Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
NATO Summit Opens in Ankara, Focusing on Defense Commitments and Alliance Unity
Leaders from NATO's 32 member nations are meeting in Ankara to strengthen alliance unity, expand defense investment, and address evolving global security challenges amid rising geopolitical uncertainty.
Overview
NATO leaders convened in Ankara on July 7-8 to coordinate defense priorities and reinforce alliance cohesion.
Defense spending, military production, and continued support for Ukraine are among the summit's top agenda items.
The summit's outcomes could influence global security, government spending, defense industries, and long-term economic stability.
Key Developments
1. NATO Reviews Alliance Strategy
Leaders from all 32 NATO member countries gathered in Ankara under the leadership of Secretary General Mark Rutte to assess progress since the 2025 Hague Summit and establish new strategic priorities for the alliance.
The summit comes at a time of heightened geopolitical uncertainty, making alliance coordination a central focus.
2. Defense Spending Remains a Top Priority
One of the summit's primary objectives is ensuring members continue increasing defense spending commitments.
Several nations are expected to outline new military investment plans as NATO seeks to modernize capabilities while responding to ongoing security threats.
3. Defense Production and Innovation Expand
A parallel NATO Defence Industry Forum is bringing together government officials, military leaders, and private defense companies to accelerate weapons production, technology development, and supply-chain resilience.
The initiative reflects NATO's growing emphasis on strengthening industrial capacity alongside military readiness.
4. Ukraine Support Continues
Alliance leaders are expected to reaffirm continued political, financial, and military support for Ukraine while discussing longer-term regional security planning.
The summit also addresses broader deterrence measures aimed at preserving stability across Europe.
5. Global Markets Watching Geopolitical Signals
Financial markets are monitoring the summit closely because increased defense spending can influence government budgets, industrial production, commodity demand, and long-term fiscal policy.
Investors will also watch for any announcements that could affect energy security, international trade routes, and global geopolitical stability.
Why It Matters
NATO's decisions extend well beyond military affairs. Increased defense investment often reshapes government spending priorities, manufacturing activity, technological innovation, and international alliances—all of which influence the global economic environment.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Currency holders continue watching geopolitical developments because greater global stability generally supports stronger investment confidence, while prolonged international tensions can increase market volatility, influence central bank policies, and affect currency valuations worldwide.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1 – Trade
Expanded defense manufacturing increases demand across international supply chains, industrial production, advanced technology, and cross-border logistics.
Pillar 2 – Technology
Greater investment in defense innovation accelerates development in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, communications, and next-generation infrastructure that often spills into civilian financial systems.
Closing Perspective
This is not just about defense—it reflects how geopolitical security, government investment, industrial capacity, and technological modernization continue reshaping the global economic landscape.

Major Signal Before IQD Revaluation?
Major Signal Before IQD Revaluation?
The Dinar Den: 7-7-2026
For years, the economic narrative in Iraq has been dominated by “dollarization”—a trend where local citizens preferred holding US dollars over their own national currency.
This preference was rooted in a decade-long struggle with the Iraqi dinar’s (IQD) instability and relatively low value. However, a significant shift is currently unfolding on the ground.
Recent reports indicate that Iraqi citizens are now actively exchanging their US dollars back into Iraqi dinars, signaling a potential turning point for the nation’s financial landscape.
Major Signal Before IQD Revaluation?
The Dinar Den: 7-7-2026
For years, the economic narrative in Iraq has been dominated by “dollarization”—a trend where local citizens preferred holding US dollars over their own national currency.
This preference was rooted in a decade-long struggle with the Iraqi dinar’s (IQD) instability and relatively low value. However, a significant shift is currently unfolding on the ground.
Recent reports indicate that Iraqi citizens are now actively exchanging their US dollars back into Iraqi dinars, signaling a potential turning point for the nation’s financial landscape.
In a recent analysis, Stephen—a prominent voice in the currency investment community and host of The Dinar Den—dived into this phenomenon. Having tracked the Iraqi dinar since 2011, Stephen suggests that this reversal of behavior is more than just a market fluctuation; it may be a critical precursor to a long-awaited revaluation of the currency.
One of the most compelling pieces of evidence for this shift is the movement in the parallel market exchange rate. Historically, the gap between the official rate and the street rate has been a source of economic friction.
Recent data highlights that the dinar is regaining ground, moving from previous lows toward a more stable range of approximately 151,000 to 152,000 dinars per $100 USD.
This movement suggests improving demand and, more importantly, a restoration of trust. When the general public begins to divest from foreign cash in favor of their local currency, it reflects a grassroots belief that the dinar’s value is either stabilizing or positioned for future growth. For analysts like Stephen, this behavioral change is a fundamental requirement for any significant currency adjustment.
The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) is playing a pivotal role in this transition. The video highlights the CBI’s commitment to a new, modernized financial system. This isn’t just about printing money; it’s about a comprehensive overhaul of how Iraq handles value.
These reforms are designed to build domestic and international confidence. By creating a transparent and technologically advanced banking sector, the CBI is laying the groundwork necessary for the dinar to eventually strengthen on the official global stage.
The timing of these market shifts is no coincidence. Iraq’s economic trajectory is deeply intertwined with its international relationships. The video points to the significance of high-level diplomatic visits, including Iraqi leadership’s engagements in the United States. These meetings often involve coordination with heavyweights like the US Treasury and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Such international support is crucial for unlocking reserves and establishing the robust regulatory frameworks required for a stable currency. By aligning Iraqi banking standards with international requirements, the government is positioned to better manage its oil wealth and stabilize its domestic market.
While the current momentum is undeniably positive, Stephen emphasizes the importance of realistic expectations. A formal revaluation (RV) of the Iraqi dinar is a complex geopolitical and economic event. It is widely believed that such a move requires a fully stable and operational government, free from the friction that has historically slowed legislative progress.
As the Iraqi administration continues its diplomatic outreach and domestic reform, the pieces of the puzzle appear to be falling into place. However, as with any major economic shift, there is no definitive timeline. The transition from a dollar-dependent economy to a dinar-centric one is a process, not an overnight event.
The recent trend of Iraqis exchanging dollars for dinars marks a significant milestone in the country’s economic recovery. It represents a shift from fear to confidence and from instability to structural reform. ‘
For those following the Iraqi dinar, these developments suggest that the nation is moving into a more active phase of its financial evolution.

The Iraqi parliament convened its first session of the second legislative term on Monday, 6 July 2026, under the chairmanship of parliament speaker, Haibat al-Halbousi.
According to a statement issued by the parliament's Media Office, the session included the first reading of two bills: the Combating Cybercrimes Bill and the First Amendment to the Law on the Care of Minors.
In a separate statement, the Media Office announced that the parliament's next session will be held on Thursday, 9 July, at 1:00 p.m.
The agenda will include the swearing-in of several replacement members of parliament, the questioning of the head of the National Investment Commission, and general discussions. link
Tishwash: After a two-year hiatus, the Iraqi government begins preparing the 2027 budget draft.
On Monday, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister for Financial Affairs, revealed that the Ministry of Finance has begun preparing the draft federal general budget law for 2027, in the first new budget that Iraq has begun preparing after two years without approving a federal budget.
Saleh told Shafaq News Agency that the Ministry of Finance began preparing the draft federal general budget law for 2027 during the month of July, based on the Financial Management Law, and that it will finish its work next September.
He added that the draft bill will then be referred to the Ministerial Council for the Economy for discussion, before being submitted to the Cabinet for approval and sent to the House of Representatives.
He pointed out that it is not possible at the present time to determine the financial size of the federal general budget for 2027, explaining that the total value of the budget will be determined after the Ministry of Finance completes the preparation of the draft law.
The government’s commencement of preparing the 2027 budget comes after two years of not approving a federal budget, as no budget was approved for the years 2025 and 2026, despite the previous government, headed by former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, enacting the three-year budget law for the years (2023-2025).
The 2025 budget could not be implemented after its amendment schedules were not approved within the House of Representatives and the time period of the law expired, which prompted the Ministry of Finance to adopt a temporary disbursement mechanism at a rate of (1/12) to secure salaries and mandatory expenses.
The 2026 budget was also not approved, due to the delay in forming the government, the economic repercussions of the regional war, and the fluctuations in energy markets, so Iraq continued to manage its spending according to the temporary spending mechanism. link

Tishwash: Al-Zaidi faces a test from the "big players"... Washington awaits proof of seriousness in the corruption and weapons files.
Approximately $300 billion has been smuggled out of Iraq.
Before Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi arrived in Washington in mid-July, Baghdad found itself facing a sensitive political test: the funeral of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several members of his family in Iraq.
The event, which was supposed to be a religious ceremony, quickly transformed into a political issue where the interests of Baghdad, Tehran, and Washington intersected, becoming one of the first hurdles before the anticipated meeting between al-Zaidi and US President Donald Trump.
Although the visit to the White House comes amid signs of improving relations between Baghdad and Washington, serious questions remain about al-Zaidi's ability to implement the commitments outlined in the understandings reached between the two sides in what has become known as the "June Agreement."
Conversely, observers believe that the Prime Minister made significant progress toward the US administration in the past week, after launching a broad campaign to prosecute officials accused of corruption—a move seen as an attempt to demonstrate seriousness in fulfilling the pledges made to Washington.
Iranian pressure and Iraqi hesitation:
A well-informed political source revealed that approving the holding of Khamenei's funeral procession in Iraq on Wednesday was not an easy decision within the government. It was preceded by hesitant discussions before the scales tipped under Iranian pressure, supported by positions from forces within the coordination framework and armed factions.
The source, a member of parliament from one of the major Shiite parties, told Al-Mada on condition of anonymity that "Al-Zaidi realizes this issue could put him in an embarrassing position with Trump during his upcoming visit to Washington."
According to information circulating in political circles, the funeral program has undergone a significant change. Baghdad has been removed from the schedule of ceremonies, which were initially planned for the city of Kadhimiya. The visit will now be limited to Najaf and Karbala, with the possibility that Al-Zaidi will receive the body of the Supreme Leader at Najaf Airport.
Estimates suggest that a large funeral procession in the capital might have turned into anti-American demonstrations, punctuated by chants and slogans targeting the US president, similar to the scenes witnessed during funeral processions in Iran.
US President Donald Trump had expressed clear interest in the funeral processions that began earlier in the week in Iran.
In a press statement, commenting on the scenes showing thousands of participants weeping during the ceremonies, Trump said he was surprised by the scale of the public reaction, adding, "Maybe those were fake tears."
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi arrived in Baghdad for his first visit since the end of the last war in the region, coinciding with the launch of what has become known as "Operation Dawn," which targeted members of parliament and officials accused of corruption last week.
According to leaks following the visit, Araqchi discussed the details of the funeral processions with Iraqi officials, while initial reports indicated that Baghdad would be one of the main stops for the event.
However, the Iraqi committee responsible for organizing the pilgrimage quickly denied this information, before the outlines of the new program, limited to Najaf and Karbala, became clear.
Religious rituals, not political calculations.
In contrast, former diplomat Ghazi Faisal offers a different interpretation of the matter. He believes that Washington, including President Trump, understands that the funeral of the former Iranian Supreme Leader is not an official function of the Iraqi government, but rather falls within the realm of religious and sectarian rituals.
Faisal told Al-Mada, "Al-Zaidi is concerned with running the government, while Khamenei's funeral is part of religious tradition." He added that Baghdad's approval of holding the funeral ceremonies in Najaf and Karbala "is simply a response to religious traditions followed with religious figures, officials, or even ordinary citizens."
Faisal points out that Trump himself announced a week's grace period for Iran to complete the funeral ceremonies, out of respect for the occasion, without exerting pressure related to the negotiations between the two sides.
He believes that what transpired represents a "temporary truce" to allow for the conclusion of the ceremonies before the resumption of negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
The former diplomat concludes that the United States, as a multi-religious and multicultural country, generally views religious and sectarian diversity, and its associated rituals, with respect. This makes it unlikely that the funeral ceremonies, in themselves, will turn into a crisis in official relations between Baghdad and Washington, unless they are accompanied by political messages or stances that transcend their religious dimension.
How is al-Zaidi viewed in Washington now?
Regarding al-Zaidi's image in the United States, Kato Saadallah, a researcher specializing in American affairs, believes that Washington still grants al-Zaidi an important political opportunity, but at the same time links the continuation of this support to his ability to implement genuine reforms.
Saadallah tells Al-Mada that the Prime Minister's visit comes at the invitation of US President Donald Trump and coincides with the celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. He adds that Trump will be attending the NATO summit in Ankara beforehand and will meet with al-Zaidi upon his return to Washington.
He points out that Trump had previously declared his support for al-Zaidi and the current government, a stance that granted Baghdad significant political leeway. However, according to Saadallah, this support will not be open-ended or unconditional.
He adds that the US president, through his envoy Tom Barrack, informed the Iraqi government of a set of priorities that must be addressed if Baghdad wants to maintain American backing.
Saadallah identifies three main priorities . The first is ending the proliferation of weapons outside state control and disbanding militias and armed factions, thereby restoring the state's monopoly on the use of force.
The second priority is combating corruption, which, according to the researcher, is the issue Trump focuses on more than any other, based on the conviction that corruption is the gateway through which all other Iraqi crises stem.
The third priority is halting the smuggling of hard currency and closing the channels that drain Iraq's financial reserves and fuel financial networks linked to foreign entities. Is "Operation Dawn" enough? Saadallah believes that the recent campaign launched by al-Zaidi against a number of those accused of corruption represents an important step, but it still requires further evidence.

Presidential advisor: Funds recovered from corrupt individuals will contribute to reducing the deficit gap and financing projects.
The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed on Tuesday that the funds recovered from corrupt individuals represent exceptional revenues that cannot be relied upon in preparing public budgets, while noting that these funds will contribute to reducing the deficit gap and financing projects.
Saleh said in statements followed by Al-Mirbad that “the funds recovered from the corrupt are important and non-recurring exceptional revenues, as they cannot necessarily and permanently be relied upon in preparing public budgets, but they constitute an important source of revenue in financial planning.”
He continued: “These funds are often directed towards bridging the deficit gap or financing specific projects that directly affect the lives of individuals, or strengthening the country’s financial reserves, and not towards building the annual budget within a long-term fiscal policy, because that is linked to the ceilings and capabilities of fiscal policy within the framework of preparing and implementing public budgets.”
He stressed that "recovering corruption funds is important because it reduces financial waste, supports the public treasury, and enhances the confidence of citizens, investors, and the international financial community in the country's economic system," noting that "the funds recovered from corrupt individuals represent an important support tool for the national economy, but they are not necessarily a complete substitute for the general budget, as this depends on the size and ceilings of public spending." link

Tishwash: Amid anti-corruption campaigns and efforts to recover stolen funds, for the first time in months, currency traders in Iraq are seeing the dollar fall to 152,000 Iraqi dinars
Currency markets in Iraq opened this morning (Tuesday) with a further decline in the exchange rate of the US dollar against a relative recovery of the Iraqi dinar.
Exchange bureaus in both the Kifah and Harithiya exchanges in Baghdad recorded a rate of 152,700 Iraqi dinars per 100 US dollars.
In Erbil, the dollar was offered at the Sheikh Allah market at the opening price of 152,650 dinars, and it was sold at the same price in Sulaimaniyah.
This relative decline is the first of its kind in months, as the dollar had approached 160,000 dinars in recent weeks, putting pressure on markets and traders.
Experts attribute this relative recovery to the strong anti-corruption campaigns led by Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zubaidi, which have resulted in the arrest of dozens of corrupt officials and the recovery of billions of dinars from them. link

Currency Signaling as Operational Overlay – The $100 Transition Layer
The new $100 notes circulating with Trump’s signature stacked above Scott Bessent’s represent a deliberate architectural marker.
Production ramped in June 2026, timed for the 250th rollout, with the imagery embedding layered messaging: gold-infused Declaration of Independence elements on the right side contrasting the persistent Federal Reserve framing on the left.
This isn’t cosmetic. It visually encodes the parallel system activation while maintaining continuity in circulation mechanics.
Mechanics of the Repurposing
The signature shift replaces the longstanding Treasurer slot with direct executive imprint. This breaks 165 years of precedent quietly embedded in Bureau of Engraving and Printing protocols.
Bessent’s public framing on fiscal strength and dollar dominance masks deeper ledger work: Treasury operational control expanding over issuance flows previously siloed through Fed intermediaries.
The left-side continuity preserves velocity and public confidence during transition; the right-side gold Declaration overlay signals the hard-asset anchor reclaiming primacy.
Insiders track this as the visible edge of tokenized reserve integration, where stablecoin rails (GENIUS Act structures) and physical metal calibration run parallel to legacy notes.
IRS Restructuring Interlocks
Bessent’s detailed policy shifts target the agency’s enforcement backbone. Audits on legacy grant pipelines, offshore NGO flows, and internal compliance nodes expose decades of weaponized revenue extraction that funded unaccountable networks. Restructuring phases emphasize voluntary compliance frameworks and digital modernization that prune adversarial data-handling compartments.
This dovetails with DOGE-era personnel reductions: bloat removal in tax enforcement layers severs funding arteries to contractor ecosystems and influence nodes without full systemic rupture. The baby stays because the operational chassis enables precision strikes on entrenched interests rather than chaotic default.

Stephen Iraq is aggressively signing multi-billion dollar energy, infrastructure and trade deals with global conglomerates and Western powers.International corporations do not invest billions into a country unless they expect a stable, highly valuable local currency to facilitate trade...Just as Kuwait needed a high valued dinar to fund its reconstruction, Iraq requires a revalued or reinstated economically viable currency to fully integrate into the global financial system and move away from a cash reliant dollarized economy...

Federal Reserve Policy in Focus as Markets Watch for the Next Move
Investors are closely monitoring Federal Reserve signals as easing inflation and resilient markets shape expectations for future interest rate decisions.
Overview
Financial markets remain focused on the Federal Reserve as investors evaluate whether policymakers will keep interest rates unchanged in the coming months.
Recent economic data points to moderating inflation and steady economic growth, strengthening expectations that the Fed may maintain a patient approach.
Any shift in Federal Reserve policy could significantly influence borrowing costs, the U.S. dollar, global capital flows, and investment markets.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
Federal Reserve Policy in Focus as Markets Watch for the Next Move
Investors are closely monitoring Federal Reserve signals as easing inflation and resilient markets shape expectations for future interest rate decisions.
Overview
Financial markets remain focused on the Federal Reserve as investors evaluate whether policymakers will keep interest rates unchanged in the coming months.
Recent economic data points to moderating inflation and steady economic growth, strengthening expectations that the Fed may maintain a patient approach.
Any shift in Federal Reserve policy could significantly influence borrowing costs, the U.S. dollar, global capital flows, and investment markets.
Key Developments
1. Markets Expect a Patient Federal Reserve
Recent inflation data has continued to show signs of moderation while economic growth remains relatively resilient. As a result, investors increasingly believe the Federal Reserve may have room to leave interest rates unchanged until clearer evidence emerges that inflation is either accelerating again or moving sustainably toward its long-term target.
2. Interest Rate Expectations Are Driving Market Sentiment
Expectations surrounding future Fed decisions continue to influence Treasury yields, equity markets, and the U.S. dollar. Lower expectations for additional rate hikes have helped support stock prices while easing pressure on businesses and consumers facing higher borrowing costs.
3. Federal Reserve Communications Become the Market's Focus
With major inflation data largely behind them, investors are now paying close attention to speeches from Federal Reserve officials and upcoming policy communications. Any indication that policymakers are becoming more hawkish or dovish could quickly shift market expectations.
4. Global Markets Continue Watching U.S. Monetary Policy
Because the U.S. dollar remains the world's primary reserve currency, Federal Reserve decisions extend well beyond the United States. Central banks, international investors, and global financial institutions continue adjusting investment strategies based on expectations for U.S. interest rates and monetary policy.
Why It Matters
Federal Reserve policy influences nearly every major financial market. Interest rates affect consumer borrowing, business investment, government debt financing, currency values, and global capital flows. Even small changes in market expectations can produce significant movements across stocks, bonds, commodities, and foreign exchange markets.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Those following global currency developments continue watching Federal Reserve policy because U.S. interest rates influence the relative strength of the dollar against other currencies. A stable or less aggressive Fed could reduce upward pressure on the dollar while encouraging greater international capital movement into alternative assets and emerging markets.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1 – Debt
Federal Reserve interest rate decisions directly affect government borrowing costs, corporate financing, and consumer debt. A more patient monetary policy could ease financial pressures while supporting broader economic stability.
Pillar 3 – Assets
Expectations for lower interest rates often support equities, bonds, precious metals, and digital assets as investors adjust portfolios based on changing monetary conditions and future liquidity expectations.
Closing Thoughts
While no policy changes have been announced, financial markets are increasingly focused on what the Federal Reserve says next rather than what it has already done. Future communications will help determine whether current optimism surrounding inflation and economic growth can be sustained throughout the remainder of the year.
This is not just about interest rates—it reflects how central bank policy continues to influence global capital flows, asset valuations, and confidence in the international financial system.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Late Monday Evening 7-6-26
The Iraqi Parliament Confirms Its Readiness To Legislate The Oil And Gas Law.
Shafaqna Iraq - Parliamentary statements confirmed that there is a trend within the House of Representatives to legislate the oil and gas law, in addition to working on developing non-oil resources and reducing dependence on the public sector.
Member of Parliament, Youssef Al-Kalabi, announced the readiness of Parliament to legislate laws supporting the national economy, foremost among them the oil and gas law, calling for the activation of the suspended clauses to maximize state revenues outside the oil sector, while praising the recent Cabinet decisions and describing them as having put its finger on the “source of the problem.”
The Iraqi Parliament Confirms Its Readiness To Legislate The Oil And Gas Law.
Shafaqna Iraq - Parliamentary statements confirmed that there is a trend within the House of Representatives to legislate the oil and gas law, in addition to working on developing non-oil resources and reducing dependence on the public sector.
Member of Parliament, Youssef Al-Kalabi, announced the readiness of Parliament to legislate laws supporting the national economy, foremost among them the oil and gas law, calling for the activation of the suspended clauses to maximize state revenues outside the oil sector, while praising the recent Cabinet decisions and describing them as having put its finger on the “source of the problem.”
Al-Kalabi said in a speech during the first economic conference entitled “ Iraq After Oil”: “The recent decisions of the Council of Ministers have begun to put their finger on the root of the problem.”
He pointed out that “previous decisions regarding component cranes, spare parts orders, and granted exceptions contributed to removing the real and serious private sector from the circle of competition in favor of groups that depend on other personalities.”
He then added that “the House of Representatives sees a need for a genuine revolution in the oil sector and its alternatives,” revealing that “more than 16 articles were drafted by Parliament in the previous session to maximize state revenues outside the oil sector, in cooperation with members of the Finance Committee.” He expressed his regret that 12 of those proposals were not implemented or acted upon.
Te MP stressed that “the post-oil era requires two essential steps; the first is to expedite the enactment of the oil and gas law, given that the processes of extracting, marketing, exporting and developing oil are still subject to old laws that are outdated and no longer useful.”
He also explained that “the second step lies in developing non-oil imports and reducing the labor market’s dependence on the public sector as much as possible.”
Al-Kalabi added that “the House of Representatives is fully prepared to legislate these laws.”
He then pointed out that “the government program of the Prime Minister, which was voted on by Parliament, includes important clauses that give priority to enacting the oil and gas law, and opening the labor market to the serious and genuine private sector to be a key partner in economic development.” https://iraq.shafaqna.com/
Middle East: Al-Zaidi's Government Moves Towards Opening Files On Ministers, Governors, And Directors-General, While Tracking Their Money And Properties
Baghdad - One News - 7/06/2026 Middle East Monitor reported that the Iraqi government is preparing to launch the second phase of its anti-corruption campaign, in a move that expands the scope of prosecutions to include ministers, governors, directors-general, and current and former officials, while simultaneously tracking funds, real estate, and investments linked to those suspected of involvement inside and outside Iraq.
The website indicated that the new phase includes opening files in the Ministries of Health, Oil and Electricity, in addition to completing the procedures for the “Where did you get this?” bill to strengthen the prosecution of illicit enrichment; the step comes within the government’s efforts to expand accountability, recover public funds and prosecute those involved without exception.

Al-Kalabi: The Recent Cabinet Decisions Have Put Their Finger On The "Source Of The Problem" In The Private Sector
Baghdad - WAA - Hassan Al-Fawaz Member of Parliament, Youssef Al-Kalabi, affirmed the readiness of Parliament to legislate laws that support the national economy, foremost among them the oil and gas law, calling for the activation of the suspended clauses to maximize state revenues outside the oil sector, while praising the recent Cabinet decisions and describing them as having put its finger on the "source of the problem".
Al-Kalabi said in a speech during the first economic conference entitled “Iraq After Oil,” which was attended by a correspondent from the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “The recent decisions of the Council of Ministers have begun to address the root causes of the problem,” noting that “previous decisions related to the components of cranes, spare parts orders, and granted exceptions contributed to removing the real and serious private sector from the circle of competition in favor of groups that depend on other personalities.”

Dawn Crackdown To Include Iraqi Corrupt Ministers And Governors
2026-07-06 / 00:59 Shafaq News- Baghdad Iraq's Dawn Crackdown (Sawlat al-Fajr) anti-corruption campaign will extend to ministers, directors-general, current and former lawmakers, and provincial governors in its next phase, to be carried out in more than three batches, MP Abdullah al-Khaigani told Shafaq News on Monday.
Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, Supreme Judicial Council President Faiq Zaidan, and the security forces executing the operations have agreed to pursue corrupt figures without targeting any political group at the expense of another, al-Khaigani said. The operations will cover all Iraqi provinces.
Inside the investigation, a senior government source told Shafaq News that the detainees held under the Dawn Crackdown are being questioned daily under strict secrecy measures that bar visits from political parties, lawyers, and outside contacts.
Specialized teams from the Anti-Corruption Court and the Federal Integrity Commission oversee the process. The measures are intended to prevent leaks that could allow suspects to flee the country, conceal evidence, or influence proceedings.
Legal procedures for a second phase are already complete, covering corruption files in the health, oil, and electricity ministries, and tracing funds, properties, and investment projects linked to officials in the United States, Europe, and Turkiye. A new list of accused individuals is being prepared alongside a review of an illicit enrichment bill.
The Federal Integrity Commission confirmed that arrest warrants are being executed in accordance with the law and under judicial supervision. New files that may implicate additional figures continue to be opened, judicial sources said, as part of broader efforts to recover public funds and pursue suspects inside and outside Iraq.
The arrest campaign launched at dawn on June 28, targeting political officials, lawmakers, and businessmen. Al-Zaidi described it during a Council of Ministers session as the first phase of broader measures to recover public funds, tasking oversight bodies with receiving indications of corruption or negligence across state institutions. On Saturday, he called on Iraqis to report corruption and directed that financial rewards be paid to informants.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
Wall Street Near Record Highs as Lower Oil Prices and Cooling Inflation Lift Investor Confidence
U.S. stock markets remain near record highs as declining oil prices, easing inflation pressures, and expectations for a more patient Federal Reserve continue to support investor optimism. With corporate earnings season beginning, markets are looking for confirmation that economic growth remains resilient.
Overview
Major U.S. stock indexes continue trading near record highs as investor confidence strengthens.
Lower oil prices and moderating inflation are reducing pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates.
Corporate earnings, inflation data, and upcoming Federal Reserve communications will likely determine whether the rally can continue.
Key Developments
1. Wall Street Maintains Record Momentum
The Dow Jones Industrial Average continues to trade near record highs, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite remain well supported by strong investor confidence and improving economic sentiment. Market participation has also broadened beyond technology, with gains spreading across multiple sectors.
2. Falling Oil Prices Ease Inflation Concerns
Oil prices have retreated following OPEC+ production increases and the gradual normalization of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Lower energy costs are helping reduce inflation expectations while easing pressure on businesses and consumers.
3. Investors Expect a More Patient Federal Reserve
With inflation moderating and recent economic data showing signs of slower growth, investors increasingly believe the Federal Reserve may delay additional interest rate increases. Expectations for a more measured monetary policy have supported both equity markets and bond prices.
4. Earnings Season Becomes the Next Major Test
Attention is shifting toward second-quarter corporate earnings, where investors will look for evidence that companies continue delivering strong profits despite higher borrowing costs. Technology companies remain a major focus, but broader participation across healthcare, industrials, and financials is encouraging investors.
5. Economic Data Will Drive Market Direction
Upcoming inflation reports, Federal Reserve meeting minutes, and speeches from Fed officials are expected to shape expectations for the remainder of the year. Positive economic data could extend the current rally, while renewed inflation pressures could increase market volatility.
Why It Matters
Financial markets are responding to improving economic conditions as lower energy prices help reduce inflation while resilient corporate performance supports investor confidence. The combination of stable growth and moderating inflation creates a more favorable environment for businesses, consumers, and financial markets.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Federal Reserve policy continues to influence global currency values, interest rates, and international capital flows. Any shift toward a slower pace of monetary tightening can affect the U.S. dollar, precious metals, and investment opportunities across global markets.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1 – Debt
Moderating inflation may reduce pressure for higher interest rates, influencing government borrowing costs, debt servicing, and overall financial stability.
Pillar 5 – Energy
Lower oil prices and improving global energy supplies are helping stabilize inflation while supporting broader economic growth and market confidence.
Future Outlook
Investors will closely monitor upcoming corporate earnings, inflation reports, and Federal Reserve communications to determine whether the current market rally has additional room to advance. Continued moderation in inflation combined with resilient earnings could strengthen confidence that the economy is achieving a more balanced and sustainable expansion.
This is not just about rising stock prices—it reflects how stabilizing energy markets, moderating inflation, and expectations for more predictable monetary policy are strengthening confidence across the global financial system.

Miles Franklin Media: 7-6-2026
Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Todd “Bubba” Horwitz, Founder & Chief Market Strategist at BubbaTrading.com, who warns that he sees another major market collapse forming after 47 years of trading through historic booms and busts.
Horwitz says the warning signs are everywhere – from overvalued markets and AI-driven job losses to a housing market he says looks “almost an instant replay” of 2008. He argues the Fed has “destroyed true capitalism,” predicts the 10-year Treasury yield could hit 6%, and warns stocks could face a 40% to 60% decline.

Horwitz says the warning signs are everywhere – from overvalued markets and AI-driven job losses to a housing market he says looks “almost an instant replay” of 2008. He argues the Fed has “destroyed true capitalism,” predicts the 10-year Treasury yield could hit 6%, and warns stocks could face a 40% to 60% decline.
Horwitz also explains why he would be buying physical gold and silver now, why he believes paper gold resembles a “Ponzi scheme,” and why Bitcoin could still have upside despite near-term downside risk.
He and Michelle also discuss America’s 250th anniversary, the erosion of free enterprise, socialism, debt, inflation, and whether the country is “melting down from within.”
