Tishwash:  Payment of dues in black oil and tightening controls at ports are the main reasons for the dollar's decline.

 10 interpretations from expert Manar Al-Abidi

Economic researcher Manar Al-Obaidi reviewed 10 reasons behind the decline in the dollar exchange rate against the dinar in Iraqi markets on Monday, stressing that they have collectively created an economic environment that has contributed to strengthening the dinar's value.

He pointed out that these reasons range from direct economic factors, such as deflation and a decline in spending, to procedural and regulatory factors, such as tightening border controls and traders' shift to the formal banking system, in addition to circumstantial factors related to the elections and the increasing number of expatriates.

 The exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar has witnessed a significant decline recently. This decline is due to a combination of intertwined economic and procedural factors, which vary in their impact but have collectively contributed to strengthening the dinar.

 The most prominent of these factors are:

1- Economic contraction and declining consumer confidence:

The uncertainty facing the Iraqi market due to the economic slowdown has led to a decline in individual and institutional spending confidence, negatively impacting overall demand and thus reducing the need for the dollar as a catalyst for trade.

2- Stopping government investment expenditures:

The government's focus on operating spending rather than investment has slowed economic activity. Since the general budget is the primary driver of economic activity, reducing investment spending has reduced aggregate demand, including demand for the dollar.

3- Tightening control over border crossings:

Government measures to prevent smuggling and regulate relations with the Kurdistan Region have helped curb the phenomenon of overbilling, reducing the unreal demand for dollars on the parallel market.

4- Merchants’ transition to the formal banking system:

Markets have witnessed a large segment of traders entering the formal banking system and adopting the official dollar exchange rate through approved platforms, which has reduced trading volume in the parallel market and eased pressure on the dollar.

5- Decline in re-export operations:

The decline in re-export activity to neighboring countries has reduced demand for imported goods, which has directly impacted the need for dollars to finance these trade transactions.

6- Settling the dues of major companies with petroleum products instead of cash:

The government has settled part of its debts to foreign companies in black oil and naphtha instead of cash, reducing reliance on dollars sold by the central bank and increasing their supply in the market.

7- Preparations for the electoral process:

As the election season begins, campaign spending increases. This spending is often financed from dollar reserves, which necessitates converting large amounts of these reserves into dinars to cover campaign expenses, thus increasing the supply of dollars.

8- Increase in the number of foreign visitors and arrivals:

The increasing number of immigrants to Iraq has brought significant amounts of foreign currency into the local market, providing an additional source of hard currency outside of central bank sales and contributing to increased dollar availability.

9- The cessation of illegal trade as a result of the closure of the border with Syria:

The closure of border crossings with Syria has curbed smuggling and illegal trade, which was heavily reliant on dollars on the parallel market, leading to a further decline in demand for the dollar.

10- Decrease in the issued currency and withdrawal of part of it from the market:

The Central Bank of Iraq withdrew a portion of the dinar money supply from the market, creating a double demand for the Iraqi dinar against the dollar. This balance in demand for the two currencies helped strengthen the value of the dinar and raise its exchange rate against the dollar in the parallel market. link

Tishwash:  Iraq replaces the dollar with gold: a yellow shield against economic storms.

Economic expert Nasser Al-Kanani revealed on Monday (July 28, 2025) that Iraq's position as the Arab country with the largest gold purchases represents a strategic shift in the Central Bank's approach to enhancing the country's financial stability.

Al-Kanani told Baghdad Today, "Iraq's purchase of more than 20 tons of gold in a single year, and its rise to seventh place globally in this field, reflects a calculated move by the Central Bank to protect the national economy from fluctuations in foreign currency prices, especially the dollar."

He pointed out that "gold is considered one of the safest reserve instruments, as it is not affected by fluctuations in the monetary market, unlike paper currencies. This gives Iraq a strategic advantage in confronting sudden crises and enhances confidence in its financial policies, both domestically and internationally."

Al-Kanani explained that "this trend will positively impact the value of the Iraqi dinar in the medium term. It will also contribute to the stability of the local market and reduce reliance on the dollar, giving the Central Bank greater flexibility in managing monetary policy and achieving economic stability in light of current regional and global challenges  link

Mon. 28 July 2025: EXECUTIVE ORDERS ACTIVATED.

The $2.5 billion “renovation” of the Eccles Building was never about modernization — it was a military-grade transformation. The former Federal Reserve HQ is now a financial fortress: hardened, excavated, reinforced, and equipped with biometric-controlled infrastructure.

 Hidden behind bureaucratic language is the reality of two live Executive Orders — EO 13961 (Continuity of Government) and EO 13818 (Global Asset Seizure). These aren’t symbolic. They are the legal backbone of a complete financial reset.

While the public still looks to the U.S. Treasury building for signs of monetary leadership, the real seat of power has already shifted. Eccles is now the operational core of America’s future currency. Quietly, without public debate, Congress, or media attention, monetary control has been relocated and weaponized.

What appears to be a building upgrade is actually a wartime transition — the final phase in a complete dismantling of the old fiat structure and the silent construction of a new sovereign system.

Inside Eccles and the Bureau of Engraving, the old dollar is being replaced, not reprinted. New hardware is being installed — not for traditional currency, but for asset-backed notes: polymer, encrypted, biometric-embedded, ready to be collateralized with gold, oil, or rare earth elements.

These machines aren’t for modernizing fiat. They are for producing sovereign instruments under the laws of war and national emergency. This is the legal and operational extinction of debt-based money.

The reset will be fair & transparent. Legacy banks, foreign stakeholders, and fiat profiteers will be locked out.

 The new system won’t run on leverage — it will run on collateral, constitutional law, and national security protocols. What was once a privately steered economy will become a sovereign, state-issued monetary domain.

 The age of endless credit, inflationary theft, and offshore manipulation is closing. The Eccles vault is being sealed — not just physically, but politically and financially.

This is not preparation. This is execution. This is not theory. This is command. The United States is not updating its dollar. It is abolishing the old model and asserting full-spectrum control over the next era of money.

You don’t spend $2.5 billion on symbolism. You build a fortress when you plan to wage — and win — a war. Monetary sovereignty is no longer a vision. It’s happening now, under your feet, behind silent walls, powered by orders already signed. And the world has no idea what’s coming.

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   FIREFLY:  Sammy was just here talking about how back when Shabibi was governor of the CBI he said when the inflation was around 2% and the note count was down and when the parallel market is close to 2% that was the excellent time for the rate change to happen.  FRANK:  I remember that well.  FIREFLY:  Inflation is at 1.5%. That's under 2% and we have a ton of folks now on the cards and the electronic system.  We  have less notes out there.  And the parallel market is around 4% to 5%...maybe within 3 weeks that gap will be at 2%.  FRANK:  I believe we are either at 2% or very close to it...Everything is in perfect condition for the new exchange rate.

Jeff  I want to bring forward some old information forward...I think this is very important...Shabibi is the founding father of this whole investment.  He was put in place by Bush Jr...One of the things he said clear back in 2011...Iraq should...reduce inflation to no more than 2%.  Right now their inflation is at 1.5% so that's in range. It says, reduce the note count.  They already have.  They've got most of the citizens into the banks to get them to transition to debit cards...Monitor the parallel rate.  That's the big one... 'Establish a close match between the parallel market rate and the CBI official rate of the dollar +/- 2%'.  Right now they are within 4% to 5%...It could hit within that 2% threshold...by the end of August.

Government Program And Economic Policies Revive The Dinar
 
Economic 07/28/2025  Baghdad: Anwar Ayed   In its third year of implementation,  the government program continues to make steady progress toward achieving its economic goals, despite the complex challenges posed by regional and international realities, particularly regarding the  threat of war,fluctuations in energy markets, and volatile global economic cycles.
 
However, national growth indicators remain evident across various infrastructure sectors,
supported by remarkable levels of economic stability, most notably the annual inflation rate remaining below the 3 percent mark.

Government Program And Economic Policies Revive The Dinar
 
Economic 07/28/2025  Baghdad: Anwar Ayed   In its third year of implementation,  the government program continues to make steady progress toward achieving its economic goals, despite the complex challenges posed by regional and international realities, particularly regarding the  threat of war,fluctuations in energy markets, and volatile global economic cycles.
 
However, national growth indicators remain evident across various infrastructure sectors,
supported by remarkable levels of economic stability, most notably the annual inflation rate remaining below the 3 percent mark.

This indicates the ability of economic policy to absorb shocks and  manage resources relatively efficiently.
 
qualitative transformations 
 
In this context, Dr. Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, the Prime Minister's financial advisor, told Al-Sabah that the parallel currency market has witnessed a qualitative transformation over the past period.
 
Previously, it was governed by "noisy patterns" that generated sudden price fluctuations.
 
Today, it has become more stable and is gradually being driven by the official market. 
 
Saleh attributes this shift to the effective coordination between fiscal, monetary, and trade policies,
     which contributed to the flow of accurate and well-thought-out information signals,
 
enabling the market to shift from a state of volatility and speculation  to a calmer trading environment more in line with the country's economic reality.
 
Integrated procedures 
 
Saleh adds that this positive shift is the result of a series of integrated measures that have contributed to narrowing the gap between the official and parallel dollar rates,  most notably the strict legal ban on dollar use in domestic transactions,  particularly in the real estate market,  which is one of the most sensitive sectors. 

He added,  "The transition to a mechanism for financing foreign trade through global correspondent banks, rather than relying exclusively on the central bank's window, has contributed to reducing compliance risks and decreasing reliance on the informal market."
 
Another factor that has contributed to enhanced market stability, the advisor said,is the entry of small importers into the official dollar financing network,  without the need for money exchange companies.
 
This has facilitated their access to foreign currency at direct official exchange rates,
especially since their trade represents approximately 60 percent of the private sector's foreign trade.
 
Administrative facilities 
 
Dr. Saleh points out that this transformation was achieved through administrative facilitation provided by the government and the reduction of bureaucratic loopholes  that previously hindered import financing and implementation.  

The financial advisor emphasized that the expanding use of electronic payment cards in foreign currency,  particularly among travelers, has been an additional factor in reducing pressure on the cash dollar,     given the availability of cash allocations at the official exchange rate   through banking outlets located throughout airports, and  with flexible and organized compliance mechanisms.

He pointed to the role played by cooperative societies, food baskets, and construction goods,  which are imported in dollars at the official exchange rate of 1,320 dinars,  in supporting the price stability policy.
 
This has enabled the government to use trade as a tool to achieve monetary stability, as part of an integrated strategy for economic policies in implementing the government program.
 
Fluctuations in the US economy
 
In contrast, financial and economic expert Dr. Safwan Qusay pointed out that the Iraqi dinar, despite its relative resilience,  remains vulnerable to the effects of global markets and fluctuations in the US economy. Speaking to Al-Sabah, he pointed out that the new customs restrictions imposed by the US administration on some imports have weakened exports from key countries such as China, Japan, the European Union, and Canada.
 
This has led to a relative decline in the value of the US dollar globally, which opens the way for the Federal Reserve to consider reducing interest rates, which could negatively impact the dollar's attractiveness as a reserve currency.
 
Qusay believes that the Iraqi market is often subsequently affected by these shifts, which may partly explain the recent decline in the dollar's price in the informal market, due to the potential entry of cash dollars into Iraq  via neighboring countries amid these changes.
 
strong bumpers
 
Qusay warns that the continued decline in the value of the dollar could pose future risks to the central bank's reserves, especially with an increasing number of countries  diversifying their reserves away from the US dollar and  resorting to gold or other currencies.

However, Qusay emphasized that  Iraq still possesses strong buffers that protect it from these risks,  most notably its massive dollar reserves at the central bank and its possession of more than 116 tons of gold,  which is also witnessing a rise in value globally. He also points out that current oil prices remain at levels sufficient to ensure the stability of the dinar in the long term. near.
 
Qusay believes that maintaining this stability requires the Central Bank to review its reserve anagement strategies and   ensure they are not affected by dollar fluctuations. He also believes that
 
it is necessary to accelerate steps to diversify the economy and  control revenues and expenditures  to avoid any potential repercussions of the dollar's decline on the value of the Iraqi dinar.     https://alsabaah.iq/118107-.html  

Trump & Crypto: Will Bitcoin's Success Translate To The Iraqi Dinar?
 
19th July 2025 in Investment, Iraq Banking & Finance News  By Guest Blogger. https://www.iraq-businessnews.com/custom-search/?searchtext=%22guest+blogger%22&swcfpc=1
 Any opinions expressed are those of the author(s), and do not necessarily reflect the views of Iraq Business News.
 
Trump's Policies and Cryptocurrency: Will Bitcoin's Success Translate to the Iraqi Dinar?
 
The relationship between political leadership and financial markets has rarely been as pronounced as it is today with cryptocurrency.
 
Since Donald Trump's return to the presidency in January 2025, Bitcoin has experienced remarkable gains, prompting investors to wonder whether this success might extend to other alternative investments like the Iraqi Dinar, where some people expect a significant dinar revaluation.
 
However, the fundamental differences between these assets reveal why Bitcoin's trajectory under Trump's administration is unlikely to be replicated by the Iraqi Dinar.
 
Bitcoin's Meteoric Rise Under Trump's Pro-Crypto Policies 
 
Bitcoin has demonstrated extraordinary performance since Trump's re-election, with the cryptocurrency surging approximately 60% since November 2024 and  reaching heights of $111,000. This dramatic increase can be attributed to several specific policy initiatives and strategic decisions by the Trump administration.
 
The foundation of Bitcoin's success lies in Trump's complete reversal from his previous skeptical stance toward cryptocurrency.
 
During his campaign, Trump promised to make America "the crypto capital of the planet," and his administration has delivered on this promise through concrete legislative and regulatory actions.
 
In March 2025, Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and   U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile,  signaling the federal government's commitment to cryptocurrency adoption.

The administration's approach has been systematically supportive of the cryptocurrency industry.

Congress recently passed the first major crypto legislation in U.S. history, providing regulatory clarity that has been long sought by the industry.
 
This regulatory framework has reduced uncertainty and encouraged institutional investment,
contributing to Bitcoin's price appreciation.
 
Trump's appointees reflect this pro-crypto stance, with one in five top administration picks holding cryptocurrency assets, some worth millions of dollars.
 
This alignment between policy and personal investment demonstrates the administration's genuine commitment to cryptocurrency adoption rather than mere political rhetoric.
 
The Iraqi Dinar: A Fundamentally Different Asset
 
The Iraqi Dinar operates in an entirely different economic and political ecosystem from Bitcoin.
 
While Bitcoin is a decentralized digital asset that responds to global market forces and regulatory changes, the Iraqi Dinar is a sovereign currency tied to Iraq's economic fundamentals and monetary policy decisions.
 
Current exchange rate data shows the Iraqi Dinar trading  at approximately 1,310 dinars per U.S. dollar as of July 2025, representing minimal fluctuation over the past year.
 
The International Monetary Fund projects an average exchange rate  of 1,300 dinars per dollar   for both 2025 and 2026,indicating expectations of stability rather than dramatic appreciation.
 
The Central Bank of Iraq has successfully transitioned to a new trade finance system managed by commercial banks, which has contributed to exchange rate stability.
 
However, this stability is precisely what differentiates the Dinar from Bitcoin
 
- the Iraqi currency is managed to maintain purchasing power rather than to serve as a speculative investment vehicle.
 


Why Trump's Crypto Policies Won't Impact the Dinar
 
Several fundamental factors explain why Trump's cryptocurrency-friendly policies cannot replicate Bitcoin's success with the Iraqi Dinar:
 
 Regulatory Jurisdiction: Trump's policies directly impact assets under U.S. regulatory authority.

Bitcoin, as a global digital asset traded on U.S. exchanges and held by U.S. institutions, falls within this sphere of influence.
 
The Iraqi Dinar, however, is governed by Iraq's Central Bank and monetary policy, which operates independently of U.S. cryptocurrency regulations.
 
 Asset Classification: Bitcoin is treated as a digital commodity and investment vehicle, making it responsive to regulatory changes that affect investor sentiment and institutional adoption.
 
The Iraqi Dinar functions as a national currency with exchange rates determined by economic fundamentals such as  oil revenues, trade balances, and  monetary policy decisions.

Market Dynamics: Bitcoin's price appreciation stems from increased institutional adoption,
 regulatory clarity, and  speculative investment driven by Trump's supportive policies.
 
The Iraqi Dinar's value is tied to Iraq's  economic performance, oil exports, and  regional stability 
-factors largely unrelated to U.S. cryptocurrency policy.
 
 Investment Infrastructure: The cryptocurrency ecosystem has developed  sophisticated trading platforms,  custody solutions, and  financial products that respond rapidly to policy changes.
 
The Iraqi Dinar lacks this infrastructure for speculative investment, with most transactions occurring through traditional foreign exchange channels focused on trade and remittances rather than investment.
 
Economic Realities and Market Projections
 
Financial forecasts for the Iraqi Dinar suggest continued stability rather than dramatic appreciation.
 
Market projections indicate potential slight depreciation, with the exchange rate possibly reaching around 1,318 IQD per USD by the end of 2025.
 
These projections reflect expectations of gradual economic adjustments rather than the explosive growth seen in Bitcoin.
 
Iraq's economy remains heavily dependent on oil revenues, which are calculated based on the exchange rate of 1,300 dinars to one dollar in the federal budget.
 
This dependency on  commodity prices and the  government's fiscal management creates a fundamentally different value proposition from Bitcoin's technology-driven and adoption-based appreciation.

The Broader Investment Landscape
 
The contrast between Bitcoin and the Iraqi Dinar illustrates a broader principle about how different asset classes respond to political and regulatory changes.
 
Bitcoin's success under Trump's administration demonstrates the  power of regulatory clarity and institutional support for emerging asset classes.
 
The cryptocurrency's  decentralized nature and  global trading infrastructure  make it particularly responsive to positive policy developments.
 
Traditional currencies,even those from developing economies, operate within established monetary systems designed for stability rather than speculation.
 
The Iraqi Dinar's role as a  medium of exchange and store of value for Iraq's economy necessitates careful management to prevent the volatility  that investors seek in alternative assets.
 
Conclusion
 
While Trump's pro-cryptocurrency policies have created a favorable environment for Bitcoin's remarkable performance, these same policies cannot produce similar results for the Iraqi Dinar.
 
The fundamental differences between a decentralized digital asset and a sovereign currency mean that
each responds to entirely different sets of economic and political factors.
 
Bitcoin's success under Trump's administration reflects the  power of regulatory support and institutional adoption in driving speculative asset prices.
 
The Iraqi Dinar's stability reflects the careful monetary management required to maintain a functioning national currency.
 
Investors considering whether Trump's policies might benefit the Iraqi Dinar should recognize that the two assets exist in fundamentally different economic ecosystems, with success metrics that are not only different but often contradictory.
 
The lesson for investors is clear: while political leadership can significantly impact certain asset classes,
the specific characteristics of each investment determine how it responds to policy changes.

Bitcoin's  technological foundation and  speculative nature  ake it responsive to regulatory developments, while the
 
Iraqi Dinar's role as a national currency requires it to prioritize stability over explosive growth.

Monday, July 28, 2025 14:38 | Economic Number of reads: 217  Baghdad / NINA / Economic expert, Manar Al-Obaidi, confirmed on Monday that the continuous decline in the dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar is due to ten main reasons, noting that these factors are intertwined, and their varying impact has collectively contributed to strengthening the dinar in the parallel market.

Economist: 10 Reasons Behind The Decline In The Dollar Exchange Rate Against The Iraqi Dinar

Monday, July 28, 2025 14:38 | Economic Number of reads: 217  Baghdad / NINA / Economic expert, Manar Al-Obaidi, confirmed on Monday that the continuous decline in the dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar is due to ten main reasons, noting that these factors are intertwined, and their varying impact has collectively contributed to strengthening the dinar in the parallel market.

Al-Obaidi explained in a post on his official Facebook page that the most prominent of these reasons are the state of "economic contraction and declining consumer confidence," the suspension of government investment expenditures, and the tightening of control over border crossings, in addition to traders' shift to official banking platforms, the decline in re-export operations, and the settlement of some foreign companies' dues in petroleum products instead of cash.

He pointed out that "preparations for the electoral process played a role in increasing the supply of the dollar after political blocs resorted to converting their cash reserves into dinars to finance their campaigns, while the increase in the number of foreign arrivals and the cessation of illegal trade with Syria contributed to increasing the availability of the dollar in the markets."

Al-Obaidi pointed out that: “The Central Bank’s withdrawal of a portion of the monetary supply in dinars created additional demand for the local currency, which led to a gradual decline in the dollar,” stressing that: “The arrangement of these reasons reflects the extent of each of their impact on the parallel market, without denying the existence of other undisclosed factors that may contribute to this decline.” /End   https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1243368

An Economic Expert Told NINA: Terminating The Iraq-Turkey Oil Pipeline Contract Poses Major Economic Challenges To Iraq.

Monday, July 28, 2025, 15:40 | Economic Number of reads: 242  Baghdad / NINA / Economic expert Raad Twaij considered the termination of the Iraq-Turkey oil pipeline contract a negative step for the Iraqi side, stressing the need for Iraq to be prepared to develop alternative routes to Turkey, at a lower cost.

Twaij said in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency ( NINA ): "The suspension of the pipeline transporting Iraqi oil through Turkish territory next year may coincide with new developments or new obligations that may be presented in any new agreement."

He explained that the Turkish strategic perspective is based on the fact that Turkey is a profitable country, and that the comparative advantage in exporting oil is for both Iraq and Turkey.

Therefore, Turkey is trying to obtain the maximum benefit from this pipeline by imposing higher tariffs for the arrival of oil to the Turkish port of Ceyhan, thus turning a historical page on this pipeline, which was marred by some obstacles in Kirkuk's production or the use of the pipeline by other parties, which Turkey considers an "unfavorable tariff."

The economic expert stressed that the Iraqi negotiator must prepare early for this issue and attempt to obtain a favorable transportation cost from the other side, which proposed increasing the fee per barrel to $2.50.

He also stressed the need to work on transporting as much as possible through the pipeline to reduce the cost of transporting each barrel, and to use an accompanying pipeline to transport gas from northern Iraq and export it to Europe via Turkey.

He also emphasized the need to take advantage of the new Turkish proposal to benefit from Turkish investment and propose a partnership in the field of petrochemicals and hydrocarbon production, linking it to the development path within the framework of a comprehensive agreement.

Ankara announced last week the termination of the oil pipeline agreements with Iraq, effective July 2026.

The decision, issued by presidential decree and published in the Turkish Official Gazette, could mark the beginning of a new phase in the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline, which for years has served as a vital artery for Iraqi oil exports to the Mediterranean.

This announcement raises major questions about its political and economic repercussions and poses serious challenges to Iraq in its search for strategic alternatives.

The Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline is one of Iraq's main oil export routes, transporting crude oil from oil fields in northern Iraq, particularly in the Kurdistan Region and Kirkuk, to the Turkish port of Ceyhan on the Mediterranean.

The original agreement between Iraq and Turkey was signed on August 27, 1973, and the pipeline became operational in 1977. Its goal was to enable Iraq to export its oil to global markets via the Mediterranean, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz. https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1243380

4 Simple Money Habits From Mark Cuban That Could Transform Your Life

4 Simple Money Habits From Mark Cuban That Could Transform Your Life

Peter Burns  Sat, July 26, 2025   GOBankingRates

For those trying to build wealth, Mark Cuban is a perfect example of how to get it done. From living in a shabby apartment with roommates to currently having a net worth of $6 billion, Cuban has made smart money moves that paid off big.

While some of the moves he made to get to where he is were complex, he used a lot of simple strategies as well. Here are four of Cuban’s most helpful money habits that can help you improve your finances.

Don’t Use Credit Cards

When asked about credit cards, Cuban has repeatedly said, “If you use your credit cards, you do not want to be rich.” It’s a valid point, as credit cards have left many in crippling debt. In 2024, the average consumer debt from credit cards was $6,730 per person. Adding a high interest rate to that amount each month can quickly derail any attempts you’re making to build wealth.

Cuban said the best way to invest is to pay off your credit cards and then cut them up. Currently, the average credit card interest rate is around 20%. As Cuban explained, if you pay off your credit card, you’ve just earned that amount of interest back instead of continuing to pay it.

Live Below Your Means

Even after Cuban had made millions, he was careful with his money. When he was just coming into his wealth, he read a book called “How to Retire by the Age of 35,” which told him to live like a student and save as much as he could. He then called his broker and told him to invest his money as if he were a 60-year-old, despite his young age. Cuban said he was worried that he would lose that money and wanted to live off of it for a long time.

Living below your means involves spending less than you earn. This will keep you out of debt and let you put more money toward your savings and investments. You can live below your means through careful planning and intentional spending.

Japan’s Inflation Crisis Could Trigger The Next Global Bond Meltdown

Daneila Cambone:  7-28-2025

This is a very difficult, fragile situation,” says Peter Boockvar, editor of The Boock Report and CIO of OnePoint BFG, reacting to the tense exchange between Donald Trump and Fed Chair Jerome Powell last week.

 “Beating down the Federal Reserve Governor is not going to get you what you want.”

In today’s interview with Daniela Cambone, Boockvar warns of rising global yields and why investors should “watch JGB yields every morning,” pointing to Japan as a key driver of long-term U.S. interest rates.

“There is an aversion to taking on too much duration in sovereign bond land... and that is a big deal.”

On gold, Boockvar explains why he expects another year of massive gold buying: “They are further diversifying their reserve holdings and want to own less dollars… Gold is now number two in that reserve pie.”

1929 Repeat as Credit Bubble Collapses

In a recent compelling episode of the ‘What the Finance’ (WTFinance) podcast, host Alfie Peppiatt featured renowned expert Alasdair Macleod, known for his incisive analysis of sound money, economics, geopolitics, and precious metals.

1929 Repeat as Credit Bubble Collapses

WTFinance:   7-28-2025

In a recent compelling episode of the ‘What the Finance’ (WTFinance) podcast, host Alfie Peppiatt featured renowned expert Alasdair Macleod, known for his incisive analysis of sound money, economics, geopolitics, and precious metals.

The discussion delivered a sobering assessment of the global financial landscape, drawing alarming parallels between today’s economic conditions and the precipice of the 1929 Great Depression.

Macleod meticulously detailed how a burgeoning credit and debt bubble is pushing economies worldwide towards an inevitable recession and a perilous debt trap.

At the heart of Macleod’s warning is the unprecedented scale of global government debt. He argues that escalating bond yields and the proliferation of tariffs are not merely symptoms but active drivers exacerbating fiscal stress, particularly within G7 nations which face widening deficits and shrinking tax bases.

 This precarious environment, he posits, poses grave risks to all financial assets, including equities and bonds, as the system struggles under the weight of its own liabilities.

Macleod underscored the profound fragility of the current financial system, which is intrinsically reliant on an ever-expanding credit base.

 He cautioned that a sustained rise in bond yields could trigger a swift and volatile collapse, a scenario for which central banks, he believes, possess no effective remedies. Their capacity to intervene is severely constrained by persistent inflation and the sheer magnitude of existing debt, leaving them caught between the impossible choices of high inflation or economic contraction.

The conversation also delved into the limitations of modern speculative assets. Macleod dismissed cryptocurrencies as fundamentally speculative, lacking the intrinsic qualities that define true money.

 In stark contrast, he championed physical gold and silver as “true, corporeal money” – assets with inherent value, free from counterparty risk, and historically proven as enduring stores of wealth, especially during times of financial turmoil.

Beyond the immediate economic indicators, Macleod’s analysis extended to the evolving geopolitical landscape. He highlighted the growing economic and political clout of nations like China and Russia, evidenced by their strategic initiatives such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and their systematic accumulation of commodities and gold.

This strategic foresight stands in stark contrast, he suggested, to what he perceives as significant economic policy mismanagement in Western nations, leaving them ill-prepared for the impending crisis. He also touched upon the political resistance to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) in the U.S. and their potential global implications, adding another layer of uncertainty to an already complex financial future.

Against this sobering backdrop, Macleod’s core advice for individuals and investors is unequivocal: “get out of credit.” He advocates safeguarding wealth by transitioning into real money – specifically physical gold and silver – and potentially considering resource-related equities.

He explicitly warns against chasing speculative assets or relying on government-backed credit instruments, urging vigilance and profound education on the inherent risks within our current monetary environment.

In essence, the WTFinance podcast episode, guided by Alasdair Macleod’s insights, paints a stark picture of a global economy teetering on the precipice. It’s a future shaped by unsustainable debt, credit fragility, profound geopolitical shifts, and pervasive monetary uncertainty.

His framework offers a critical lens through which to understand these challenges and provides actionable steps for wealth preservation amidst what he predicts will be unprecedented economic turbulence.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Monday Afternoon 7-28-25

Iraq Replaces The Dollar With Gold: A Yellow Shield Against Economic Storms. 

Today's Economy , | 1035  Baghdad Today – Baghdad  Economic expert Nasser Al-Kanani revealed on Monday (July 28, 2025) that  Iraq's position as the Arab country with the largest gold purchases represents  a strategic shift in  the Central Bank's approach to enhancing the country's financial stability.

Iraq Replaces The Dollar With Gold: A Yellow Shield Against Economic Storms. 

Today's Economy , | 1035  Baghdad Today – Baghdad  Economic expert Nasser Al-Kanani revealed on Monday (July 28, 2025) that  Iraq's position as the Arab country with the largest gold purchases represents  a strategic shift in  the Central Bank's approach to enhancing the country's financial stability. Al-Kanani told Baghdad Today,
 

"Iraq's purchase of more than 20 tons of gold in a single year, and its rise to seventh place globally in this field, reflects  a calculated move by the Central Bank  to protect the national economy from fluctuations in foreign currency prices,  especially the dollar."

He pointed out that "gold is considered one of the safest reserve instruments, as it is not affected by fluctuations in the monetary market,  unlike paper currencies.
 
This gives Iraq a strategic advantage in confronting sudden crises and  enhances confidence in its financial policies, both domestically and internationally." Al-Kanani explained that
 
"this trend will positively impact the value of the Iraqi dinar in the medium term.
 
It will also contribute to the stability of the local market and  reduce reliance on the dollar, giving the Central Bank greater flexibility in  managing monetary policy and achieving economic stability in light of current regional and global challenges."      https://baghdadtoday.news/279606-.html   

Trade: Expanding The Horizons Of Economic And Trade Cooperation Between Iraq And The United States Of America.

to hold the third round of negotiations for Iraq's accession to the World Trade Organization,  after a hiatus of more than 16 years.
 
He noted the  submission of goods and services files, a review of key economic and legislative reforms, including the  adoption of the Intellectual Property Law, and the  launch of the "Electronic Trader" platform as a step towards digital transformation.
 
Al-Ghariri explained that the  Ministry of Commerce is working to simplify the entry and operation procedures for American companies in Iraq,  pointing to the achievement of self-sufficiency in wheat production over the past two years, and the continuation of work on memoranda of understanding with the American side to meet the country's needs in a number of vital sectors.

The Minister  called on American companies to organize a "Made in America" exhibition in  Iraq and  proposed holding a joint forum between the Iraqi and American private sectors  to showcase investment opportunities and available projects.
 
He emphasized the importance of American companies' participation in the Baghdad International Fair.
 
For his part, Ambassador Fagin expressed his country's desire to expand bilateral cooperation,
praising the  ongoing economic reforms in Iraq and the  Ministry of Commerce's role in supporting the work of American companies and  providing an environment conducive to investment.
 
At the end of the meeting, the two sides agreed to enhance bilateral coordination and joint work  to expand the base of trade exchange, in a way that contributes to serving the common interests between the two friendly countries. /End 3     https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1243139
