Iraqi DinaršŸ”„Eventually Reinstatement On ForexšŸ”„iraqi dinar RV updatešŸ”„iraq...

"RV UPDATE" BY PIMPY, 8 NOV

  Pimpy  

 One year report card...Al-Sudani and his cabinet...Given all the circumstances I would give Sudani definitely a B- .  To be honest I thought it was going to be a lot worse than this. 

 But like I said once the budget is passed we're going to start to see people's true colors.  The second year is going to tell us a whole lot about Al-Sudani.  Just when you think you got the right guy in there who seems to be getting everybody on the right path we have another election coming up again.  That's going to tell us everything we need to know...

I believe they're going to go up in increments as the dinar gets stronger especially next year when they're using solely the Iraqi dinar.  That's going to strengthen the dinar but there's always things that could change the way the dinar goes up in value.  Removing the sanctions would be huge..

Article: "The Baghdad dollar jumps to 168 after intense speculation on the stock exchanges"  So the exchange rate of the US dollar soared.  In other words that's the wrong direction.  

Quote:  "the selling price reached 1680 for every dollar."  What does this mean?  They need to change the exchange rate...At least go back to the original rate of 1190 dinar...

"RV UPDATE" BY MARKZ, 8 NOV

 MarkZ 

 The central bank of Iraq have decided to resume the sale of gold bars and coins starting from Wednesday Nov. 8th”.  ...they will be selling to private banks and the government. This is big imo…and shows more de-dollarization.  And shows a similar pattern to Zimbabwe…going back to gold to support the value of their currencies.

 Question:  Mark do you think the RV is waiting until January?   MarkZ:    I don’t think so.  So much is happening now…and all at once...Most of my sources believe things are moving at a wonderful pace this week.

Not a lot of RV news but, the overwhelming consensus is that they did their best to pull the trigger over Friday and Saturday. Their backup plan was Monday night or Tuesday....They feel very confident they will get this thing wrapped in the near future. There is a whole heck of a lot of expectations for the next 2 days

 Seems that things appear to be heating up…so many rumors.

Iraq’s Economic Landscape: A Dance with Oil, Gold, and Geopolitics, 8 NOV

Iraq’s Economic Landscape: A Dance with Oil, Gold, and Geopolitics

Oil prices have plunged to a three-month low, signaling turbulence in the commodities market. Coupled with this, the Central Bank of Iraq, after a six-month hiatus, has reignited its gold selling operations through an electronic platform dedicated to banks. The maneuvering in the precious metal market is noteworthy, with the price per ounce of gold surging to $1.9.

Fluctuating Markets: Oil and Gold

The economic landscape in Iraq is characterized by the volatility of oil and gold prices. The slump in oil prices coupled with the surge in gold prices underlines the instability in the commodities market. The reinstatement of gold selling by the Central Bank of Iraq suggests attempts to bolster the economy in the face of uncertainty. The escalation in gold prices in the wholesale and jewelry markets mirrors an increased demand, possibly serving as a safe-haven investment amid economic turmoil.

Economic Challenges: The Iraqi Dinar and Dollar Exchange

The volatility of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar, emphasized by the variable exchange rates, illuminates the economic hurdles facing Iraq. The uptick in dollar exchange rates may signal potential economic instability, influencing imports, exports, and overall purchasing power.

Geopolitical Tensions: Iraq and the United States

In the political sphere, the remarks from President Barzani concerning the bombardment of foreign troops in Iraq and the dialogues between Iraq and the United States on legal issues exhibit geopolitical strains that could sway economic policies. Moreover, the emphasis on enacting the oil and gas law and addressing revenue issues underlines the pivotal role of the energy sector in Iraq’s economic stability and the role of international players in shaping Iraq’s economic agenda.

Fighting Corruption: Technological Advancements

The focus on curbing money laundering and corruption through technological advancements accentuates Iraq’s endeavors to enhance governance and transparency – vital for nurturing an appealing investment environment and promoting economic growth.

On the whole, the economic and political developments in Iraq are entwined with the fluctuations in oil and gold markets, volatility in currency exchange rates, and initiatives to fight corruption and improve governance. Iraq’s economic stability is substantially influenced by international relations and the performance of key commodities on the global stage.
