Debt Growth Outpaces Economy: Powell Warns U.S. Fiscal Path “Will Not End Well”

Federal Reserve Chair signals rising concern as national debt accelerates beyond economic growth, creating long-term systemic risk.

OVERVIEW (KEY POINTS)

In remarks delivered this week, Jerome Powell issued a clear and unusually direct warning about the direction of U.S. fiscal policy. While he emphasized that the current debt level is not an immediate crisis, he stressed that the trajectory is unsustainable and increasingly dangerous.

The United States national debt has now reached approximately $39 trillion, continuing a rapid upward trend.

Powell’s central concern is not simply how large the debt is today—but that it is growing “substantially faster” than the overall economy, creating a widening imbalance that cannot be maintained long-term.

His warning was blunt:
👉 “The level of the debt is not unsustainable, but the path is not sustainable… it will not end well.”

This signals a critical shift in tone from the Federal Reserve—highlighting structural fiscal risk rather than short-term crisis.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

1. Debt Nears $39 Trillion and Rising Rapidly

The scale of U.S. borrowing continues to accelerate.

• National debt has climbed to roughly $39 trillion

• Debt levels have increased sharply in recent years due to deficits, stimulus, and war-related spending

2. Core Warning: Debt Growing Faster Than the Economy

Powell’s primary concern is the imbalance between debt and growth.

• Debt is expanding “substantially faster” than GDP

• This creates a structural divergence that compounds over time

👉 This is the key issue—not just how much debt exists, but how fast it is growing relative to income (GDP).

3. Interest Costs Becoming a Major Risk Factor

As debt rises, so does the cost to service it.

• Interest payments are projected to exceed $1 trillion annually

• This becomes one of the fastest-growing parts of the federal budget

4. Powell Calls for Policy Action “Fairly Soon”

The warning includes urgency—but not panic.

• Powell emphasized the need for policy adjustments before crisis conditions emerge

• Focus is on stabilizing the path, not immediate debt reduction

5. Not a Crisis—Yet, But a Structural Imbalance

Powell made a clear distinction:

• Current debt level = manageable (for now)

• Future trajectory = unsustainable without change

WHY IT MATTERS

This is one of the most important financial signals coming from a central bank leader right now.

When debt grows faster than the economy:

• The system must borrow increasingly just to sustain itself

• Interest costs compound faster than income

• Fiscal flexibility shrinks over time

Eventually, this forces difficult choices:

• Higher taxes

• Reduced spending

• Monetization (money creation)

• Or financial system restructuring

This is why Powell’s warning is significant—it highlights a mathematical imbalance, not a political opinion.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

• Currency stability: Rising debt pressures confidence in long-term dollar strength

• Inflation risk: Debt expansion increases likelihood of monetary expansion

• Interest rates: Higher debt → higher yields needed to attract buyers

• Global flows: Investors may begin diversifying away from debt-heavy systems

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

• Pillar 1: Debt Sustainability Crisis Building Beneath the Surface

The issue is no longer the size of debt—but its growth dynamics.
This signals a slow-moving shift toward debt restructuring, monetization, or systemic change.

• Pillar 2: Transition from Growth-Driven to Debt-Driven System

When debt outpaces economic growth, the system becomes increasingly:

• Dependent on borrowing

• Sensitive to interest rates

• Vulnerable to shocks

This is a hallmark of late-stage financial cycles and often precedes major monetary transitions.

CONCLUSION

Powell’s message was not alarmist—but it was deeply consequential.

The United States is not facing an immediate debt crisis—but it is moving along a path that becomes harder to correct over time.

The real risk is not today’s $39 trillion debt level—it is the trajectory where debt continues to outgrow the economy year after year.

That imbalance quietly builds until it forces policy change, market repricing, or systemic reset.

This is not a sudden collapse scenario—it is a slow structural shift that eventually demands a new financial framework.

Iraq Economic News And Points To Ponder Tuesday Evening 3-31-26

Expert: The Government Does Not Have The Authority To Contract For The Purchase Of Air Defense Systems.

2026/03/31  {Security: Al-Furat News} Security expert Adnan Al-Kinani confirmed that the government lacks the legal authority to conclude contracts for the purchase of air defense systems under the current circumstances.

Al-Kinani said, during his appearance on the “Free Talk” program on Al-Furat satellite channel, that: “The current situation in light of the war reveals a crisis in funding and liquidity, as well as the absence of the necessary legitimacy to make a decision to contract for the purchase of air defense systems and radars,” indicating that “it was supposed to be directed towards purchasing missiles to repel air attacks.”

He added that "Iraq needs to set a clear time limit for contracting, training and installation processes, in addition to developing an integrated financing mechanism that is consistent with the legal frameworks, as well as identifying the entry points for these systems and the contracting parties and countries."

Al-Kinani pointed out that “Iraq used to rely on the Eastern bloc in the areas of armament and preparation, as Russia was one of the most committed countries in contracts and supply, and it contributed to strengthening military capabilities with various types of weapons.”

Al-Kinani pointed to "the possibility of returning to reliance on the Eastern bloc, in addition to benefiting from China in the field of limiting drones and developing capabilities to counter them."

The Cabinet, in its meeting held today, Tuesday, reviewed the implementation of armament, efficiency improvement and equipping of our armed forces with modern equipment, which had been previously approved and implemented within the government program, taking into account the priorities in the latest developments and the requirements of the various formations of our armed forces.

In the same context, the Cabinet approved “contracting to purchase defense systems, as well as approving all the necessary requirements to complete the tasks of the air defense formations and improve performance, according to what was submitted by the Ministry of Defense in this regard.” LINK

Brent Crude Futures Surpass $118 Per Barrel

{Economic: Al-Furat News} Oil prices rose again on Tuesday, with Brent crude futures exceeding $118 a barrel, amid global markets monitoring economic tensions and oil supplies.

Reuters reported that "Brent crude futures surpassed $118 a barrel, after concerns intensified following an attack on an oil tanker in the Middle East."   LINK

Gasoline Prices In The United States Jump Again, Exceeding $4 Per Gallon.

2026/03/31    {Economic: Al-Furat News} Fuel prices in the United States recorded a new jump on Tuesday, reaching their highest levels in four years, driven by the repercussions of the ongoing military confrontation in Iran as well.

Gasoline prices at U.S. gas stations have risen above $4 a gallon for the first time since the summer of 2022, as a result of rising oil prices due to the war in Iran, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.

Economic reports indicate that the pace of price increases during the last month was faster and greater than the increases that followed the famous Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and even greater than the jumps that followed the imposition of sanctions on Russia during the Ukraine crisis in 2022.   LINK

Security Expert: Iran Will Be A Quagmire For US Forces In Any Ground Invasion Or Landing.

2026/03/31  {Security: Al-Furat News} Security expert Adnan Al-Kinani confirmed that any American ground intervention in Iran would face major challenges and could turn into a long war of attrition.

Al-Kinani said, during his appearance on the “Free Talk” program on Al-Furat satellite channel, that “US President Donald Trump is making reckless decisions and presenting a chaotic picture of the American interior,” noting that “there is a state of dissatisfaction within the United States that may be reflected in the upcoming elections.”

He added that "the current war represents a war of attrition for the American side and that prolonging it is in Iran's interest," predicting that "Washington will be forced to accept Tehran's conditions and withdraw from the region, which may lead to a decline in its role in international relations and the emergence of new alliances."

Al-Kinani continued, “The world has entered a new phase that may reshape economic balances with the possibility of a decline in the dominance of the dollar,” noting that the Iranian army possesses advanced combat capabilities and relies on a garrisoning style, which makes any land, sea, or air landing extremely costly.   LINK

Oil Falls 1%

2026/03/31     {Economic: Al-Furat News} Oil prices fell in Asian trading on Tuesday, reversing their previous gains.

Brent crude futures for May delivery fell $1.22, or 1.08%, to $111.56 a barrel at 02:10 GMT, after rising as much as 2% earlier in the session. The May contract expires today, Tuesday, while the more actively traded June contract was at $105.76.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures for May fell 98 cents, or 0.95%, to $101.90 a barrel, after hitting their highest level since March 9 at the start of trading, according to Reuters.   https://alforatnews.iq/news/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D9%81%D8%B7-%D9%8A%D9%86%D8%AE%D9%81%D8%B6-1

Gold Rises As The Dollar Weakens

  {Economic: Al-Furat News} Gold prices rose slightly on Monday as the dollar weakened, but gains were limited by a sharp rise in energy prices that exacerbated concerns about inflation and further diminished expectations that the Federal Reserve (the US central bank) would cut interest rates this year.

Spot gold rose 0.3% to $4,505.86 an ounce. U.S. gold futures for April delivery also climbed 0.3% to $4,535.80.

The US dollar weakened, making commodities priced in the US currency more accessible to holders of other currencies, according to Reuters.

Gold has fallen more than 14% so far this month, its biggest monthly drop since October 2008, pressured by the US dollar, which has risen by more than 2%. 

As for other precious metals, silver rose 0.8% to $68.67 an ounce in spot trading. Platinum gained 2.5% to $1,909.45, and palladium climbed 3.2% to $1,420.63.   LINK

No Buyers for US Treasuries as $10 Trillion due for Refinance in 12 Months

No Buyers for US Treasuries as $10 Trillion due for Refinance in 12 Months

Lena Petrova:  3-30-2026

The ongoing bond market meltdown has taken a significant turn, with the recent weakest US Treasury auction in over three years sending a stark warning signal about the state of the US economy.

As highlighted in the latest video by Lena Petrova, the second part of a series on the bond market crisis, growing investor unease is manifesting in declining demand for US government debt, rising yields, and a vicious cycle of higher borrowing costs and weakening trust.

The escalating war in Iran has emerged as a critical factor contributing to this unease, with investors increasingly concerned about the implications of geopolitical risks on the US economy and fiscal sustainability.

The surge in oil prices, driven by tensions in critical global energy corridors such as the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab Strait, is fueling inflation expectations and pushing interest rates upward. As a result, investors are becoming more cautious, preferring shorter-term bonds and demanding higher yields as compensation for increased risk.

This shift in investor behavior reflects broader concerns around massive government borrowing, unresolved geopolitical conflict, and inflation.

The US is facing a daunting financial challenge, with trillions in debt needing refinancing in the year ahead. The situation is further complicated by the fact that about 20% of federal tax revenue is already being used to service existing debt.

Rising debt issuance from both the government and corporations, combined with geopolitical uncertainty and potential military escalation, is driving volatility and instability in bond markets.

The bond market, often operating quietly in the background, is a crucial determinant of economic outcomes. Its current shifts signal broader economic and financial stress ahead.

As the video emphasizes, the future hinges on whether geopolitical tensions ease or worsen. Prolonged conflict is likely to exacerbate inflation, weaken demand for Treasuries, and increase financial strain.

The implications of this bond market meltdown are far-reaching and have significant consequences for the US economy.

Rising borrowing costs and decreasing demand for government debt can create a self-reinforcing cycle, where higher interest rates further weaken the economy, leading to even lower demand for Treasuries.

This, in turn, can have a ripple effect on the broader financial system, potentially triggering a wider economic downturn.

For investors, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of the global economy, it is essential to stay informed about the developments in the bond market. Watch the full video from Lena Petrova to gain further insights and information on this critical issue.

 As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the bond market meltdown is a warning sign that should not be ignored.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Oil Shock Triggers Second-Wave Inflation Risk: Energy Crisis Spreads into Food and Global Supply Chains

Record energy price surges are now feeding into broader inflation pressures, signaling a deeper and more persistent disruption to the global financial system.

OVERVIEW (KEY POINTS)

Global markets are facing a historic energy shock, with oil prices posting their largest monthly increase on record amid ongoing conflict and disruption in the Strait of Hormuz. This surge is not only impacting fuel costs but is now spilling into broader economic sectors, amplifying systemic risk.

The most critical development is the emergence of a second wave of inflation, as higher energy prices begin to drive fertilizer shortages, agricultural cost increases, and rising food prices. This creates a delayed but more persistent inflation cycle that central banks cannot easily control.

At the same time, financial conditions are tightening globally without direct policy action. Markets themselves are driving higher yields, reduced liquidity, and rising borrowing costs, effectively doing the work of central banks.

The broader implication is significant: this is no longer just an energy crisis—it is evolving into a multi-layered inflationary cycle, reinforcing structural changes aligned with a global financial reset.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

1. Record Oil Price Surge Reshapes Global Cost Structure

Oil prices have surged dramatically, marking a historic shift in energy markets.

• Brent crude reached $115–$118 per barrel, with the largest monthly gain on record

• Forecasts for 2026 oil prices have been revised sharply upward, reflecting sustained disruption

2. Second-Wave Inflation Emerging Through Food Systems

Energy shocks are now feeding into agriculture and supply chains.

• Fertilizer and input costs are rising, driving future food price increases

• Food inflation tends to lag energy but persist longer, creating extended pressure

3. Strait of Hormuz Disruption Alters Global Trade Flows

Shipping constraints continue to reshape global logistics.

• The Strait has been effectively restricted since late February, limiting energy flows

• Partial transit signals adaptation, not normalization, in global trade routes

4. Markets Tighten Without Central Bank Action

Financial conditions are tightening organically.

• Rising yields, mortgage rates, and costs reflect market-driven tightening

• Central banks are being forced into a wait-and-see posture

5. Stagflation Risks Intensify Across Economies

The combination of inflation and slowing growth is becoming more pronounced.

• Energy-driven inflation is colliding with weakening economic momentum

• Markets increasingly fear a stagflationary environment

WHY IT MATTERS

This development marks a shift from a single shock event to a cascading economic cycle. Energy price increases are no longer isolated—they are feeding into food, manufacturing, and transportation costs, expanding inflation across the entire economy.

Central banks are losing flexibility. With inflation rising again through secondary channels, policymakers face a longer and more complex battle, limiting their ability to stimulate growth or ease financial conditions.

At the system level, this signals a move toward a higher-cost global economy, where supply shocks have longer-lasting and more widespread effects.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

• Currency value: Energy-importing nations face currency weakness from rising costs

• Purchasing power: Food and energy inflation erode real value more persistently

• Capital flows: Investors may favor commodity-linked and inflation-resistant assets

• Exchange rates: Increased divergence driven by inflation exposure and policy response

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

• Pillar 1: Structural Inflation Regime Shift

The transition from energy-driven inflation to broad-based cost inflation signals a structural shift. Inflation is becoming embedded and multi-layered, reducing the effectiveness of traditional monetary tools.

• Pillar 2: Supply Chain and Resource Repricing

Global supply chains are being repriced around energy access, resource control, and geopolitical alignment. This is accelerating a move toward regionalization and strategic resource dominance.

CONCLUSION

The current oil shock is no longer just a market event—it is evolving into a system-wide transformation of cost structures and inflation dynamics. What begins as an energy disruption is now spreading into food systems, supply chains, and monetary policy constraints.

Markets may still be reacting in phases, but the underlying shift is clear: inflation is becoming more persistent, more complex, and more difficult to control.

This marks a critical turning point where energy, inflation, and policy are converging into a sustained structural shift in the global financial system.

The shock is no longer temporary—it is embedding itself into the foundation of the global economy.

“News Tidbits From TNT” Tuesday 3-31-2026

TNT:

Tishwash:Oil above $100... Hormuz disrupts supplies and there is no clear agreement with Iran

Global oil prices have surged above $100 a barrel, driven by escalating tensions in the Middle East and reduced oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most vital energy chokepoints.  Brent

crude has fluctuated between $103 and $110 a barrel in recent days, experiencing sharp volatility linked to developments on the ground and political statements regarding Iran. Recent data indicates that Brent reached $107 today (March 30, 2026), an increase of more than 2%.

The Strait of Hormuz: A Troubled Artery.

Shipping traffic through the strait has slowed considerably, with limited passage of oil tankers, particularly from Asian countries, amid cautious routes suggesting tacit coordination with Iran. 

Reports have also indicated a significant drop in activity, with direct threats to block the passage of ships associated with "enemies," as Iran has designated them. These "enemies" include countries linked to the United States and Israel, according to the Iranian classification, which also encompasses Gulf states. This has led markets to price in scenarios of a severe supply shortage. 

Is there an agreement with Iran?

Despite US President Donald Trump's announcement of "promising opportunities" for reaching an agreement, Tehran denied the existence of direct negotiations, confirming only contacts through intermediaries, thus maintaining a state of uncertainty in the market. 

This discrepancy between political statements and the reality on the ground has led markets to react cautiously, with prices rising with any escalation and temporarily declining with talk of a possible de-escalation. Regarding 

Basra oil and tankers 

, there are still no clear indications of a complete stabilization of oil tanker traffic in the Gulf, including Iraqi exports from Basra ports, as shipping remains directly linked to the level of tension in the Strait of Hormuz.

According to current data, tanker transit is limited and cautious, and no full or safe return to normal export operations has been announced, despite the Iraqi side's announcement of reaching an agreement with Iran regarding allowing Iraqi oil to transit through Hormuz.

According to reports up to March 30, 2026, at least one oil tanker carrying Iraqi crude had transited the Strait of Hormuz since the outbreak of regional tensions that led to its de facto closure. 

The supertanker "Omega Trader," operated by a Japanese company, successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz carrying two million barrels of Iraqi oil.

The tanker arrived in Mumbai, India, suggesting that the transit was arranged specifically to serve the Indian market.

In mid-March, the Iraqi oil minister announced ongoing communication with Iran to secure passage for some tankers to alleviate the oil glut. However, the transit remains very limited and does not represent a full resumption of exports.

Iran stipulates that tankers must not be affiliated with the United States or Israel to be permitted passage, and limited exceptions have been granted to countries such as India, Pakistan, and China.  link

Tishwash:  Three sources of payroll funding: A new strategy to counter global financial shocks

Amid a turbulent international scene, Baghdad is sending reassuring messages to millions of employees and those covered by the welfare network, stressing that the compass of living stability will not be affected by the tremors of energy markets or the winds of regional crises.

Relying on a combination of digital transformation of tax collection, capitalizing on the oil price boom, and a solid cash reserve, represents a financial "buffer zone" through which Iraq seeks to secure the livelihood of its citizens, away from the repercussions of the surrounding political and military conflicts.

Countering global financial shocks

In this regard, the Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed on Tuesday that the current policy guarantees the continuation of salaries and social welfare grants. While he identified three main sources to ensure the sustainability of salaries and social spending, he indicated that Iraq is capable of facing global financial and economic shocks efficiently and effectively.

Saleh said: “Ensuring the sustainability of monthly expenditures for salaries, wages, pensions, and social welfare allowances, in light of the current economic challenges and global fluctuations due to geopolitical risks , is a top priority, and depends on three main sources of revenue that guarantee the protection of the living and social stability of citizens on a regular monthly basis.”

Maximize revenues

He explained that “the first source is maximizing non-oil revenues, as ensuring the liquidity of collecting these revenues is achieved by intensifying approved electronic payment methods, which enhances the state’s own financial resources and reduces total dependence on oil revenues.”

Expanding the oil export base

Saleh added that “the second source is expanding the base of crude oil and petroleum product exports. This policy includes using traditional export channels whenever possible, including land and sea transport through neighboring countries, according to current global oil prices, which have seen an increase of nearly 70% compared to their levels before the outbreak of tensions in the Gulf and Middle East region.”

He pointed out that “this export expansion, in light of high crude oil prices, contributes to boosting the revenues needed to cover social spending and ensure the stability of the local market.”

quantitative easing policies

He explained that “the third source of revenue is to follow a pattern of targeted quantitative easing policies, with monetary and fiscal coordination, where coordination between monetary and fiscal policy is intensified, and this coordination is supported by efficient foreign exchange reserves, to ensure the stability of the national economy and the sustainability of public social spending, including the payment of salaries, pensions and social welfare allowances without any interruption.”

Saleh concluded by saying, “The continuation of these integrated policies guarantees the protection of monthly job income, enhances economic and social stability in the country, and enables Iraq to face global financial and economic shocks efficiently and effectively.”  link

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

Tishwash:  Government advisor: 13% of the economy is used to subsidize goods and stabilize fuel prices.

The economic advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, confirmed that government support for goods and services in Iraq amounts to about 13% of the gross domestic product, noting that the stability of fuel prices despite the rise in global oil prices has contributed to the stability of living costs.

Saleh told Al-Furat News Agency that: “The situation in the country is very different, as government support for goods and services consumes the equivalent of 13% of the gross domestic product,” noting that “the stability of fuel prices in Iraq, despite the rise in global oil prices due to the geopolitical conditions in the world and the Middle East in particular, represents the highest case of price support and is reflected in the stability of living costs.”

He explained that "the stability of fuel prices is reflected in the costs of services, especially transportation, electricity generation and domestic use of fuel, in addition to the consumption of fuel and energy for industrial and agricultural purposes and various professional activities."

Saleh added that "supporting the food and medicine basket and the necessities of life will undoubtedly reduce what is called imported inflation of goods entering the country resulting from the effects of rising global energy prices, in which the price of a barrel of oil has exceeded $107."

 He explained that "the common rule among economic circles indicates that a 10% increase in oil prices leads to an increase in global inflation of about 0.2% to 0.4%, and this increase is usually included in the imported inflation equation for products."

Saleh noted that "the economic authorities in the country renew their commitment to continue supporting the living stability of citizens, enhancing economic and social security, and taking measures to confront any external challenges in a way that ensures the sustainability of growth and protects economic gains."  link

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

Tishwash: Netanyahu: There are military solutions to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, led by Washington.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed on Monday evening that there are US-led military solutions to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but declined to elaborate.

Netanyahu told the American website Newsmax, "The Strait of Hormuz can be bypassed, and there is an interest in achieving this and allowing the free flow of oil and gas. There are military solutions to reopen the strait led by the United States, but I will not address them."

He noted that "there are post-war ideas to divert energy and oil pipelines from the Gulf to Mediterranean ports."

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bisent revealed on Monday that "individual" agreements had been made with Iran for ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. This coincided with preparations by European Union energy ministers to hold an emergency meeting on Tuesday to discuss ways to coordinate a response to the disruptions in global energy markets caused by the war with Iran.

Earlier today, US President Donald Trump said that Iran had agreed to allow 20 oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday morning for several days "as a gesture of respect," adding that Tehran "agrees with most" points of America's ceasefire plan.

In an interview with Israel's Channel 14, Trump said: "The Iranians desperately want to reach an agreement and are begging to do so," stressing that the United States is "already working to control the Strait of Hormuz."

In response to a question about the level of coordination with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he explained that relations are "at their peak," adding: "The coordination is very close, and our relationship is good. It couldn't be better."   link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

War Costs Pressure U.S. Debt: Rising Yields Signal Growing Strain on Treasury Markets

Escalating conflict-driven spending and inflation pressures are pushing U.S. borrowing costs higher, raising concerns about long-term fiscal sustainability.

OVERVIEW (KEY POINTS)

The U.S. Treasury market is facing mounting pressure as inflation and war-related costs push yields higher, signaling growing stress within the financial system. The conflict with Iran has already driven energy prices upward, feeding into inflation and complicating monetary policy decisions.

At the same time, a new layer of concern is emerging: the fiscal burden of a prolonged conflict, including increased military spending, potential tariff refunds, and stimulus measures if economic growth weakens. These pressures are building on an already fragile fiscal position marked by record debt levels.

Bond markets are beginning to reflect this strain. The S&P U.S. Aggregate Bond Index has declined, while Treasury yields across maturities are rising, indicating reduced investor appetite and higher borrowing costs.

The broader implication is a tightening financial environment where fiscal expansion and monetary constraints collide, creating structural pressure on the U.S. debt market and the global financial system.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

1. Rising Yields Reflect Inflation and War Pressures

Treasury yields are climbing as inflation persists and conflict-driven costs increase.

• 10-year yields approached 4.5%, signaling higher long-term borrowing costs

• Markets are adjusting to prolonged inflation and delayed rate cuts

2. Fiscal Deficit Risks Expanding Sharply

War-related spending could significantly increase the U.S. deficit.

• Deficit projected near 6% of GDP, potentially rising toward 8% with war costs

• Additional burdens include military funding, tariff refunds, and stimulus measures

3. Record Debt Amplifies Systemic Risk

The U.S. fiscal position was already under strain before the conflict.

• National debt has reached approximately $39 trillion

• Annual interest payments nearing $1 trillion, limiting fiscal flexibility

4. Weak Demand Signals Bond Market Stress

Recent Treasury auctions show soft demand, reflecting investor caution.

• Short-term yields rising due to reduced expectations of Fed rate cuts

• Long-term yields also increasing, indicating broad-based pressure

5. Policy Uncertainty Complicates Market Outlook

Monetary and fiscal policy paths remain unclear.

• Federal Reserve may face limits on rate cuts amid rising spending

• Treasury may adjust issuance strategy if long-term yields continue climbing

WHY IT MATTERS

The combination of rising yields, expanding deficits, and persistent inflation creates a challenging environment for the U.S. economy. Higher borrowing costs can slow investment, tighten financial conditions, and increase debt servicing burdens.

Markets are entering a phase where fiscal policy is no longer neutral, but a major driver of financial conditions. This increases the risk of volatility across bonds, equities, and global capital flows.

At the system level, the U.S. debt market—long considered the foundation of global finance—is facing growing structural pressure, which could have ripple effects worldwide.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

• Currency value: Rising yields may support the U.S. dollar short term, but long-term debt risks could weaken confidence

• Purchasing power: Persistent inflation erodes real value across currencies

• Capital flows: Investors may shift toward higher-yield or safer assets, impacting global liquidity

• Exchange rates: Increased volatility tied to policy uncertainty and debt sustainability concerns

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

• Pillar 1: Debt Sustainability Under Pressure

The expanding U.S. deficit and rising interest costs highlight a structural challenge to sovereign debt sustainability. As borrowing becomes more expensive, governments face harder trade-offs between spending and stability, reshaping fiscal policy globally.

• Pillar 2: Shift in Global Capital Allocation

Rising yields and fiscal uncertainty are driving a reallocation of global capital, as investors reassess risk and return. This shift could accelerate diversification away from traditional safe-haven assets and alter the balance of financial power.

CONCLUSION

The U.S. Treasury market is entering a period of heightened pressure as fiscal expansion collides with tighter financial conditions. Rising yields are not just a market reaction—they are a signal of deeper structural strain within the system.

While markets have not fully repriced these risks, the trajectory of debt, deficits, and geopolitical costs suggests that pressures are building beneath the surface.

This moment reflects a broader shift where fiscal policy, not just monetary policy, is driving market outcomes, with implications that extend far beyond U.S. borders.

The cost of conflict is no longer contained—it is being absorbed directly into the foundation of the global financial system.

🌱 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.

Saleh: 3 Main Sources Ensure The Sustainability Of Salaries And Social Spending And Iraq's Ability To Cope With Crises

Money and Business   Economy News – Baghdad   The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed on Tuesday that the current policy guarantees the continuation of salaries and social welfare grants. While identifying three main sources to ensure the sustainability of salaries and social spending, he indicated that Iraq is capable of facing global financial and economic shocks efficiently and effectively.

Saleh said that "the sustainability of monthly expenditures for salaries, wages, pensions and social welfare allowances, in light of the current economic challenges and global fluctuations due to geopolitical risks, is a top priority, and depends on three main sources of revenue that ensure the protection of the living and social stability of citizens on a regular monthly basis."

He explained that "the first source is maximizing non-oil revenues, as ensuring the liquidity of collecting these revenues is achieved by intensifying approved electronic payment methods, which enhances the state's own financial resources and reduces total dependence on oil revenues."

Saleh added that “the second source is expanding the base of crude oil and petroleum product exports. This policy includes using traditional export channels whenever possible, including land and sea transport through neighboring countries, according to current global oil prices, which have seen an increase of nearly 70% compared to their levels before the outbreak of tensions in the Gulf and Middle East region.”

He pointed out that “this export expansion contributes, in light of high crude oil prices, to boosting the revenues needed to cover social spending and ensure the stability of the local market.”

He explained that "the third source of revenue is to follow a pattern of targeted quantitative easing policies, with monetary and fiscal coordination, where coordination between monetary and fiscal policy is intensified, and this coordination is supported by efficient foreign exchange reserves, to ensure the stability of the national economy and the sustainability of public social spending, including the payment of salaries, pensions and social welfare allowances without any interruption."

Saleh concluded by saying: “The continuation of these integrated policies guarantees the protection of monthly job income, enhances economic and social stability in the country, and makes Iraq capable of facing global financial and economic shocks efficiently and effectively.”  https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=67351

Eurozone Bonds Are Nearing Their Worst Monthly Performance In A Decade.

Money and Business   Economy News - Follow-up   Eurozone government bonds are on track to record one of their worst months in the past decade, driven by inflation fears stemming from rising oil and gas prices due to the war with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Italy’s 10-year borrowing costs rose to 4.14%, their highest level since mid-2024, while French 10-year bond yields touched 3.9%, the highest since 2009, and Spanish yields rose to 3.7% for the first time since late 2023.

Fund managers believe that rising long-term bond yields are exacerbated by the expected impact on public finances resulting from higher borrowing costs and measures aimed at protecting consumers from rising prices.

Investors are betting that the European Central Bank will raise interest rates three times this year to contain an expected wave of inflation.  https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=67314

Iraq Is Losing About $11 Million A Month Due To The Suspension Of Air Traffic.

Money and Business   Economy News – Baghdad   The Echo Iraq Observatory announced on Monday that Iraq is losing about $360,000 a day as a result of the suspension of flights through its airspace, which is equivalent to $10.8 million a month, amid the repercussions of the ongoing war in the region.

The observatory explained that before the outbreak of the war, Iraqi airspace witnessed the passage of about 800 aircraft daily, both local and foreign, which is higher than the previous rates that ranged between 700 and 750 aircraft daily.   He added that the fees for a single aircraft crossing Iraqi airspace amounted to about $450, which provided daily revenues estimated at $360,000.

The observatory noted that the suspension of air traffic came after the Ministry of Transport announced, on February 28, the closure of Iraqi airspace due to security developments in the region. https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=67310

60 Oil Tankers Crossed Through The Al-Walid Border Crossing And Headed To Revive The Haditha-Aqaba Pipeline.

Al-Kubaisi said, "There is a trend to resume the mechanism of exporting oil through the Syrian and Jordanian ports in quantities that may exceed 200,000 barrels per day, as was the practice before 2003 using tankers."

He added that "the next stage may witness parliamentary action to compel the government to implement the modern Aqaba pipeline project, given its strategic importance in diversifying oil export outlets."

Al-Kubaisi pointed out that "the project was previously approved but faced objections, but there is currently pressure to reactivate it and proceed with its completion, given the economic benefits it provides, as well as its positive impact on Anbar Governorate, especially with regard to the petrodollar file." https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=67362

2026-03-30   Shafaq News- Baghdad  Iraq is losing an estimated $360,000 per day due to the suspension of overflights across its airspace, totaling about $10.8 million per month, according to the Eco Iraq Observatory on Monday.

The observatory said Iraqi airspace had previously handled around 800 flights per day —both domestic and international— exceeding earlier averages of 700 to 750 flights daily, adding that each aircraft paid approximately $450 in overflight fees, generating daily revenues of about $360,000.

Air traffic has been halted since the Ministry of Transport closed Iraqi airspace on February 28 following the outbreak of the Israel-US war on Iran, amid escalating regional security risks, including missile and drone exchanges across Iraqi skies and attacks by Iran-aligned factions on US facilities in Baghdad and the Kurdistan Region.  https://www.shafaq.com/en/Economy/Airspace-closure-costs-Iraq-360K-daily

Oil Surges As Houthi Attacks Widen Middle East Conflict

2026-03-30 Shafaq News   Oil prices extended gains on Monday, with Brent headed for a record monthly rise, after ‌Yemeni Houthis launched their first attacks on Israel over the weekend, widening the U.S.-Israel war with Iran in the Middle East.

Brent crude futures jumped $2.43, or 2.16%, to $115 a barrel by 0342 GMT after settling 4.2% higher on Friday.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate was at $101.50 a barrel, up $1.86, or ​1.87%, following a 5.5% gain in the previous session.

"The market has all but discounted the prospect of a ​negotiated end to the war, Trump’s claims of ongoing 'direct and indirect' talks with Iran notwithstanding, and ⁠is bracing for a sharp escalation in military hostilities, which is a bullish signal for crude, with huge uncertainties on ​the timing and nature of the outcome," said Vandana Hari, founder of oil market analysis provider Vanda Insights.

U.S. President Donald Trump said​the U.S. and Iran have been meeting "directly and indirectly" and that Iran's new leaders have been "very reasonable", as more U.S troops arrived in the region, while the Israeli military said on Monday it is attacking the Iranian government's infrastructure throughout Tehran.

Brent has soared 59% this month, the steepest monthly ​jump, exceeding gains seen during the 1990 Gulf War, after the Iran conflict effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a conduit ​for a fifth of the world's oil and gas supplies.

The war, launched on February 28 with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, has ‌spread ⁠across the Middle East, with Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis on Saturday launching their first attacks on Israel since the start of the conflict, raising concern about shipping lanes around the Arabian Peninsula and the Red Sea.

"The conflict is no longer concentrated in the Persian Gulf and around the Strait of Hormuz, but now extends into the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb — one of the ​world's most crucial chokepoints for ​crude and refined product flows," ⁠JP Morgan analysts led by Natasha Kaneva said in a note.

Saudi crude exports re-directed from the Strait of Hormuz to the Yanbu port in the Red Sea reached 4.658 million barrels ​per day last week, data from analytics firm Kpler showed.

If exports from Yanbu were disrupted, ​Saudi oil would ⁠need to pivot toward Egypt’s Suez-Mediterranean (SUMED) pipeline to the Mediterranean, JP Morgan analysts said.

Attacks in the region escalated over the weekend and damaged Oman's Salalah terminal despite efforts to start ceasefire talks.

Iran said it was ready to respond to a U.S. ground attack, accusing Washington ⁠on Sunday ​of preparing a land assault even as it sought negotiations.

Pakistan's Foreign Minister ​Ishaq Dar said they had covered possible ways to bring an early and permanent end to the war in the region as well as potential U.S.-Iran ​talks in Islamabad.

Oil Could Hit $200 As Trump Threats Rattle Markets

2026-03-30 Shafaq News- Washington/ Tehran   Oil prices could surge to $200 per barrel if the conflict escalates, analysts warn, as US threats against Iranian energy infrastructure and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz tighten global supply.

Tamas Varga of PVM Energy said a ground offensive against Iran, expanded strikes on Gulf energy assets, or a full closure of Hormuz would sharply constrain flows, pushing prices toward extreme levels. Even a disruption of 10 million barrels per day would remove roughly three days of global supply each month.

US President Donald Trump raised tensions further, suggesting Washington could seize Iran’s Kharg Island, a key export hub, or destroy it if Tehran fails to reopen Hormuz and negotiations stall. Analysts say capturing the island would not grant control over Iranian oil but would cripple export capacity and drive prices higher.

The conflict has already disrupted shipments through Hormuz, a chokepoint for about 20% of global oil and gas flows, amplifying volatility across energy markets. Even under a ceasefire, restoring supply chains could take months, with additional US deployments signaling prolonged instability.

The impact is feeding into inflation risks in Europe. Germany has moved to cap fuel price increases, while businesses signal further price hikes as energy costs rise.  https://www.shafaq.com/en/Economy/Oil-could-hit-200-as-Trump-threats-rattle-markets

Cash Dominates Payments In Iraq Despite Rise In Bank Cards

2026-03-30 Shafaq News- Baghdad   Cash transactions remain the preferred method of payment for many Iraqis despite the expansion of banking cards and digital applications, as concerns over trust and system stability continue to limit broader adoption.

Economic expert Mohammed Al-Hassani told Shafaq News on Monday that Iraq’s liquidity structure continues to reflect a heavy reliance on cash, noting that around 40% to 45% of the money supply remains outside the banking system, while only 55% to 60% is held within banks.

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) also indicated that total cash in circulation stands at 93.789 trillion dinars, while 115.535 trillion dinars ($79.7 billion) are held within banks. Recent economic reports estimate that 90% to 95% of transactions in Iraq are still conducted in cash.

Financial adviser to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, told our agency that the informal economy still accounts for a significant share of activity in Iraq, reinforcing reliance on cash, particularly in markets and small businesses. He added that cultural factors and limited digital financial awareness contribute to this preference, alongside concerns over fees and technical errors, noting that many cardholders use their cards primarily to withdraw salaries rather than as a payment tool.

However, Salih pointed to emerging positive indicators, with gradual growth in the use of electronic payment cards, particularly at fuel stations and in some services, supported by the government’s economic and banking reform program.

Speaking to Shafaq News, financial expert Mahmoud Dagher said the shift from cash to electronic payments faces several challenges, including the lack of a fully organized economic cycle, such as business registration, property documentation, and access to bank accounts.

Additionally, the absence of large segments of consumers and merchants from the banking system limits the expansion of electronic payment tools, while increasing trust in the banking sector and offering incentives, such as discounts or additional benefits, is essential to encourage adoption.

“Imposing electronic payments by force may not yield positive results,” he stated, noting that Iraq’s electronic payment system is still relatively new, having emerged only around two years ago.  https://www.shafaq.com/en/Economy/Cash-dominates-payments-in-Iraq-despite-rise-in-bank-cards

“News Tidbits From TNT” Monday 3-30-2026

TNT:

Tishwash:  The Iraqi parliament sets April 11 as the date for holding a session to elect the president of the republic.

The Iraqi parliament's presidency announced on Monday that April 11th has been set as the date for a session to elect the president of the republic.

The Presidency of the Council stated in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency that it “held an expanded meeting with the heads of the parliamentary blocs to discuss a number of important files related to the work of the Council, most notably the discussion of a number of important laws that will be included on the agendas of the Council’s sessions during the coming period, as well as completing the vote on the Council’s standing committees.”

She added: "The meeting also discussed at length the issue of electing the President of the Republic, and the importance of proceeding with this constitutional entitlement and ending the political deadlock in light of the security and economic conditions that the country is suffering from."

According to the statement, the Speaker of Parliament decided to "set Saturday, April 11, as the date for holding a session to elect the President of the Republic," calling on the leaders of the political blocs to "assume their responsibilities in completing the constitutional requirements and forming a government capable of facing the challenges."

The Presidency of the House of Representatives held a consultative meeting yesterday, Sunday, in which it discussed the ongoing preparations to set a date for a session to elect the new President of the Republic of Iraq during this week in order to end the current political deadlock and proceed with the formation of the next government.

This comes as 220 members of the Iraqi parliament submitted a list of their names and signatures to the parliament's leadership, demanding that a session be held next Monday to elect the president of the republic.

The coordinating framework that brings together the ruling Shiite political forces in Iraq agreed to postpone deciding on a prime ministerial candidate until after the end of the ongoing regional war between the United States and Israel against Iran, according to a political source who spoke to Shafaq News Agency earlier.

The Coordination Framework had officially nominated Maliki on January 24, a move that opened the door to negotiations to form the new government, but the process faltered as disagreements continued over the election of the President of the Republic, the constitutional entitlement that precedes assigning the candidate of the largest bloc to form the government.  link

Tishwash: Economic expert: A Hong Kong company has submitted a proposal to Iraq to extend two oil pipelines towards Jordan and Turkey.

Economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi revealed that Iraq has received an offer to construct oil pipelines from the Hong Kong-based company Heritage Funds LPF.

Al-Marsoumi stated in a Facebook post, which was monitored by Iraq Observer, that this company possesses extensive experience in financing government projects and is prepared to implement and finance the construction of an oil and gas pipeline project using an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) model based on barter contracts with a share of crude oil.

He explained that the company submitted its offer to the Iraqi Ministry of Oil to implement the following two projects:

1. A project extending from the port of Basra to the city of Haditha, and from Haditha to Aqaba in Jordan or the port of Latakia on the Mediterranean Sea in Syria.

2. A pipeline extending from the port of Basra to the Turkish border.

Al-Marsoumi did not specify when this offer was submitted or whether it was related to the current crisis.

Iraqi oil production halted after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the ongoing war, and the strait is the main outlet for Iraqi oil exports.

While Iraq exported around four million barrels per day before the war, its exports have now plummeted to just 200,000 barrels per day via the Turkish Ceyhan pipeline and a few thousand more by tanker through Jordan.

Iraq faces complex economic challenges and fears of complete economic paralysis with the cessation of its oil revenues, which constitute more than 95% of the income of this rentier state. link

We are committed to continuing to innovate and apply the best international standards to serve our clients and enhance our role as a key partner in supporting the Iraqi economy, especially with our recent investment in the electronic payment sector, which will reshape the digital banking experience in the country.”

The agency also affirmed the bank’s national ratings in Iraq at “iqA” for the long term and “iqA1” for the short term, with a stable outlook for all ratings.

The National Bank of Iraq’s core financial strength rating and national rating are the highest among Iraqi banks covered by Capital Intelligence, reflecting the bank’s robust financial position and asset quality, along with strong liquidity supported by a growing customer deposit base and high profitability levels.  link

Tishwash: Al-Hakim is planning the return of Al-Sudani, and Parliament is ready on Tuesday... Bahaa Al-Araji is very optimistic

The head of the Reconstruction and Development parliamentary bloc, Bahaa al-Araji, revealed on Sunday (March 29, 2029) an intensive political movement led by the Wisdom Movement to reinstate Mohammed Shia al-Sudani for a second term as Prime Minister.

He confirmed that 9 out of 12 forces within the coordination framework support this direction. Al-Araji indicated that the upcoming parliamentary session next Tuesday will witness the achievement of a two-thirds quorum to elect the President of the Republic, considering any further delay to be a “clear violation of the constitution.”

He added that Iraq is exempt from the decision to prevent passage through the Strait of Hormuz, and that Washington informed the Kurdistan Regional Government of the error of its decision to prevent oil exports. Al-Araji also announced that April 8 has been set as the final date for resolving the outstanding entitlements.

The Reconstruction and Development Coalition published, via its Facebook page, a statement by the head of the bloc, Bahaa Al-Araji, which was followed by the 964 Network , in which he revealed that “the two-thirds quorum required to elect the President of the Republic will be achieved in the upcoming parliamentary session on Tuesday, stressing that the opposition does not exceed a minority, foremost among them the “Al-Asas” Coalition, while the Badr Organization and the Victorious and National Approach blocs will be at the forefront of those present.”

Al-Araji explained that “Fuad Hussein requested a postponement of the session, but in his opinion, the current delay constitutes a clear violation of the constitution.”

In the Prime Minister's file, Al-Araji stated that "nine out of twelve forces within the coordination framework support granting Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani a second term, noting that the Wisdom Movement is the owner of this project, and it is supported by the Sadiqun and Badr blocs and the forces of Abu Alaa Al-Walai."

He confirmed that “Nouri al-Maliki pledged to return the position to al-Sudani, and that the decision to withdraw al-Maliki’s nomination was taken implicitly despite the existence of an opposing wing within the State of Law coalition.”

On the security and regional level, Al-Araji praised Al-Sudani’s success in “keeping Iraq away from the war that Israel is trying to drag it into,” stressing that “the authority to declare war is limited to the Commander-in-Chief and Parliament, and that the decision to defend oneself belongs to the Popular Mobilization Forces alone.”

Al-Araji described the targeting of the army in Habbaniyah as an unintentional mistake, while he considered the bombing of Nechirvan Barzani’s house as a blatant attempt to incite strife.

Regarding the international scene, Al-Araji criticized the policies of the Trump administration, describing the decision to assassinate Iranian Supreme Leader Sayyid Ali Khamenei as a “foolish decision,” stressing that “Iraq is exempt from the decision to prevent passage through the Strait of Hormuz, and that Washington informed the Kurdistan Regional Government of the error of its decision to prevent oil exports.”

In a subsequent post on the “X” platform, Al-Araji said, “With a firm will and sincere parliamentary efforts, today we reaped the fruits of diligent work by setting April 8 as the final date for resolving the stalled entitlements.”

He added, “This achievement would not have seen the light of day were it not for the insistence on breaking the deadlock and moving towards forming a fully empowered government capable of confronting the grave challenges facing Iraq.”  link

Hormuz Shipping Breakthrough: Chinese Vessels Signal Partial Reopening of Critical Trade Corridor

The successful transit of Chinese container ships through the Strait of Hormuz highlights a tentative shift in one of the world’s most vital energy and trade chokepoints.

OVERVIEW (KEY POINTS)

Two Chinese-owned container ships successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz, marking one of the first successful passages of major container vessels since the conflict severely restricted shipping activity in the region. The ships, operated by China’s state-linked shipping sector, had previously attempted and turned back, underscoring the difficulty of navigating the corridor during heightened tensions.

This development comes amid an ongoing regional conflict that has disrupted one of the most critical global trade routes, particularly for oil and liquefied natural gas flows. The Strait of Hormuz handles a significant portion of global energy shipments, making any disruption a major concern for markets and policymakers.

The successful passage suggests a possible, limited reopening under controlled or selective conditions, particularly for nations viewed as non-hostile in the current geopolitical environment. However, overall shipping activity remains significantly reduced, and risk levels remain elevated.

At the system level, this event signals that global trade flows are beginning to adapt rather than fully normalize, with selective access, rerouting, and geopolitical alignment shaping movement through key corridors.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

1. Chinese Container Ships Complete Successful Transit

Two vessels linked to China completed passage through the Strait after earlier failed attempts.

• Marks one of the first successful container ship transits since restrictions intensified

• Demonstrates improved, but still fragile, navigation conditions

2. Previous Attempts Highlight Elevated Risk

The same ships had previously turned back, reflecting ongoing instability.

• Shipping companies remain cautious amid security concerns

• Risk assessments continue to drive route delays and diversions

3. Strait of Hormuz Remains a Critical Bottleneck

The waterway is central to global energy and trade flows.

• Handles a large share of global oil and gas shipments

• Disruptions create immediate ripple effects across markets

4. Selective Access Reflects Geopolitical Alignment

Transit appears influenced by political positioning in the conflict.

• Certain nations may receive preferential or safer passage conditions

• Signals a shift toward fragmented, politically influenced trade routes

WHY IT MATTERS

The partial return of container traffic through the Strait of Hormuz signals a potential easing of one of the most critical supply chain disruptions, but not a full recovery. Markets must now interpret whether this represents a temporary opening or the beginning of sustained normalization.

Energy markets remain highly sensitive to developments in the region, as any disruption or reopening directly impacts global oil pricing, inflation expectations, and supply stability.

From a policy perspective, governments and institutions are being forced to adapt to a more volatile and politically influenced trade environment, where access to key routes cannot be assumed.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

• Currency value: Stability in energy flows supports oil-linked and trade-sensitive currencies

• Purchasing power: Reduced disruption may ease inflation pressure tied to energy costs

• Capital flows: Investors may cautiously return to previously avoided regions or sectors

• Exchange rates: Ongoing uncertainty keeps currency volatility elevated

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

• Pillar 1: Strategic Control of Trade Corridors

The Strait of Hormuz situation highlights how geopolitical control over key chokepoints is becoming a defining feature of global finance. Access to trade routes is no longer purely economic—it is increasingly strategic and conditional.

• Pillar 2: Fragmentation of Global Trade Systems

Selective transit and rerouting reflect a broader shift toward a fragmented global trade network, where political alignment influences logistics. This represents a systemic departure from open, predictable trade flows toward a more controlled and regionally segmented model.

CONCLUSION

The successful transit of Chinese container ships through the Strait of Hormuz is a notable signal of adaptation within a disrupted global system. While it does not indicate full normalization, it demonstrates that critical trade routes are beginning to function under new constraints.

This moment reflects a broader transformation where global trade is no longer frictionless, but negotiated and conditional, shaped by geopolitical realities rather than purely economic demand.

As markets and policymakers respond, the focus will remain on whether this development represents a turning point or a temporary exception in an increasingly complex global landscape.

Control of trade routes is no longer assumed—it is becoming one of the defining levers of global financial power.

The Canary In The Coal Mine In The Treasury’s God-Awful Annual Report

The Canary In The Coal Mine In The Treasury’s God-Awful Annual Report

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  March 25, 2026

A few days ago, the United States Treasury Department quietly published the “Financial Report of the United States Government for fiscal year 2025”. No press conference. No prime-time coverage. Just a PDF uploaded to a government website.  It is, arguably, the most important financial document published in the country each year— the government's own accounting of what it owns versus what it owes.

And the numbers are devastating.

The bottom line is that the government is reporting assets of $6 trillion, versus liabilities of nearly $48 trillion.

 That gives it a “net worth” of NEGATIVE $42 trillion, which is the worst financial position on record.

 Now, in fairness— and I've pointed this out before— governmental accounting is not always grounded in the real world.

 The report, for example, places no value on the potential trillions (if not tens of trillions) of dollars' worth of natural resources in the ground. And it assigns relatively little value to other hard assets like real estate.

 But there's no sugar-coating it. The fiscal situation is absolutely atrocious, and it gets worse every year.

 The good news may be that the people in charge at least seem to understand this; Treasury Secretary Bessent acknowledges in his introduction that the situation is bad and that it needs to be improved quickly.

 He writes, "Getting our fiscal house in order is not only an economic imperative, it is also essential to preserving the strength and credibility of the United States at home and abroad."

And he discusses how they'd like to do it — through "reining in government spending and growing the economy," through deregulation, as well as "energy abundance."

 Hallelujah. That is the exact formula to fix this looming fiscal crisis.

 For the Treasury Secretary to even admit this is borderline unprecedented.

 I've read through the Treasury Secretary's introduction to these annual financial reports going back a couple of decades.

 In 2002, for example, Secretary John Snow (who clearly knows nothing) wrote a very bland intro letter about accounting rules, with no acknowledgment of mounting military spending or the recession.

 By 2007, Secretary Hank Paulson was beaming about how great the economy was, with no mention unsustainable discretionary spending— and this was only months before the entire financial system nearly collapsed.

 In 2014, Secretary Jack Lew bragged about a slight decline in the budget deficit, even as the national debt was spiraling out of control.

And by 2023, Janet Yellen took a victory lap about how white-hot her economy was, completely ignoring the skyrocketing national debt and inflation fueled by COVID-era deficit spending.

 This current report is the first time I've seen a Treasury Secretary seriously acknowledge the problem.

 The obvious question then, is, having correctly identified both the problem and the solution, are they actually going to be able to execute?

 I certainly hope so. Unfortunately many of the things he mentions, like tax reform, regulatory reform, and spending discipline, fall exclusively under the authority of Congress. And the majority of those 435 people are unserious about spending cuts.

 There are a few things that the administration can execute on its own. Energy policy is one of them, and as we've said before, they have done quite a bit to boost nuclear energy.

 Obviously a lot is riding on what happens with Iran when it comes to oil. A peace deal could potentially drive more foreign investment into US Treasuries, which would result in lower interest rates and lower inflation— and buy America time to restore its fiscal responsibility.

 But it could also go the other way and drastically erode confidence in the United States.

 So we're really at a tipping point right now.

 If Iran ends poorly, we could likely see foreign countries avoiding US Treasuries— putting more pressure on the Federal Reserve to ‘print’ money to finance the deficit. That would end up generating a lot more inflation.

 The bigger problem is that Social Security is set to run out of money in six years. So, if Iran ends poorly and there’s no serious fiscal reform, I think that 6-year window is when the US would see major economic consequences.

 One canary in the coal mine is rising interest rates. Right in front of our eyes, the 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields have been rising to near their highest levels in twenty years.

 This is the opposite of what's supposed to happen.

 In the past, during times of crisis (including war), the world rushed into US Treasury bonds as the “risk free” asset. And yields plummeted due to the surge in demand.

 Now it’s the opposite. Since the war began a few weeks ago, the 10-year yield has gone from 3.97% to 4.39%. Yields are up, not down. That’s the opposite of what normally happens in a crisis.

 The jury is still out, and I sincerely hope they’re able to conclude a great deal.

 But if confidence continues to erode and yields keep rising, the Federal Reserve will be under enormous pressure to step in with a new Quantitative Easing program. In other words, they’ll ‘print’ money to buy US government bonds and finance the deficit.

 And as we saw during the pandemic, when the Fed created roughly $5 trillion out of thin air, that led to 9% inflation.

 Bottom line, it’s definitely time to be thinking about a Plan B.

PS- If you have little confidence in the government solving these problems, the sensible response is to prepare.

That means owning real assets whose value doesn't depend on the government's promises.

It means not keeping all of your savings in a single currency, in a single country, under the jurisdiction of a single government.

And it means having a real Plan B — a second residency or citizenship, a foreign bank account, a legal structure that gives you options if things deteriorate faster than expected.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

GLOBAL POLICY SIGNALS SHIFT: CENTRAL BANKS AND ENERGY MARKETS DRIVE SYSTEM-LEVEL UNCERTAINTY

Fresh economic signals, policy positioning, and energy market movements point to growing pressure within the global financial system.

OVERVIEW (KEY POINTS)

Global markets over the past 24 hours have been shaped by renewed central bank signaling, shifting energy dynamics, and uneven economic data, all pointing to a system under increasing strain. Policymakers are navigating a narrow path between controlling inflation and avoiding economic slowdown.

Recent commentary and data releases suggest that interest rate policy may remain tighter for longer, even as growth indicators soften. This creates a policy tension between stability and expansion, especially across major economies.

At the same time, energy markets are reacting to geopolitical and supply concerns, reinforcing volatility in oil pricing and contributing to inflation persistence. This dynamic continues to ripple across currencies, trade balances, and capital flows.

The broader implication is clear: the global financial system is not stabilizing—it is adjusting, with multiple pressure points emerging simultaneously across policy, energy, and growth.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

1. Central Banks Signal Prolonged Tight Policy

Monetary authorities are reinforcing a “higher for longer” stance, emphasizing the need to contain inflation despite slowing growth.

• Rate cuts appear delayed, reducing liquidity expectations

• Markets are repricing risk assets and borrowing costs

2. Energy Market Volatility Returns

Oil prices are reacting to supply concerns and geopolitical uncertainty, pushing volatility higher.

• Rising energy costs risk feeding back into inflation

• Import-dependent economies face renewed pressure on trade balances

3. Mixed Economic Data Signals Fragility

Recent data reflects a split global picture, with some resilience but increasing signs of slowdown.

• Manufacturing and consumer indicators show uneven performance

• Growth expectations remain uncertain and regionally divergent

4. Currency Markets Adjust to Policy Divergence

Foreign exchange markets are responding to interest rate differentials and capital flow shifts.

• Stronger currencies tied to higher-yield environments

• Weaker currencies reflect economic softness and policy constraints

WHY IT MATTERS

The convergence of tight monetary policy, volatile energy prices, and uneven growth creates a complex environment for the global economy. Markets must now operate under reduced liquidity and higher borrowing costs, which can dampen investment and expansion.

Policy decisions are becoming more constrained, as central banks attempt to balance inflation control with financial stability. This increases the risk of policy missteps or delayed responses.

At the system level, these developments reinforce a broader shift toward fragmentation and regional divergence, rather than synchronized global growth.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

• Currency value: Interest rate differentials are driving currency strength disparities

• Purchasing power: Persistent inflation and energy costs erode real value across currencies

• Capital flows: Investors are shifting toward higher-yield and safer markets

• Exchange rates: Increased volatility creates short-term risk and long-term repositioning

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

• Pillar 1: Monetary Policy Realignment

The persistence of tight monetary conditions signals a structural shift away from easy money policies. This transition is redefining how capital is allocated globally and forcing economies to adapt to higher-cost financial environments.

• Pillar 2: Energy and Economic Power Redistribution

Energy volatility and supply dynamics are accelerating a rebalancing of global economic influence. Countries with resource control or diversified supply chains are gaining leverage, while others face increased vulnerability and dependency.

CONCLUSION

The latest developments highlight a system that is not in crisis, but clearly under pressure. Central banks, markets, and governments are all adjusting to a new reality where stability is harder to maintain and growth is less predictable.

What we are witnessing is a gradual but meaningful shift in global financial dynamics, driven by policy constraints, resource competition, and structural imbalances.

This is not a temporary phase—it is part of a broader transformation shaping the future of the global economy.

The system is not breaking—it is recalibrating in real time.

 🌱 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.
