EXCERPTS FROM MARKZ
MZ: Is there a lot of chatter and anticipation about this weekend? Yes. There is lovely chatter from Iraq and a couple of groups. Just the bond side is eerily quiet.
Member: If I signed an NDA- I would be quiet as well…so that is understandable.
MZ: That is exactly what I think is happening. I have had a contact or two tell e they cannot talk- they have an NDA. So maybe there is more movement there then is obvious to us.
Member: Silence everywhere. This could be a good thing!!
MZ:: There are tons of rumors for this weekend. I do not know if they are accurate or not. It is clearly within a window and there is a lot of excitement. We will see what the weekend brings.
Member: I wonder -are the redemption centers working the weekend?
MZ: My banking crew have a “heightened alert “ for this weekend. I am hoping this means something, but we have seen this before. So stay hopeful but calm.
Member: There is a buzz now…..I can feel it in the air.
MZ: The anticipation is palatable…all around the world….people know something is about to happen. We can feel it.
Member: If Sudani said it will be done this year…..we have a 3 ½ month window.
MZ: He said it would be done in this term…this year they would raise the value and give purchasing power to all Iraqis with the dinar.
