Silver Shorts Panic? Silver Breaks $54, Gold $4300 | Ed Steer

Liberty and Finance: 10-16-2025

Silver has been rising sharply, climbing roughly a dollar per day and recently breaking above $54.

Market analyst Ed Steer joins Liberty and Finance to discuss the unprecedented physical shortages now emerging across global exchanges, with massive withdrawals from COMEX and tight supplies reported in London, India, and China.

He notes that open interest continues to rise alongside prices, signaling sustained demand and a lack of short covering among major traders.

Steer explains that the squeeze on physical availability reflects years of structural deficits and intensifying global investment interest.

 As the market approaches a potential turning point, he emphasizes the importance of owning physical silver and staying positioned ahead of what could become a historic move higher.

Jon Dowling: Currency Revaluations, NESARA, GESARA Updates with NVTV for October 2025

Jon Dowling: Currency Revaluations, NESARA, GESARA Updates with NVTV for October 2025

10-16-2025

For decades, the global financial system has operated on a faulty premise: fiat currency backed by nothing more than government trust. The result? Persistent inflation, declining purchasing power, and vast economic inequality.

But the winds are shifting.

A recent deep dive between financial analysts Jon Dowling and Nick suggests we are not just facing minor economic turbulence, but a foundational Global Reset—a calculated shift away from the corrupt, elite-controlled fiat world and back toward currencies backed by tangible, real-world assets.

Here is a breakdown of the key elements driving this anticipated economic revolution, focusing on currency revaluation, the role of gold, and the rise of strategic digital assets.

To understand where we are going, we must first look back to 1971—the moment the US dollar officially severed its ties to the gold standard. Jon Dowling highlights this date as the genesis of our current financial malaise.

The detachment allowed central authorities to print money virtually limitlessly, leading directly to the inflation and loss of currency purchasing power we experience today. This system has primarily served a small, corrupt elite.

The Reset is fundamentally about reversing this.

The goal is to restore economic sovereignty to nations by ensuring currencies are anchored by real assets—like gold, silver, and crucial natural resources. This move promises a fairer global trade environment and a predicted “golden age” of wealth redistribution and prosperity.

A currency revaluation (RV) is the purposeful adjustment of a nation’s currency valuation relative to global standards, often leading to massive gains for early investors.

The Historical Blueprint: The Kuwaiti Dinar The speakers point to the Kuwaiti Dinar post-Gulf War as a prime example. After strategic revaluation, holding the previously suppressed currency resulted in substantial wealth gains.

The Current Focus: The Iraqi Dinar (IQD) Today, all eyes are on Iraq. Due to extensive international investment, massive untapped natural resources (beyond oil, including precious metals), and strategic geopolitical positioning, the Iraqi Dinar is positioned as the “ribbon cutter”—the first major currency expected to undergo a significant RV.

Years of systemic corruption have prevented free international trade of the IQD at its true value. However, ongoing international efforts to cleanse and stabilize Iraq’s economy, combined with significant actions by the Iraqi government, signal imminent change.

The underlying infrastructure is being laid for Iraq to participate fully and fairly in the global economy, making the RV not a theoretical event, but a strategic necessity.

Trust in traditional fiat banks is nearing an all-time low, fueling a massive demand surge across alternative asset classes.

The price surges in gold and silver are not arbitrary; they reflect growing global distrust in unbacked paper money. Dowling notes the concept of backwardization in the silver and gold markets—a technical anomaly that signals severe stress and a weakening of the traditional financial clearing system. This flight to physical assets confirms that sophisticated actors are preparing for a systemic breakdown and subsequent restructure.

While the reset marks a return to tangible assets, it will be supported by advanced digital infrastructure. The conversation highlights XRP (Ripple) as a potential future backbone for international banking.

Significantly, the US Treasury reportedly creating an XRP wallet reinforces the idea that strategic cryptocurrencies are not just volatile speculative assets, but critical components being integrated into the future global payment and trade system. XRP is positioned as the swift, transparent means by which the new, gold-backed trade flows can be managed.

The push for a global reset is heavily supported by key voices advocating for economic fairness.

Dr. Judy Shelton, a potential appointee to the Fed or Treasury, advocates for a gold-backed US bond. This single action would restore vital global trust in US financial instruments and stabilize currency valuation worldwide, aligning with the principles of asset-backed sovereignty.

This sentiment echoes the long-held position of President Trump, who has consistently pushed back against currency manipulation, demanding a level playing field for international trade and monetary valuation.

Geopolitical events—like potential US intervention in Venezuela and unrest in Zimbabwe—are viewed as part of this global domino effect, clearing the final hurdles toward economic parity.

The message from Dowling and Nick is clear: the transition from a corrupt fiat system to one of tangible asset backing is underway.

While the process of cleaning up centuries of economic corruption takes time and resilience, the end result promises a “golden age” of global prosperity and wealth distribution.

For citizens observing this complex landscape, the encouragement is to stay resilient and hopeful. The true currency, they emphasize, is the people, and persistence in demanding systemic change will lead to significant positive growth.

To fully understand the mechanics and timeline of this momentous global shift, ensure you watch the complete discussion video from Jon Dowling and Nick.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

India Cuts Russian Oil Imports by Half After U.S. Talks — A Shift with Global Implications

Energy diplomacy, sanctions pressure, and BRICS realignment collide

The Strategic Pivot

India has reportedly slashed Russian oil imports by 50% following recent U.S.–India trade talks, according to Reuters.

The decision marks a potential shift in New Delhi’s careful balance between cheap Russian crude and strategic ties with Washington.

• Since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, India became one of Moscow’s largest energy buyers, purchasing discounted oil despite Western sanctions.

• The U.S. has long urged India to diversify energy sources and align more closely with G7 sanctions policy.

• Indian refiners reportedly began cutting orders in September, though official data won’t confirm reductions until late 2025.

“This reduction follows constructive talks between our energy teams,” a White House spokesperson told Reuters. “We welcome India’s steps to support global stability.”

Why It Matters

The move underscores a realignment in global energy politics:

• India: Balances domestic affordability with growing Western diplomatic pressure.

• United States: Gains leverage in isolating Russian energy revenues without triggering global oil shocks.

• Russia: Faces shrinking Asian markets, further constraining revenues as Western sanctions deepen.

• China: May benefit from redirected Russian crude at deeper discounts, tightening Moscow–Beijing energy ties.

No formal Indian directive has been issued yet, and refiners are adjusting cautiously to avoid price instability.

Global Policy Implications

This quiet shift carries macro-financial consequences that tie directly into the broader “financial reset” narrative:

• Reduced Russian oil flows could tighten global liquidity in commodity trade, especially for nations transacting outside the dollar system.

• India’s move suggests deeper U.S. coordination to reassert the petrodollar framework, which BRICS nations — particularly Russia and China — have sought to challenge.

• As BRICS pushes for alternative settlement systems and gold-linked trade mechanisms, India’s participation becomes increasingly uncertain.

• This could fragment BRICS cohesion, weakening plans for a unified reserve asset or “BRICS currency.”

The Bigger Picture

If sustained, India’s pivot may accelerate two parallel dynamics:

• A Western-led tightening of global finance through sanctions and compliance systems.

• A BRICS-led counterstructure, forced to innovate faster — potentially via digital settlement rails, gold-backed trade credits, or regional clearinghouses.

Both trends feed into what analysts describe as the early stages of a financial system reset — one where energy flows dictate monetary architecture more than ever.

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

30+ Countries Join BRICS Gold Rush

Central banks shift reserves from Treasuries to tangible assets — gold hits record highs amid global realignment.

Central Banks Lead the Shift

The global financial landscape is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation.
As gold prices surpassed $4,300 per ounce in mid-October 2025 — their highest level on record — more than 30 nations have accelerated gold purchases, signaling a decisive move away from dollar-denominated reserves.

According to the World Gold Council (WGC) and The Economic Times, central banks now hold approximately 36,344 metric tons of gold, valued around $4.5 trillion — exceeding their combined holdings of U.S. Treasury securities for the first time since 1996.
This symbolic milestone marks a historic rebalancing of global wealth.

“We are witnessing a structural realignment of reserve management,” notes the WGC’s latest quarterly report.

The BRICS Core and Beyond

The BRICS bloc — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — holds roughly 20% of global gold reserves, with Russia and China together accounting for nearly three-quarters of the group’s total.
These two nations alone control more than 4,600 tonnes, underscoring their central role in the de-dollarization movement.

Beyond the core bloc, more than 30 other countries have joined the gold accumulation trend:

• Poland added nearly 90 tonnes in 2024, reaching over 500 tonnes in 2025, leading global central bank purchases.
  
  

• China’s reserves rose to about 2,294 tonnes by April 2025 after 18 months of consecutive buying.
  
  

• Kazakhstan reversed prior sales, adding nearly 25 tonnes in 2025.
  
  

• Azerbaijan’s State Oil Fund (SOFAZ) expanded holdings by 18.7 tonnes in Q1 2025.
  
  

• Smaller accumulators — Egypt, Kyrgyz Republic, Qatar, Oman — each added between 1–4 tonnes in 2025, diversifying beyond traditional assets.

Gold’s Record-Breaking Run

Gold’s rally has been one of the most dramatic since 1979.
The metal crossed $4,000 per ounce on October 8, and by October 17, hit an intraday high of $4,310, according to Reuters.

Year-to-date, gold has gained over 55%, outperforming equities, oil, and most sovereign debt indices.

Analysts link this momentum to a combination of:

• Lower real yields as the Federal Reserve signals rate cuts below 4%.

• Persistent inflation concerns and geopolitical fragmentation.

• Central bank diversification from “sanction-vulnerable” reserves to physical assets.

Strategic Motives: Security Over Liquidity

The BRICS gold accumulation accelerated after Western nations froze an estimated $300 billion in Russian reserves in 2022.
This event exposed the vulnerability of digital reserves and foreign-held assets.
Unlike currency reserves, gold stored domestically cannot be sanctioned or seized, making it an appealing hedge for emerging economies seeking monetary autonomy.

Meanwhile, China’s Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) — an alternative to SWIFT — now includes 1,421 banks in 110 countries, supporting the idea of a multi-polar financial network and potentially paving the way for a gold-backed settlement mechanism within BRICS trade channels.

A Long-Term Structural Shift

The ongoing reserve restructuring signals a deep and likely irreversible trend:

• Central banks have purchased over 1,000 tonnes annually for three consecutive years — twice the decade average.

• The value of official gold holdings now exceeds the combined U.S. Treasury exposure in central bank portfolios.

• Gold-backed ETFs have added over 600 tonnes in 2025, with inflows exceeding $30 billion in Q1 alone.

Analysts describe this not as a temporary rally but a “structural realignment of global reserves.”

Implications: Toward a Parallel Monetary Order

This gold-driven reserve expansion dovetails with the BRICS agenda to build alternative financial frameworks independent of Western clearing systems.
While a full “gold-backed BRICS currency” remains speculative, the underlying behavior — sovereigns accumulating hard assets — demonstrates a gradual pivot from trust-based finance to asset-backed credibility.

The implications are sweeping:

• The U.S. dollar’s dominance in global settlements may gradually erode.

• Emerging economies gain stronger negotiating leverage within trade and credit systems.

• Gold re-emerges as both a political and monetary tool — not just a commodity hedge.

The Bottom Line

As the world’s monetary map redraws itself, the BRICS gold rush is less about speculation and more about sovereignty and control.
From Warsaw to Beijing, the signal is unmistakable: hard assets are once again the foundation of power.

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

Greg Hunter with Bo Polny: Silver and Gold Record Highs Continue and No War

10-16-2025

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com  (Updated)

A little more than a month ago on USAWatchdog, Biblical cycle timing expert, geopolitical and financial analyst Bo Polny said, “Silver, this time around, is not just going to go through $50 per ounce, it’s going to go through it like a hot knife through butter.” 

With more than a 20% rise in the last 30 days alone, Polny was right.  (Silver was around $40 per ounce on 9/10 when Polny made his call.  

It’s now more than $53 an ounce as I write this.  Silver is up 80% since the beginning of 20025!)  Polny is still predicting a “Silver Explosion Kills Babylon’s Financial System.”  You ain’t seen nothing yet. 

 Polny explains, “All you have is digits.  Go into your bank, and if you have six digits in your bank account, try to pull out $100,000.  They will say, ‘no way.’  They won’t let you pull out $100,000.  They don’t have it in the account.  This is called a bank run. 

 We are about to see bank runs.  We are starting to see bank runs on silver. . .. In 1980, silver touched $49 and change.  In 2011, it was the same thing.  It’s never ever touched $50 per ounce.  It just did that last week, and it went through $50. 

It’s going to battle at $50 and pull back, and then it is going to explode.  It’s going to explode and freak people out.  Then we are going to see bank runs and people lining up to get gold and silver and specifically silver.  It is going to get sold out everywhere. .

Silver is the marker for the Jubilee. . .. Silver is the marker for the takedown of Babylon. . .. Silver is still the greatest buy in human history.  It’s super cheap right now.  Why? 

 Money creation, let that sink in. . ..  In the 1970’s, you could buy a new car for $3,000 or $4,000.  They have created money out of thin air, and now, the entire world is enslaved. . .. The system is a total fraud.  They have created money like lunatics out of thin air.”

Polny also says, “Bitcoin has just made a reversal, and it will make new all-time highs, big all-time highs.  We are going to see a powerful move to the upside, and it will cause XRP to go up with it. 

Many other coins are going to go totally vertical with it.  We get a very big move to the upside, and then we get a top. . .. The prophecy says ‘they fall in fall.’ 

 There is going to be a very big market crash in Bitcoin.  It’s not going to be this month, but there is going to be a very big drop as we come into the end of the year.  This starts in November on crypto and the stock market. . ..

What is not going to be dropping are precious metals, silver and gold.  I said silver had to get through $50, and then there would be an explosion.  The explosion will take it to crazy numbers. 

If silver is exploding, guess what gold is doing?  Exploding.  Gold is going to explode, but silver will explode more percentage wise.  Silver is in a pattern of outperforming gold, and it all started on April 21.”

Polny studies Biblical time calculations to predict big turns coming.  Polny says, “All the math is pointing to the 31st of October as a very important time point. 

Something big is going to unfold at the end of October into the beginning of November.”

There is much more in the 93-minute in-depth interview.

“Tidbits From TNT” Friday 10-17-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  How did a Gulf nation barely bigger than Nagaland build the world’s most powerful currency?

Despite its modest size, Kuwait boasts the world's most valuable currency, the Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD), with an exchange rate of approximately 1 KWD = 3.26 USD.

1. Kuwait: A Tiny Powerhouse

Kuwait, a small nation of approximately 5 million people, occupies just 17,818 square kilometres, slightly larger than India's Nagaland. Despite its modest size, Kuwait boasts the world's most valuable currency, the Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD), with an exchange rate of approximately 1 KWD = 3.26 USD. Its compact geography and strategic Gulf location allow it to efficiently manage infrastructure and economic policies that reinforce its currency strength.

The Oil Wealth Advantage

Kuwait's economic strength stems from its vast oil reserves, ranking among the top globally. The country has a crude oil production capacity of 3.2 million barrels per day. Oil exports constitute a significant portion of its GDP, contributing to a nominal GDP of $160 billion. This concentrated resource wealth provides a continuous inflow of foreign currency, supporting both the dinar and government spending.

Strategic Currency Pegging

The Kuwaiti Dinar's high value is maintained through a strategic peg to a basket of international currencies, rather than a single currency like the US Dollar. This approach allows Kuwait to manage its currency's value more effectively, insulating it from fluctuations in any single foreign currency. The peg also provides predictability for trade, investment, and international contracts.

 Fiscal Discipline and Sovereign Wealth Fund

Kuwait's government exercises fiscal discipline, with a low unemployment rate and moderate inflation. The country also manages a substantial sovereign wealth fund, the Kuwait Investment Authority, which invests globally, further bolstering its economic stability. These investments act as a buffer against oil market volatility and enhance the long-term strength of the dinar.

Limited Domestic Market

With a population of just over 5 million, Kuwait's domestic market is limited. However, this constraint is offset by its strategic location and strong trade relations, particularly in the oil sector, which drive economic growth and support the high value of its currency. The government also leverages free trade zones and international partnerships to expand its economic reach beyond domestic consumption.

 High GDP Per Capita

Kuwait's GDP per capita stands at approximately $32,000 (nominal) and $51,000 (purchasing power parity). These figures place Kuwait among the wealthiest nations globally, reflecting its economic prosperity and the strength of its currency. High per capita income allows for significant domestic savings and investment, which further stabilises the dinar.

Political Stability Amid Challenges

Despite facing political challenges, including parliamentary dissolutions, Kuwait maintains a relatively stable political environment compared to many of its regional counterparts. This stability contributes to investor confidence and supports the strength of the Kuwaiti Dinar. Strong institutions and consistent regulatory frameworks also encourage foreign capital inflows.

Diversification Efforts

Recognising the volatility of oil prices, Kuwait is actively pursuing economic diversification. Investments in sectors such as finance, real estate, and infrastructure aim to reduce dependency on oil revenues and ensure long-term economic stability. These initiatives also create employment opportunities and stimulate private-sector growth.

Kuwait's economic strength and strategic location enhance its influence in the Middle East. It plays a significant role in regional organisations and maintains strong diplomatic relations, further supporting the value of its currency. The country’s reputation for stability makes it a hub for regional banking, finance, and investment.

Comparison with India

In contrast, India's currency, the Indian Rupee (INR), is valued at approximately 1 USD = 87.9 INR in 2025. Factors such as a large population, trade deficits, and inflation contribute to the lower value of the INR compared to the Kuwaiti Dinar. While India’s economy is rapidly growing, structural challenges and fiscal pressures limit the rupee’s global strength. Kuwait's rise to having the world's most powerful currency is a testament to the effective management of its oil wealth, strategic fiscal policies, and efforts towards economic diversification.  link

Salman stated that "the banking reforms currently being worked on constitute a turning point in the history of Iraq's economic development, and that the government is determined to support all local and international institutions working to develop the banking sector, as it is a pivotal part of the economic growth and financial stability plan."

He noted that "the government extended its appreciation to the Central Bank, banks, and international and local advisory teams working in this field".  link

He added: "Elections are everyone's commitment and responsibility, and broad participation in them means shaping the future of the country," adding that "choosing the most suitable and competent means continuing reform and work to achieve more accomplishments."" link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Peace as Reset: How the Budapest Summit Could Reshape Global Finance

Trump and Putin’s planned meeting in Budapest revives hopes for peace — and may quietly signal a shift toward a long-awaited financial realignment.

The Breakthrough Nobody Expected

A sudden flurry of diplomatic activity has redefined the geopolitical map.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed to meet in Budapest, aiming to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine — a conflict now entering its fourth year.

The announcement follows a surprise phone call between the two leaders, described by Kremlin officials as “frank and substantive.” The call reportedly came just as Washington was considering a new round of advanced weapons for Ukraine, including Tomahawk missiles, a move that could have deepened confrontation rather than cooled it.

Shortly after the conversation, Putin convened Russia’s Security Council to review next steps. Within hours, signals emerged from Moscow indicating a willingness to resume structured talks with Western interlocutors — including a potential return to EU soil, something unseen since the invasion began in 2022.

Hungary, a NATO member and European Union state that maintains working relations with both Washington and Moscow, has offered to host. Officials confirmed that Budapest will guarantee Putin’s entry despite legal hurdles, framing it as a step toward “peace through dialogue.”

The Political Context

The developments follow weeks of quiet back-channel communication between U.S. and Russian advisers. Trump, who has made ending the Ukraine conflict a central theme of his 2024 campaign, called the war “inglorious” and “unnecessary.” His framing suggests that a negotiated ceasefire, rather than a battlefield victory, may be the preferred outcome if he returns to office.

For Europe, Putin’s re-entry into diplomatic settings could signal an attempt to restore limited engagement with the EU — an essential step for any eventual settlement.
For Ukraine, however, the message is complex: peace may come with conditions that freeze existing front lines rather than restore full territorial sovereignty.

From Ceasefire to Reset: The Economics of Peace

A credible peace process would not only reshape Eastern Europe’s security landscape — it could also serve as the economic trigger for a broader global financial reset.

1. Confidence Restoration in Fragile Markets
War has fractured supply chains, diverted capital to defense, and inflated energy prices. A truce would immediately reduce geopolitical risk premiums, unlocking investment flows across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

2. Repricing Sovereign Debt
Countries neighboring the conflict, from Poland to Turkey, have endured elevated borrowing costs. Peace would lead credit agencies to revise risk outlooks downward, lowering yields and freeing fiscal space for reconstruction and development.

3. Rebalancing of Global Reserves
With de-escalation, central banks could reassess heavy defensive positions in U.S. dollars and U.K. gilts, shifting liquidity toward infrastructure and energy investment — a long-term reallocation away from “war capital” to “rebuild capital.”

4. Revival of Trade Corridors
Reconstruction in Ukraine would stimulate European manufacturing and logistics, while opening new corridors linking the Black Sea, the Balkans, and Central Asia — critical routes for commodities and renewables.

5. The Human and Market Psychology Effect
Peace reintroduces optimism. Investors begin to price for cooperation rather than destruction. Historically, postwar recoveries — from Europe in 1948 to the Balkans in the 1990s — have delivered exponential returns once stability is credible.

The Architecture of a Financial Reset

For a true global reset to emerge from this diplomatic opening, the following preconditions would have to align:

• Transparent Mediation: Neutral guarantors (possibly UN or BRICS intermediaries) to ensure compliance and build credibility.

• Debt Relief Mechanisms: Coordinated restructuring for Ukraine and related economies to prevent insolvency during reconstruction.

• Reconstruction Bonds: A multilateral fund could issue “Peace Bonds” backed by international guarantees — an instrument attracting both state and private investors.

• Monetary Stabilization: Central banks may coordinate liquidity facilities to cushion postwar volatility and avoid inflation shocks.

• Energy and Commodity Frameworks: Russia’s re-entry into regulated European markets under new conditions could stabilize energy pricing — reducing systemic inflation risk worldwide.

Risks and Skepticism

Critics warn that neither side may be negotiating in full good faith. Hardliners in both Kyiv and Moscow view compromise as surrender, while Washington’s establishment remains divided on the optics of Trump engaging Putin.

Economic expectations may also outpace political reality: reconstruction funding requires sustained security guarantees and governance reforms. A rushed or symbolic summit could raise hopes that later collapse — producing renewed instability rather than relief.

The Broader Implication

If diplomacy in Budapest leads to verifiable de-escalation, it could be more than just the end of one war. It would mark the first major post-unipolar negotiation between U.S. and Russian leadership since the Cold War — and the first real test of whether peace itself can serve as a foundation for financial redesign.

In this scenario, markets would not simply “recover.” They would restructure — shifting away from debt-driven defense cycles toward real asset investment and new monetary alignments.
The global economy could enter a phase where financial security depends less on sanctions and more on sustainable cooperation.

Outlook

The Budapest Summit — if realized — could become the diplomatic inflection point that transforms not only Eastern Europe’s map but the logic of global finance. Peace may yet prove to be the ultimate stimulus.

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

Privacy vs. Prudence: The FSB’s Warning on Crypto Data Gaps — and the Quiet March Toward a Financial Reset

Global regulators eye new coordination as privacy laws and fragmented data threaten oversight of the crypto economy.

Key Developments

The Financial Stability Board (FSB) — the G20’s global risk watchdog housed at the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) — has sounded a fresh alarm:
privacy laws and inconsistent regulations are blocking effective cross-border oversight of crypto markets.

In its latest 107-page peer review report, the FSB highlights how fragmented supervision and secrecy rules are undermining global cooperation — creating blind spots that could amplify systemic risk in the next financial downturn.

The Findings

• Persistent Gaps: Sixteen years after Bitcoin’s debut, most countries still lack consistent rules for crypto assets and stablecoins.

• Data Inconsistencies: Regulators rely on incomplete or commercial datasets that fail to capture full market risk.

• Privacy Barriers: Strict data protection laws prevent regulators from sharing critical transaction or counterparty data across borders.

• Cooperation Breakdown: Some firms and authorities refuse to exchange data, citing legal uncertainty or lack of reciprocity.

• Systemic Risk Potential: The FSB warns these weaknesses invite regulatory arbitrage, leaving the global financial system exposed.

The Privacy Dilemma

While data privacy remains a fundamental right, regulators argue it has become a double-edged sword:

• Privacy laws can shield legitimate data, but they also protect risky or opaque behavior.

• Without reciprocal information-sharing agreements, financial supervisors are effectively blind to cross-border contagion.

• The absence of shared data slows global risk detection — particularly for large stablecoin networks.

The FSB urges governments to craft selective disclosure frameworks — systems that allow targeted sharing of verified data while preserving confidentiality.

Why This Matters: The Path Toward a Financial Reset

Addressing these challenges could quietly restructure global finance over the next decade.
A few emerging trends hint at a gradual but deliberate financial reset:

• Unified Regulatory Standards: Common data-sharing and reporting rules could eliminate arbitrage and standardize compliance across markets.

• Digital Payment Corridors: Secure, regulated stablecoins may underpin cross-border payment systems that bypass legacy banking rails.

• Capital Realignment: Reliable global supervision could attract institutional investment into blockchain-based infrastructure and tokenized debt markets.

• Reserve Diversification: Nations could begin using multi-currency and multi-asset settlement models, reducing dollar dependency.

• Post-Crisis Coordination: These tools could facilitate reconstruction and global liquidity management after future market shocks.

If implemented, these measures would not be a sudden overhaul — but a stepwise realignment of the world’s financial architecture.

Challenges Ahead

• Legal Resistance: Privacy advocates and data regulators may view cross-border disclosure as intrusive.

• Technical Readiness: Secure, interoperable data-sharing frameworks remain in early stages.

• Political Fragmentation: Divergent national priorities could delay coordinated reform.

Despite the risks, the direction is clear: international regulators are preparing the foundation for a post-crisis monetary framework — one that merges digital finance with enhanced transparency.

Analysis:
The FSB’s review underscores how privacy and fragmentation are not only regulatory problems — they are structural weak points in the global system.
Solving them could lead to deeper data integration, tokenized liquidity networks, and new frameworks for global reconstruction finance.

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

What If Gold Crashes To $3,000 Per Ounce?

What If Gold Crashes To $3,000 Per Ounce?

Notes From the Field by James Hickman (Simon Black)  October 16, 2025

A little over a month ago, in early September, after careful analysis and detailed study, my team and I reached an important conclusion. And we started telling our audience almost immediately.

Gold had just crossed $3,500 per ounce, silver had just crossed $40, and many gold and silver mining companies had experienced astonishing gains.

 Of course none of this came as a surprise to our readers. We’ve been saying for the past few years that gold in particular was going to go much higher, specifically because foreign governments and central banks were buying up gold by the metric ton as a way to diversify their strategic reserves away from the US dollar.

 That extra demand from central banks totaling a few hundred billion dollars sent gold prices rocketing higher. And we also said this trend would continue.

 Similarly over the past couple of years, as we were predicting higher gold and silver prices, we also predicted that mining companies would benefit, and generate record revenues and record profits as a result.

At the time those mining companies had been left for dead in financial markets, with share prices so cheap they were practically being given away.

We told our audience over and over again in print and in our podcasts that this wouldn’t last, and that mining companies would surge in value.

And that’s exactly what happened. In fact, many of the companies we featured in our premium investment research are up 3x, 4x, 5x, even 6x this year alone.

 But early last month we realized there was another near term catalyst that would likely send these companies’ share prices even higher. These businesses are all publicly traded, and so they have to report their earnings, usually every quarter.

 Q1 earnings were great. Q2 earnings were fantastic. But we realized that gold and silver had been rising so quickly, that Q3 earnings—which would be reported sometime in October—would just be out of this world.

We did the math and crunched the numbers ourselves, and based on our analysis, even companies that had risen 4 or 5x were still undervalued based on projected Q3 earnings.

And we anticipated that for many of these companies, their share prices would jump after their Q3 earnings were announced.

 The first of those companies reported its earnings earlier this week, and we were absolutely right. Its record profit dazzled investors, and its share price jumped nearly 20% in a day.

It’s also up almost 52% since we made this prediction a month ago.

 We’ve also done the math to see what would happen to these businesses if there were a sudden drop in precious metals prices.

 Well, to give you an example one of the companies we featured in our investment research, which is up more than 5x, would still be incredibly undervalued.

Based on our analysis, even if gold were to drop below $3,000—roughly 30% from here—that company would still be making money hand over fist, and based on its current share price, still trading at around 5.5x earnings.

Oh, and did I mention they pay a substantial dividend?

It’s not that every mining company is in the same boat. There are thousands of companies out there, and many are just terrible businesses with pitiful management and terrible balance sheets.

 But if you’re willing to do the hard work and find the highest quality management, and the most pristine balance sheets, there are still undervalued gems out there.

 This is what we focus on in our premium investment research.

 And we believe that many of them could see similar upside over the next few weeks as they report bonanza Q3 earnings.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Dollar Sinks as Fed Signals Rate Cuts Amid Renewed Trade Tensions

Markets brace for potential easing and escalating U.S.-China economic rivalry.

Fed Signals Possible Rate Cuts

The U.S. dollar has weakened as investors anticipate a potential Federal Reserve rate cut at the October 28–29 meeting.

 ● Fed Chair Jerome Powell indicated that the central bank remains open to easing policy in response to sluggish labor conditions and muted inflation.
  ● Markets are now pricing in a 25-basis-point cut this month, another in December, and possibly additional reductions in 2026.
  ● The dollar has remained soft against traditional safe-haven currencies, including the yen and Swiss franc, while the euro strengthened slightly.

Trade Tensions Add Pressure

Simultaneously, U.S.-China trade tensions have re-escalated, with both countries imposing port fees on shipping firms.

  ● President Trump has suggested further trade decoupling, including potential restrictions on oil imports from China.
  ● Analysts warn that the escalating dispute adds risk to global markets, already sensitive to geopolitical uncertainty.
  ● The combination of monetary policy shifts and trade friction is driving currency market volatility.

Market and Analyst Responses

  ● Federal Reserve: Powell emphasized that the Fed can continue assessing economic conditions despite missing data from the ongoing government shutdown.
  ● Currency Traders: Investors are positioning for further dollar weakness, particularly versus the yen and euro.
  ● Analysts: Joseph Capurso of Commonwealth Bank of Australia warned that tensions could escalate further, posing risks to risk-sensitive currencies like the Australian dollar.
  ● Global Currencies: The Australian dollar rose slightly after hitting a three-week low, while the New Zealand dollar extended losses to a six-month low.

Why This Matters

  • Anticipated rate cuts signal a potential shift toward U.S. monetary easing, affecting interest rates, yields, and investor strategies globally.
  • Dollar weakness could stimulate U.S. exports but may also pressure savings and fixed-income returns.
  • Escalating U.S.-China trade disputes, now extending to port fees, highlight systemic risks in global supply chains and reinforce the interconnectedness of economic policy and geopolitical dynamics.
  • Combined, these factors could increase volatility in currency markets and influence central bank decisions worldwide.

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

When Washington Goes Dark, the World Loses Sight

U.S. shutdown halts key economic data, raising global policy risks.

Global Impact of U.S. Data Freeze

The ongoing U.S. government shutdown has interrupted the release of critical economic indicators—from jobs reports to inflation metrics—creating a growing “data darkness” that complicates decision-making for central banks and policymakers worldwide.

  ● The U.S. represents nearly one-fourth of global output, making its data essential for shaping monetary, trade, and currency decisions in other economies.
  ● The shutdown coincides with IMF and World Bank meetings in Washington, highlighting the potential for global economic coordination challenges.
  ● Policymakers from Tokyo to London have warned that the lack of U.S. data may distort interest rate and currency policy decisions.

Concerns from Global Central Banks

Officials have expressed concern over the accuracy and reliability of financial decisions in the absence of U.S. economic data.

  ● Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda: “It’s a serious problem… the lack of U.S. indicators complicates decisions on Japan’s next rate move.”
  ● Bank of England economist Catherine Mann compared the potential erosion of trust in U.S. institutions to “termites” undermining the British pound’s global standing.
  ● Central banks are relying on private-sector and anecdotal data, which serve as imperfect substitutes for official reports.

Broader Financial and Policy Implications

  ● The shutdown raises the risk of policy errors as central banks may tighten or ease monetary measures based on incomplete information.
  ● The IMF’s World Economic Outlook warns that political pressure on statistical agencies could erode public confidence and complicate central bank operations.
  ● Economists, including Adam Posen of the Peterson Institute, note that governance challenges may affect dollar stability and reserve management.
  ● Private-sector surveys and alternative data sources provide temporary relief but cannot fully substitute for official U.S. reporting.

What’s Next

The shutdown could end if Congress reaches a deal, but credibility damage may persist.

  ● Even temporary data disruptions create information asymmetry, reducing coordination in the global economy.
  ● Extended shutdowns could increase volatility in currency markets, challenge central bank independence, and prompt reevaluation of U.S. economic governance.
  ● Analysts suggest that policymakers globally must adjust for uncertainty and monitor U.S. developments closely.

Why This Matters

  • The shutdown highlights how political gridlock in the U.S. directly affects global economic stability.
  • Delays in critical economic data can lead to misjudged monetary and fiscal policies abroad, affecting currencies, interest rates, and trade flows.
  • The episode underscores the interconnectedness of U.S. economic governance and global financial decision-making, demonstrating the need for resilient data infrastructure.

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

Ripple CEO Calls for Equal Regulatory Treatment of Crypto and Traditional Banks

Garlinghouse emphasizes parity for crypto companies as Ripple seeks a national bank charter.

Advocating for Regulatory Parity

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse urged that crypto companies should be held to the same standards as traditional banks, highlighting perceived inconsistencies in U.S. financial regulation.

Speaking at DC Fintech Week, Garlinghouse said that crypto firms following laws on AML, KYC, and OFAC compliance should receive the same operational benefits, including access to Fed master accounts.

  ● He noted that regulatory approaches are unlikely to change significantly under the potential departure of SEC Chair Paul Atkins or continued leadership under the Trump administration.
  ● Garlinghouse emphasized that equal treatment fosters stability and encourages clear compliance pathways for digital assets.
  ● The comments were aimed at aligning crypto regulation with traditional financial institutions, reducing disparities in market access.

Ripple and the National Bank Charter

Ripple has applied for a national bank charter, joining other digital asset companies like Circle in seeking regulatory approval to operate under bank-like authority.

  ● Coinbase is pursuing a National Trust Company Charter for similar purposes.
  ● Some U.S. banking groups have lobbied the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to delay decisions, citing policy and procedural concerns.
  ● Despite objections, the OCC recently approved a charter for Erebor, a financial services company backed by billionaire Peter Thiel, signaling potential pathways for crypto banking integration.

Regulatory and Industry Implications

If Ripple and similar companies gain Fed-equivalent operational access, it could reshape the interaction between traditional finance and crypto.

  ● Access to Fed master accounts would allow crypto firms to settle payments more efficiently and expand financial services.
  ● Regulatory clarity may encourage institutional adoption of digital assets and stablecoins.
  ● The developments highlight the continuing evolution of U.S. financial infrastructure to incorporate digital assets under structured compliance.

Why This Matters

  • Garlinghouse’s advocacy reflects a broader trend toward integration of digital assets into mainstream finance, reducing the gap between traditional and crypto markets.
  • Approval of bank charters for crypto firms could strengthen systemic stability, providing regulated pathways for digital payments and custody.
  • The evolving framework suggests that financial infrastructure may gradually accommodate digital asset-backed systems, potentially altering the role of central banking and payment settlement in the U.S.

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

U.S. Senator Advocates Turning Seized Bitcoin Into Strategic Reserve

Congressional action aims to integrate digital assets seized from crime into national economic strategy.

Record Bitcoin Seizure Signals Policy Shift

The U.S. government recently seized approximately 127,271 bitcoin—valued at over $14 billion—from the dismantled Prince Group, accused of operating forced-labor and cyber-fraud schemes in Cambodia.

Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) praised the operation, noting its significance for both human rights and financial integrity.

  ● The seizure represents one of the largest in history, positioning the U.S. as a leader in responsible blockchain governance.
  ● Prosecutors charged Prince Group chairman Chen Zhi with wire fraud and money laundering linked to a large-scale “pig-butchering” crypto scam.
  ● Lummis emphasized that converting criminally obtained assets into a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could provide long-term national value.

Legislative Implications

Lummis highlighted two pressing priorities for Congress:

  ● Passing digital asset market structure legislation to empower law enforcement against financial crimes while protecting innovation.
  ● Codifying how seized crypto is stored, returned to victims, and safeguarded for strategic purposes.

These steps aim to integrate cryptocurrency into national policy frameworks, ensuring oversight, transparency, and the potential repurposing of seized digital assets.

  ● Analysts suggest that strategic reserves could influence both domestic and international financial stability.
  ● The case underscores how blockchain assets can be both misused and harnessed for policy objectives.

Why This Matters

  • The operation demonstrates the U.S. government’s growing capacity to convert digital crime proceeds into economic tools, potentially creating new forms of state-held reserves.
  • Establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could influence future legislation and regulatory frameworks for digital assets.
  • The case highlights the tension between fast-moving digital asset innovation and the need for structured governance, illustrating how policy is adapting to emerging technologies.

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

Trump Confirms U.S. Is in a Trade War with China

President Trump acknowledges active trade conflict as tariffs escalate and rare earth export restrictions intensify.

Tariffs as National Security Tool

When asked whether the U.S. is preparing for a sustained trade war with China, President Trump stated:
“Well, we’re in one now.”

Trump’s comment followed his announcement of a 100% tariff threat on all Chinese imports, a response to China tightening its export controls on rare earth minerals critical for semiconductor production.

  ● Trump framed the tariffs as essential for U.S. national defense.
  ● He explained that without tariffs, the U.S. would be “exposed as being nothing.”
  ● The announcement last Friday triggered a temporary cryptocurrency market decline, with Bitcoin dropping from ~$121,560 to below $103,000 before partially recovering.

Treasury Response and Geopolitical Context

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent criticized China’s export restrictions:

“If some in the Chinese government want to slow down the global economy through disappointing actions and through economic coercion, the Chinese economy will be hurt the most — and make no mistake: this is China versus the world.”

  ● Bessent emphasized that the U.S. and its allies will resist economic coercion from Beijing.
  ● The remarks signal continued escalation in U.S.-China trade tensions.
  ● Analysts note these actions could influence global supply chains for technology, energy, and critical minerals.

Impact on U.S. Bitcoin Mining Industry

The tariffs have practical implications beyond trade balances, affecting the U.S. cryptocurrency mining sector.

  ● China-origin ASIC Bitcoin mining machines now face a 57.6% tariff, while machines from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand incur 21.6% tariffs.
  ● Costs have increased significantly for U.S. miners purchasing equipment.
  ● Despite previous concerns, no major U.S. mining company has yet relocated operations overseas.
  ● Last year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized thousands of mining machines, citing illegal importation as radio frequency devices, compounding operational challenges.

Why This Matters

  • The trade war illustrates the intersection of national security and economic policy, demonstrating how tariffs can shape both domestic industry and international relations.
  • Restrictions on rare earth minerals highlight the geopolitical leverage of resource-dependent nations and the potential for global supply chain disruptions.
  • Market volatility in sectors such as cryptocurrency underscores the financial ripple effects of trade and policy decisions, even in specialized industries.
  • Ongoing U.S.-China tensions signal structural shifts in global trade frameworks, with potential implications for currency flows, digital assets, and industrial strategy.

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

Another Huge Bankruptcy Just Rocked Wall Street

Another Huge Bankruptcy Just Rocked Wall Street

George Gammon:  10-16-2025

Wall Street is abuzz with the recent, and rather dramatic, bankruptcy of First Brands, an auto parts manufacturer.

While seemingly a contained corporate failure, the event has sparked a crucial conversation: could this be the first domino to fall, signaling the onset of a credit crisis reminiscent of the devastating 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC)?

A recent deep dive into the situation, presented by George Gammon, breaks down the complexities into three essential steps, offering a stark look at the underlying mechanics and potential ramifications.

At the heart of the First Brands collapse lies the intricate and often opaque world of shadow banking, also known as private credit. This sector operates beyond the watchful eye of traditional regulatory frameworks, making it a breeding ground for both innovation and, as we’re seeing, significant risk.

The video highlights institutions like Jeffre as key players in this space, having lent heavily to First Brands. The fallout from First Brands’ bankruptcy has exposed just how fragile and ill-understood this private credit market truly is.

We’re talking about a staggering loss for First Brands, reportedly around $2 billion. The whispers of fraud and, more concerningly, rehypothecation of collateral, are particularly alarming.

This practice – using the same assets as security for multiple loans – dramatically amplifies systemic risk. When things go south, the interconnectedness of these deals can trigger a cascade of losses across the financial system.

The presenter aptly uses the analogy of “swimming naked” to describe the vulnerability of both borrowers and lenders in the private credit market. When economic conditions begin to deteriorate, these entities, often operating with thinly veiled collateral, are suddenly exposed to harsh realities.

The second step of the analysis delves into the gut-wrenching forensic details of the First Brands bankruptcy. The findings are, frankly, shocking.

 There are strong suggestions that First Brands may have never actually received $1.9 billion it supposedly borrowed. Adding to the disbelief, the company appears to have had zero funds in segregated accounts to pay its creditors.

Reports indicate that multiple lenders seemingly believed they had exclusive claims to the same collateral. This created a chaotic “borrowing merry-go-round,” a complex web of claims and counter-claims that went unnoticed until the bubble inevitably burst.

 This situation draws uncomfortable parallels to the 2008 subprime crisis, where complex financial instruments and layered risks obscured the true extent of credit exposure.

The ultimate question remains: does the First Brands bankruptcy herald the dawn of a new credit crisis? The “swimming naked” analogy is revisited here, but with a broader scope.

As economic deterioration accelerates, more and more risky players are exposed, leading to liquidity freezes and a tightening of credit conditions. The interconnected nature of the financial system means that the failure of one entity, especially one involved in complex shadow banking deals, can have far-reaching consequences.

If the current economic climate worsens, the presenter argues, we could indeed witness a cascade of bankruptcies and a severe credit crunch akin to the GFC.

However, if economic conditions remain stable or even improve, the crisis might be contained. The presenter’s “base case” suggests that government intervention is likely to delay the most severe outcomes, though this could inadvertently encourage further malinvestment and risk-taking down the line.

This unfolding situation underscores the importance of understanding the complexities of our financial system.

The First Brands bankruptcy serves as a stark reminder of the risks lurking in the less regulated corners of finance.

For those seeking to understand how to navigate potential financial bubbles and crises, George Gammon is hosting a free webinar on October 29th. He will be sharing contrarian investment strategies and offering a special promotion for an investment conference scheduled for 2026.

Watch the full video from George Gammon for a deeper understanding of these critical issues and to prepare yourself for what may lie ahead.

GOLD Is Your Monetary Doomsday Clock | Egon von Greyerz

Soar Financially: 10-16-2025

Gold is exploding past $4,000, silver near $50, but according to Egon von Greyerz, this is only the beginning.

 He says we’ve entered the final phase of the global monetary system, where currencies will be destroyed, interest rates will soar, and only gold and silver will preserve real wealth.

In this episode, we discuss the coming collapse, why fiat is already 99% dead, and why gold could still multiply from here.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Tarnished Glory: BRICS and the Waning Aura of the U.S. Dollar

A Challenge to the Dollar’s Dominance

The U.S. dollar’s brand power — long seen as untouchable — is fading as the BRICS alliance reshapes the global financial landscape.

Currency strategist Marc Chandler acknowledged the shift bluntly:

“I’m not sure the dollar has lost its global standing. To me, the dollar’s brand has been tarnished.”

Developing nations are no longer accepting what they view as forced dependence on the dollar. Instead, they’re designing new systems to conduct trade in local currencies, gold, and regional instruments.

  ● BRICS members are expanding currency swap agreements to reduce exposure to the greenback.
  ● China and Russia now settle a growing share of energy trade in yuan and rubles.
  ● India and Brazil are testing digital settlement networks for regional trade.
  ● South Africa recently signed a gold-settlement framework with non-BRICS African partners.

Chandler noted that while many nations must still borrow or transact in U.S. dollars, they’re actively diversifying to lower their vulnerability to dollar fluctuations and U.S. sanctions.

From Monopoly to Multipolarity

The cracks in dollar dominance stem from mounting frustration with U.S. monetary power and foreign policy.

  ● Developing countries see dollar dependence as a tool of control, limiting their fiscal autonomy.
  ● Washington’s sanctions and interest rate cycles ripple across global markets, often hurting emerging economies first.
  ● In response, BRICS nations are crafting a parallel framework for trade, credit, and reserves.

This movement is not a sudden rebellion — it’s a methodical transition:
  ● New trade corridors bypass the SWIFT system through regional clearinghouses.
  ● Oil and commodities are increasingly priced in non-dollar currencies.
  ● Central banks are building gold and yuan reserves to anchor local markets.

The combined effect? The dollar is losing its psychological monopoly — not vanishing, but sharing space in a growing multi-currency world.

The Next Financial Epoch

The coming decade may see a fragmented global reserve structure, with multiple power centers instead of one.

  ● Regional trade blocs could issue digital tokens pegged to commodity baskets.
  ● AI-driven central banking systems may optimize cross-border settlements in real time.
  ● Sovereign digital currencies will erode the need for a single intermediary like the dollar.

One economist at the Bank for International Settlements summed up the shift succinctly:

“The dollar isn’t dying — it’s being redefined by a world that refuses to orbit one sun.”

Whether the United States adapts or resists, this restructuring will determine who writes the next chapter of global finance.

The Deeper Current

What’s unfolding isn’t just geopolitics — it’s a quiet rewriting of financial power:

  ● Nations are reclaiming control of their value systems.
  ● The architecture of trade, credit, and reserves is being rebuilt from the periphery inward.
  ● The global south is no longer a passive participant but an active designer of a new monetary order.

This moment marks the intersection of economics and evolution — where digital innovation, commodity security, and political independence converge.
It’s a shift from empire to ecosystem, from dominance to distributed power.

In short: This isn’t politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.
A quiet revolution declaring, “Out with the old, and in with the new.”

Tishwash:  Removing Zeros: 170 Tons of Gold and One Decision on the Table... Will the Iraqi Dinar Survive Erosion?

 Amid the complexities of the financial landscape and increasing pressures on the money supply, the Central Bank of Iraq is opening the door to one of the most sensitive decisions in its modern monetary history: the project to remove zeros from the local currency.

 This step coincides with the bank's announcement that it will increase its gold reserves from 90 tons to 170 tons, representing approximately 20% of its total assets and placing Iraq fourth in the Arab world and twenty-ninth globally in terms of gold reserves.

Meanwhile, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, Ammar Khalaf, confirmed that there is no intention to float the Iraqi dinar exchange rate in order to preserve the stability of the financial market and the national economy.

He noted that "there is an intention to remove zeros from the currency to alleviate the burden resulting from the accumulation of banknotes within the financial sector." He explained that the goal of the measure is to reduce transportation and storage costs and improve the efficiency of cash circulation.

However, this step, which appears to be technical and reformist on the surface, has raised a wave of questions about its actual effectiveness, and whether it represents a radical solution to the monetary policy crises, or whether it is merely a cosmetic measure to relieve pressure without addressing the core structural imbalances in the Iraqi economy.

According to estimates by international monetary institutions, Iraq is currently experiencing moderate inflation of around 2.5%, a relatively stable environment compared to previous years. However, the money supply (M0) reached historic levels at the end of 2023, making cash transactions a logistical burden for banks and institutions.

 Comparative studies indicate that deleting zeros is a technical accounting step that does not change purchasing power, but rather simplifies calculations and reduces errors in financial systems.

 However, the success of this step depends on its integration with comprehensive economic reform, rather than a measure isolated from the overall financial reality.

Economic expert Ahmed Al-Tamimi told Baghdad Today that "the project to remove zeros from the Iraqi currency represents an important reform step that will facilitate monetary transactions and reduce administrative and logistical burdens on the country's financial and banking system, provided it is implemented within a well-thought-out, comprehensive plan that takes into account economic and market stability."

Al-Tamimi adds, "The accumulation of banknotes resulting from the current bulk of paper money is a significant burden on the financial sector, requiring additional costs in transportation, storage, and management, in addition to making daily transactions difficult for citizens and institutions."

According to comparative economic approaches, countries such as Turkey in 2005 and Ghana in 2007 saw relative success in removing zeros after long periods of stability and strict financial discipline.

 The move helped reduce the costs of cash transactions and boost confidence in the currency.

However, failed experiments, such as those in Zimbabwe and Venezuela, have shown that removing zeros without institutional reform opens the door to renewed inflation and undermines public confidence in the national currency.

Al-Tamimi continues, "Removing zeros will not change the purchasing power of the dinar per se, but it will contribute to simplifying the accounting and financial system and reducing significant numerical discrepancies in financial statements, making money management more efficient and easier to use within government institutions and the private banking sector."

He points out that the success of the experiment depends on "a stable economic environment, effective control of inflation rates, and close cooperation between the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance to ensure a smooth transition without market disruptions or a loss of confidence in the national currency."

According to accurate economic readings, Iraq today stands at a crossroads between comprehensive monetary reform and a symbolic measure with limited impact. Removing zeros may be technically beneficial, but it becomes dangerous if perceived as an attempt to conceal structural crises under an administrative guise. Analysts warn that poor timing or poor communication with public opinion could lead to pricing confusion and possibly "silent inflationary cycles" exploited by some commercial parties.

Al-Tamimi concluded his statement by saying, "The primary objective of this step is to enhance confidence in the Iraqi dinar, facilitate financial transactions, and reduce the burdens resulting from the accumulation of paper currency. It is also a structural reform in monetary policy that should be included within a comprehensive economic reform program that serves the stability of the dinar and enhances its efficiency in domestic and international transactions."

Modern economic analyses confirm that strengthening the gold reserve provides the central bank with moral cover for any future monetary reform. However, it does not replace financial control, strict oversight of public spending, and rebuilding trust between monetary policy and the economic community.     link

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani affirms Iraq's welcome to European companies and investment in development and energy projects.

 Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani received on Wednesday the Swiss Ambassador to Iraq, Daniel Hohn, and the Swedish Ambassador, Jörgen Lindström, in the presence of the CEO of the Swedish company Linkson and the Director of the company's Asia and Middle East branch.

Al-Sudani affirmed, according to a statement from his media office, a copy of which was received by {Euphrates News}, that Iraq welcomes and is interested in the presence of international companies, especially European ones, to work in various development sectors in light of the stability it is witnessing and the legislation and laws that support local and foreign investment.

Al-Sudani pointed out "the country's construction and development across all sectors, including the energy sector, which requires modern technology to advance and grow, a technology available to Swiss and Swedish companies that possess extensive expertise in this field."

The statement added, "The two ambassadors thanked Sudani for the opportunity to meet, affirmed their countries' interest in developing relations with Iraq, and expressed the willingness of Swiss and Swedish energy companies to work in Iraq."

The statement continued, "The meeting also reviewed Linxson's projects, which it began operating in Iraq in 2018, including power plant maintenance projects in Baghdad." 

Al-Sudani directed "the development of a roadmap to explore the most important projects that Swiss and Swedish energy companies can implement in Iraq."  link

OKAY? 

 Document stating no taxes on Dinar and the report for Vietnam

this is the summary from section 6

FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND REMITTANCES

Foreign Exchange

The currency of Iraq is the dinar (IQD).  The Central Bank of Iraq devalued the IQD, by 22.7 percent at the end of Dec 2020, to avoid a liquidity crisis. This came as part of the reform plan put in place by the Prime Minister after the country was simultaneously impacted by COVID -19 and the significant drop in oil prices at that time.

Iraqi authorities confirm that in practice, there are no restrictions on current and capital transactions involving currency exchange if valid documentation supports underlying transactions.  The Investment Law allows investors to repatriate capital brought into Iraq, along with proceeds.  Funds can be associated with any form of investment and freely converted into any world currency.  The Investment Law also allows investors to maintain accounts at banks licensed to operate in Iraq and transfer capital inside or outside of the country.

The GOI’s monetary policy since 2003 has focused on ensuring price stability primarily by maintaining a de facto peg between the IQD and the U.S. dollar, while seeking exchange rate predictability by supplying U.S. dollars to the Iraqi market.  In December 2020, the GOI announced that it would officially devalue the dinar’s peg to the U.S. dollar by 22 percent.  Banks may engage in spot transactions in any currency; however, they are not allowed to engage in forward transactions in Iraqi dinars for speculative purposes.  There are no taxes or subsidies on purchases or sales of foreign exchange.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

U.S. Senate Gridlock Deepens as Shutdown Enters Day 16

A Nation at a Standstill

The U.S. government shutdown entered its 16th day Wednesday, as the Senate once again failed to advance a Republican funding bill — marking the ninth failed attempt to end the budget impasse.

The vote fell short of the 60-vote threshold needed to overcome a Democratic filibuster, leaving large parts of the federal government shuttered and thousands of workers furloughed.

Inside the Capitol Deadlock

The stalled bill, pushed by Senate Republicans, sought to temporarily fund the government through November 21 while pairing spending measures with new limits on certain health care subsidies.

Democrats rejected the proposal, calling it a partisan maneuver that would weaken Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits.

“We won’t negotiate with a gun to the head of the American people,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said after the vote.

Majority Leader John Thune and several Republican allies have floated an alternate plan: advancing standalone appropriations bills, beginning with defense funding, to isolate politically safer areas. So far, Democrats have refused to proceed without a full reopening of the government.

Fallout Across the Country

The impact of the shutdown is widening:

• Federal employees: More than 10,000 federal workers have been furloughed or laid off, with essential services stretched thin.

• Public health: The CDC has paused portions of its disease surveillance and prevention work, prompting concerns about rising risks during flu season.

• Military & law enforcement: The Trump administration has redirected unused funds to pay active-duty troops and key law enforcement personnel — a move some legal experts warn could violate appropriations law.

• Courts & contractors: A federal judge has temporarily halted further firings, citing evidence of politically motivated cuts.

“Every day this drags on, real Americans lose paychecks, security, and trust in government,” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), one of a handful of Republicans urging compromise.

Political Calculations & Escalation

The White House has signaled it may soon release a list of “Democrat programs” targeted for permanent closure if the standoff continues — escalating tensions and deepening partisan rifts.

President Donald Trump, in remarks Wednesday night, accused Democrats of “holding the country hostage” over health care subsidies. Democratic leaders countered that the administration’s threats were “reckless and unconstitutional.”

Despite growing economic and public pressure, there are no clear signs of progress. The Senate is expected to take up a tenth vote on Thursday, though insiders predict another stalemate unless one side softens its stance on healthcare provisions or spending riders.

The Road Ahead

As the shutdown stretches into its third week, economists warn of ripple effects on state budgets, consumer confidence, and small businesses reliant on federal contracts.
Analysts say the longer the standoff lasts, the more likely it is to erode market stability and voter patience heading into the 2026 midterms.

For now, Washington remains locked in a high-stakes battle with no end in sight.

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

Federal Judge Blocks Trump Administration from Firing Workers Amid Shutdown

Judicial Check on Executive Power

In a sharp rebuke to the White House, a federal court issued a temporary injunction on Wednesday blocking the Trump administration from proceeding with mass federal worker layoffs during the ongoing government shutdown.

The order, issued by U.S. District Judge Marcia Lang, halts the administration’s plan to terminate thousands of federal employees it deemed “nonessential” as part of what officials described as a “strategic workforce realignment.”

According to The Guardian and Newsweek, the court found “credible evidence” that the firings may have been politically motivated and could violate constitutional due process and federal labor protections.

The Court’s Rationale

Judge Lang’s 22-page ruling cited concerns that the administration’s directives blurred the line between budgetary necessity and political retaliation.

“The government cannot use a lapse in appropriations as a pretext to eliminate entire segments of the civil service,” the court wrote.

The injunction prevents any further dismissals until the case is fully heard — a process that could take weeks or months if appeals are filed.

Legal experts say the case could set a major precedent for how executive power is constrained during fiscal crises, especially if the administration attempts to invoke emergency authority to bypass Congress.

Shutdown Fallout and Political Shockwaves

The ruling comes amid Day 16 of the federal shutdown, now the longest in modern U.S. history without a funding agreement.
Over 10,000 government employees have already been furloughed, while millions more face delayed paychecks.

Administration officials defended the layoffs as “budget efficiency measures,” arguing that the shutdown offered an opportunity to “modernize” the workforce.
Critics, however, called it a “purge of dissenters” designed to consolidate control within key agencies ahead of 2026 election reforms.

“This was never just about saving money — it’s about reshaping the machinery of government itself,” said one senior Democratic aide.

Broader Implications: Power, Policy & Finance

While the courtroom battle unfolds, global markets and policymakers are watching closely. The injunction’s timing — in the middle of an international debate over sovereign debt, digital currency transitions, and fiscal decentralization — underscores how Washington’s paralysis reverberates far beyond politics.

The disruption to U.S. fiscal operations has already prompted credit rating agencies to reassess American debt stability, adding further volatility to global bond markets.

This judicial intervention may ultimately mark more than a political turning point — it signals the deeper struggle over control of national institutions during a period of financial and systemic transformation.

Seeds of Wisdom Analysis

“This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.”
The federal injunction illustrates this truth vividly. The shutdown has exposed how government structure, workforce policy, and fiscal management are intertwined in a broader economic realignment. Protecting the civil service isn’t merely a labor issue — it’s about who manages the flow of power and money in the new financial order.

“Out with the Old and In with the New.”
This case highlights the clash between legacy government systems and emerging power structures seeking to redefine governance in a post-industrial, AI-driven economy.
