation to new levels. lin

Tishwash:  Recent arrests freeze negotiations to complete Ali al-Zaidi's government 

The Lebanese newspaper An-Nahar reported on Saturday that the recent wave of arrests targeting a number of parliamentarians and political figures in Iraq has hampered negotiations to complete the formation of the government and brought the issue of vacant ministries to a standstill.

The newspaper quoted political and parliamentary sources as saying that "political forces were preparing to resolve the issue of the nine vacant ministries, namely: Defense, Interior, Planning, Higher Education, Immigration, Reconstruction, Youth, Labor, and Culture, with the start of the new legislative session at the beginning of July."

The sources added that "the arrest campaign led to an almost complete halt in communications between the leaders of the political blocs, which postponed the understandings related to completing the ministerial cabinet of Prime Minister Ali al-Zidi."

According to the newspaper, "the arrests, which included influential political figures, created a new crisis of confidence among political forces, and rearranged their priorities from completing government entitlements to dealing with the legal and political repercussions resulting from those measures."  link

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

Tishwash:  Exclusive: No ministerial appointments accepted, and the formation of al-Zidi's cabinet postponed until after Washington.

The Shiite Coordination Framework, on Saturday, linked the completion of the ministerial formation of Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi’s government to the results of his upcoming visit to the United States, stressing that the vacant ministries will not be decided before his return from Washington.

MP Amer Al-Fayez, a leader in the coordination framework, told Shafaq News Agency that the House of Representatives will resume its work with the start of the new legislative session, with its first regular session to be held next Monday, but the vote on the new ministers will be postponed to a later stage.

Al-Fayez explained that Al-Zidi will submit the names of candidates for the vacant ministerial portfolios after completing his political consultations, noting that the vote on the government cabinet "will not take place before the Prime Minister's visit to the United States, but rather after his return, due to the continued disagreements and obstacles related to the names of some of the candidates."

He added that a number of political blocs "are still working on completing their internal requirements and finalizing their candidates for ministries," which has delayed the completion of the government at the present time.

The leader in the coordination framework confirmed that nine ministries remain vacant in Al-Zidi’s government, denying any discussion within the framework or the House of Representatives regarding the creation of new ministries or the cancellation of others.

These developments coincide with al-Zaidi's anticipated visit to Washington in mid-July, at the invitation of US President Donald Trump, which is seen as a pivotal moment in shaping the relationship between Baghdad and Washington.

According to information obtained earlier by Shafaq News Agency, Al-Zaidi will discuss economic and investment files during the visit, most notably the release of frozen Iraqi financial guarantees in the United States estimated at about $30 billion, in addition to security and political files related to the future of cooperation between the two countries.  link

Rob Cunningham: My Global Wealth Forecast

Rob Cunningham: My Global Wealth Forecast

7-4-2026

I see strong asymmetric upside for XRPL/Ripple/XRP, regardless of short term price changes in XRP because a massive increase in utility, global liquidity depth, institutional defensibility and network relevance is everything.

1) RLUSD Stablecoin is 100% subject to GENIUS Act Law, U.S. Treasury Oversight, New York Department of Financial Services Compliance with Monthly Audits, and BNY Mellon Custody of RLUSD Collateral Requirements.

2) RLUSD operates today, and will continue to serve as, the exact equivalent of a U.S. Treasury Dollar in stablecoin form. With America’s full commitment to keeping the U.S. Dollar as the strongest currency in the world, along with America’s commitment to being the “Crypto Capital of the World”, our future is bright.

2) XRP has No Counter Party Risk. It is non-sovereign in nature, it operates with 100% Clarity, Visibility and Verification whereby all relevant participants, entities and nations have complete free-will consent to accept XRP’s functionality in atomically ledgering value exchanges truthfully.

3) The XRP Ledger is publicly accessible, open-source financial infrastructure: its’ rules are mathematical, transparent and its’ software can be inspected by anyone. XRPL changes require broad global agreement across independent participants with 80% or greater approval rather than the unilateral authority of any single nation, government, NGO, monarchy, private company, or organization.

4) Ripple’s edge is that it has spent since 2012 building for exactly where the global bottleneck exists today: compliant, fast, low-cost, cross-border value exchange with “trustlessness inside.” In essence, Ripple has served as “a founding father” of a global “honest weights and measures” system capable of yielding global peace and prosperity through the decentralization of truth.

RLUSD stablecoins reduce pre-funded capital needs (nostro/vostro is eliminated) and enables faster cross-border settlement, while the XRPL’s DEX with Native AMMs provide native liquidity pools for asset swaps at scale, the world over.

My high-probability worldview for the next 12 months:

1) XRP:RLUSD volume rises massively in settlement activity.

2) Institutional RWA grows into massive production and scale.

3) Institutional Board Defensibility
leads to XRP:RLUSD:XRPL being embraced as virtually risk-free, neutral monetary architecture offering global liquidity, sovereign compliance and extreme efficiencies.

4) The XRP token price will reflect its’ true utility value as the fog of legacy moneychanger’s “rules based order” melts under the the Light of Clarity.

In my view, XRPL will become the top institutional RWA/payment rail. All RWAs don’t automatically require XRP, yet they do require liquidity, settlement, compliance, custody, auditability, and interoperability, so this is where XRP’s optionality expands.

If tokenized assets multiply 500x, the winning rails will not merely be “blockchains.” They will be Regulated Liquidity Networks able to move value across jurisdictions, currencies, stablecoins, collateral pools, and payment corridors.

This reality favors the ecosystem singularly built for this exact job.
The highest-probability impact is not “XRP instantly reprices.”

It is this:

XRP becomes increasingly difficult for institutions to ignore as a neutral bridge asset inside a compliant global liquidity fabric.
If RLUSD becomes trusted cash, RWAs become collateral, XRPL AMMs become liquidity venues, and Ripple’s payment/custody/compliance stack becomes institutional middleware, then XRP sits closer to the center of this flywheel:

asset → collateral → liquidity → payment → settlement → re-use.

My @Freedom250 Forecast:
XRP massively revalues from a little understood, speculative token to liquidity infrastructure. All the world over are welcome to embrace or reject.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Iran and Qatar Resume Maritime Trade as Strait of Hormuz Shipping Returns Toward Normal

Iran and Qatar have officially resumed maritime trade after a five-month suspension, marking another sign of improving regional stability following months of conflict. The reopening supports broader efforts to restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz while ongoing U.S.-Iran technical negotiations continue in Doha.

Overview

• Iran and Qatar have resumed maritime trade after a five-month interruption caused by regional conflict.

• Shipping activity through the Strait of Hormuz is steadily returning as diplomatic efforts continue.

• The development could improve regional energy exports, trade flows, and supply chain stability across the Gulf.

Key Developments

1. Maritime Trade Officially Resumes

Iran and Qatar have restarted maritime trade following a five-month hiatus that resulted from the 2026 regional conflict. The reopening restores an important commercial route linking Gulf economies and represents another step toward rebuilding normal economic activity.

2. Strait of Hormuz Traffic Continues Recovering

Commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has continued to improve as security conditions stabilize. The return of more regular vessel traffic is helping restore confidence in one of the world's most strategically important energy corridors.

3. Diplomacy Supports Economic Recovery

The resumption of trade comes alongside ongoing indirect technical negotiations between the United States and Iran in Doha, where officials continue working toward a longer-term agreement covering maritime security and navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

4. Energy and Supply Chains Benefit

As shipping operations normalize, regional energy exports and commercial supply chains are expected to become more reliable. Improved maritime logistics could help reduce transportation costs while supporting international trade across the Gulf region.

Why It Matters

The reopening of maritime trade demonstrates how diplomatic progress can quickly translate into economic recovery. Restoring commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz strengthens confidence in global energy markets while helping reduce uncertainty for international businesses and investors.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Energy exports, global trade flows, and shipping stability influence inflation, commodity prices, and currency markets worldwide. Continued improvements in Gulf trade routes support broader financial stability, which remains important for investors monitoring international monetary developments.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 2 – Trade

The resumption of maritime commerce strengthens one of the world's most important international trade corridors, improving supply chains and supporting the gradual normalization of global commerce.

• Pillar 5 – Energy

A more stable Strait of Hormuz improves the reliability of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments, supporting energy security while reducing risks to international markets.

Future Outlook

The restoration of maritime trade between Iran and Qatar represents another positive milestone in the broader regional recovery, but lasting stability will depend on continued diplomatic progress. Negotiations surrounding the long-term management of the Strait of Hormuz remain central to ensuring uninterrupted commercial navigation and energy exports. If current talks continue advancing, Gulf trade and shipping activity could steadily return to pre-conflict levels, supporting global economic confidence.

This is not just about two countries resuming trade—it reflects broader efforts to restore one of the world's most critical energy and shipping corridors, strengthening global commerce, supply chains, and economic stability.
