COFFEE WITH MARKZ: Iraq Political Shifts, Gold Market Reforms & RV Timing Signals

 Introduction: Another Critical Week in the RV Journey

As the global financial landscape continues to shift, Iraq’s political developments, gold market reforms, and bond-related rumors remain at the center of attention for those watching the Iraqi Dinar revaluation (RV).

In today’s MarkZ discussion, community members shared optimism, frustration, humor, and faith—reflecting the emotional rollercoaster that has defined this journey for years.

From Maliki’s declining influence to gold-backed currency education, and from bond silence to January timing rumors, this update captures the pulse of where things stand now.


Iraq Political Developments: Power Shifts Behind the Scenes

Maliki Losing Ground

MarkZ highlighted increasing instability surrounding former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, stating:

“Maliki is slipping. Pay attention because Abadi is also opposed.”

Maliki is reportedly struggling to gain the political support necessary to regain the Prime Minister position. This internal resistance suggests a continued reshaping of Iraq’s leadership, which many believe is necessary before any meaningful currency reform can occur.

Questions Still Unanswered

Community members raised critical issues still unresolved in Iraq:

  • Who is Savaya meeting with today?

  • Has there been progress in selecting the President’s seat?

  • Any confirmed advancement on the Hydrocarbon Law (HCL)?

  • Have the militias disarmed as required?

These remain key benchmarks frequently associated with RV readiness.


Gold Market Reforms: A Strategic Signal?

One of the most significant updates came from Al Sudani’s advisor Saleh, who outlined six measures to end manipulation in Iraq’s gold market.

Why Gold Matters

MarkZ believes this is not accidental:

“People are using gold as a store of wealth. I believe they are educating the people towards a gold backing for their currency.”

This aligns with long-standing speculation that Iraq may be preparing its population for a more asset-backed or value-supported currency system, increasing public trust and stability.


Bond Market Update: Silence… For Now

On the bond side, MarkZ reported:

  • No updates today

  • Banking holiday (MLK Day)

  • Waiting on confirmation from contacts regarding a release promised last week

Despite the quiet, many believe bond holders and currency holders will move simultaneously , often described as “shotgun timing.”


RV Timing Speculation: January Signals Everywhere

Several rumors and reports surfaced during the discussion:

  • Bank contacts in Southern California allegedly expect rates to appear before January 30

  • One individual was reportedly scheduled to exchange on January 30

  • January 20 is rumored to be a “big day”

  • New tax bracketsBasel III, and credit card caps were mentioned

  • Trump’s upcoming appearance at Davos sparked speculation

MarkZ confirmed:

“I am hearing the 20th is supposed to be a big day as well.”

As always, these remain unverified and should be treated cautiously.


Community Sentiment: Faith, Fatigue & Hope

The emotional tone of the community was mixed:

  • “Feels like Groundhog Day… or Gilligan’s Island.”

  • “This is quite a movie we are watching… looking forward to the end credits.”

  • “We were told things would get crazy at the end.”

Despite fatigue, faith and unity remain strong, with members encouraging prayer, patience, and mutual support.
