Information / Baghdad.
The Sadiqoun parliamentary bloc announced on Saturday its full support for Prime Minister Mohamed Shia al-Sudani's steps to end the foreign presence in the country and achieve national autonomy.
MP Rafiq Hashem told Al-Maalouma that "the removal of foreign forces, led by the Americans, from Iraq is the best response to the US terrorist attacks against the headquarters of the Popular Mobilization."
He added that "the US foreign presence has become a threat to the security of Iraq," noting that "the stay of these forces for a longer period is an obstacle to national autonomy."
He stressed that "the steps of the Prime Minister to end the foreign presence and achieve full national autonomy is a step in the right direction," noting that "the Iraqi people do not want these forces to remain under any title."
Most Iraqi political forces have issued their support to the prime minister on steps to remove US forces from Iraq after a series of attacks against Iraqi security forces.

Freight rates for ocean cargo have soared after an attempted attack on Wednesday and a bid to hijack a Maersk ship last Sunday forced shipping companies to suspend plans to restart transits through the Red Sea.

“Interest rate differentials are an important factor in the global economy. They can affect the flow of capital between countries, the value of currencies, and the profitability of investments.”
An interest rate differential is basically two different interest rates in two different countries or currencies. At this point, we are witnessing several different ones across the globe.
These interest rate differentials affect values and exchange rates in trade. It is creating a problem for hedge funders wanting to make clear trade bids on the Forex Markets based on a value they can profit from in the trade.
Uncertain interest rates is beginning to create a level of uncertainty for hedge funders attempting to position themselves for profit on the Forex Currency Market in Cross Border International Trading.
Uncertainty in the market creates pullbacks from investors that bring down the flow of money creating less demand and value for currencies utilized in trades.
A great example of this is the use of the dollar in oil trades being replaced by local currencies in the East. As these new volumes increase because of interest rate differentials, countries holding more value over time will be the ones utilized in trades going forward.
These new demands will increase value over time on chosen currencies with lower interest rates resulting in more value in the exchange of goods and services. Look for currency interventions this year to begin the process of leveling off the playing field through narrowing interest rate differentials.

Look for currency interventions to begin this year when interest rates around the world begin to move on par with one another.

"IRAQ BOOTS ON THE GROUND REPORT" BY FIREFLY,7 JAN
Frank26
[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]
FIREFLY: CBI on news saying they have taken measures and decisions on supporting the dinar and maintaining its value against other currencies in the world talking about how CBI fully supports and back dinar and how it will be holding its own against other currencies. Saying this will positively affect the exchange rate.
FRANK: I am excited that they are giving you deeper information about the monetary reform and how it’s going to add value to your currency and I love how they keep saying in the coming days let’s see what happens around 15 January.
FIREFLY: Financial expert on TV saying there will be changes to the value to the Iraqi dinar after the new year.
FRANK: The CBI, without any fear, without pulling any punches back, they flat out tell you the beginning for next year your currency will have value added to it. Of course, because you won't be able to use any other currency in your country.
Therefore the sanctioned, punished program, used toilet paper rate of your 3-zero notes is going away...You are about to be a powerful linchpin in the financial theater of this world. Iraq is about to change as quickly as darkness turns into light. Get ready, you are about to walk with elegance and grace once again.
FIREFLY: The television is talking about how Iraq and a basket of currencies will help to reduce the dollar rate. They are already talking about the yuan and rupee... The government is saying we aspire to end the parallel market dollar in the coming days.
FIREFLY: We have a special on TV and they say the Iraqi dinar wins the struggle against the dollar and wins control of the markets…
FRANK: The goal of the last few weeks has been to bring the market rate parallel with the dollar rate. Remember the CBI can’t touch the dollar value but they can touch the value of your currency of the dinar… They have been victorious of reducing the value of their enemy foreign currency like the American dollar and all foreign currency in your country verses your national currency which is at 1310 right now. But that rate is now in a position to change because of all the success of the monetary reform from the CBI and Sudani. That’s all there is to it.
The black market rate will no longer be…The black market rate is the American dollar. The CBI wants the official rate 1310 to match the dollar rate. That means the currency of Iraq is too low… Slowly we’re having a reciprocal effect where the dollar is going down and the dinar is going up…
Question:
“Can any country RV their currency whenever they want?”
Yeah but they have to go through the IMF. That’s what the International Monetary Fund does – they regulate all the banks around the world and allow them to either increase, decrease, print new currency, destroy their currency, change their exchange rate. There is a systematic way of doing it. They’re called international banking laws.
