Oil Rises After A Week Of Intense Sales Due To Supply And Demand Concerns, 19 NOV

 Oil Rises After A Week Of Intense Sales Due To Supply And Demand Concerns

Saturday 18, November 2023 08:41 | Economical Number of readings: 273  Baghdad / NINA / The price of Brent crude oil, the global standard, remained below $80 per barrel, a day after it fell 5% to the lowest level in 4 months due to increasing fears of escalating supplies from outside the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and slowing demand.

By yesterday evening, Friday, Brent crude futures rose $1.34, or about 1.7%, to $78.76 per barrel, and US West Texas Intermediate crude rose to $74.1, an increase of $1.2, or about 1.7% as well.

The two benchmarks lost about one-sixth of their value over the past four weeks, and prices are heading towards recording a fourth week of losses.

“Oil prices have fallen slightly this year, although demand has exceeded our optimistic expectations,” Goldman Sachs analysts said in a note.

They added, "OPEC's non-essential supplies were much stronger than expected, and partially offset the OPEC cut."

The reason for the decline in oil this week was mainly due to the sharp rise in US crude inventories and the continuation of production at record levels, and the shrinking demand in China also raised concerns./ End   https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1090476

"RV UPDATE" BY CLARE & PIMPY, 18 NOV

  Article:  "Private banks and exchange companies express their preparations to reduce the exchange rate"  Quote: "Private banks and exchange companies are showing great preparations, collectively and in coordination, to reduce the price of the dollar”

 Pimpy   

It's a tug-of-war for you to find that sweet spot when it comes to currency exchanges.  Right now I believe the Iraqi dinar is way too low, It's too cheap.  Iraq is starting to get get back on track.  If they're going to start doing trade with  other countries they're going to need a stronger Iraqi dinar...

What would really be a super huge lift and bring a ton of value to the Iraq dinar is if they get away from the greenbacks and start using their own currency to do transactions for the oil.  That would be huge. 

US Envoy Mediates Crisis Over Iraq Speaker's Removal, 18 NOV

US Envoy Mediates Crisis Over Iraq Speaker's Removal

ERBIL — US Ambassador to Iraq Alina Romanowski is mediating between conflicting parties to address the ongoing issue involving Parliament Speaker Mohammed al-Halbusi, a leading Arab newspaper reported.

The diplomat held discussions with Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council Chairman Fayeq Zeidan over recent developments and the country's security situation, emphasizing the significance of an independent court adhering to legal procedures and the Iraqi constitution.

Romanowski acknowledged her meeting with Halbousi, referring to him as the "speaker of the House of Representatives" in a recent tweet. The diplomat is reportedly engaged in a series of political meetings to tackle the crisis triggered by the Federal Court's decision to remove Halbousi from parliament.

Anonymous sources within the Iraqi parliament revealed that Romanowski has proposed a resolution to the issue, considering the removal of Halbousi as an urgent decision not grounded in the constitution. The US ambassador aims to act as a mediator between Iraq's political factions to address the matter, deeming it potentially perilous for the country's stability.

Iraqi political analyst Mujahid Tai highlighted on social media that there are numerous parties challenging the Federal Court's decision on Halbousi. He expressed the view that maintaining the existing political balance in Iraq is more challenging than upholding the court's ruling.

On the other hand, Halbousi’s opponent, Bassem Khashan, criticized the US ambassador, asserting that she favors retaining Halbousi as the speaker of the Iraqi parliament. Khashan accused her of supporting someone accused of “fraudulent” activities.

Amid these political tensions, concerns have risen about the potential impact on Iraq and the region. The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) recently commented on the matter and emphasized the need for a careful assessment of the situation, calling for responsible steps to align with the constitution, coalition agreements, and the federal government agenda. The party stressed the importance of returning to principles that promote partnership, consensus, and balance for the stability and unity of Iraq.
