While he reminds everyone this is his opinion and encourages consulting a professional before making financial decisions, the discussion highlights major potential shifts in global markets this week.

Disclaimer: Everything shared here is MarkZ’s opinion. For complete context, watch the full video and consult a financial professional before making decisions.

Currency and Bond Market Outlook

  • Most insiders expect activity to kick off Tuesday or Wednesday on the currency side.

  • Bonds may see a very interesting 48-hour period if insider information proves accurate.

  • Historical assets are reportedly being settled, which is encouraging for investors.

  • There are numerous indicators pointing to currency movement this week.

Featured Snippet Idea:
“MarkZ reports that currency activity may begin Tuesday or Wednesday, with bonds seeing significant movements over a 48-hour window.”

Basel III Compliance and Market Impacts

  • Basel III regulations are coming into effect this week. Banks must now be fully compliant.

  • This has implications for silver and gold markets, as many banks hold paper silver that is vulnerable to short positions.

  • Member reports suggest the global silver market is short by nearly 20 billion ounces, and Swiss banks may face compliance issues.

Implication: Precious metals like silver and gold could see substantial price movement due to regulatory pressures.

Precious Metals: Silver & Gold Updates

  • Silver recently hit $86.03, potentially linked to Basel III compliance pressures.

  • UBS predicts silver could enter triple digits, calling all short positions.

  • Gold is also being monitored as a potential hedge and asset-backed currency support if fiat currencies collapse.

  • Metal shortages and retail demand spikes, such as Costco selling out in 72 hours, indicate growing public awareness.

Featured Snippet Idea:
“Physical silver demand is rising sharply, and metals values may spike as the world faces shortages and Basel III regulations take effect.”

Global Financial Events and Political Developments

  • Davos Meetings: Trump is attending with significant influence expected; fireworks are anticipated.

  • Fed Investigation: Jerome Powell is under scrutiny for Federal Reserve renovation cost overruns.

  • Legislation & Court Updates: The Clarity Act is expected to be signed this week, with new SCOTUS opinions forthcoming.

Market Impact: These global and political events could influence currency valuation, asset markets, and investor sentiment.

Iraq-Specific Updates from MarkZ

  • A new customs system in Iraq may be implemented gradually to avoid market shocks.

  • The 2026 Iraqi budget includes a built-in mechanism for exchange rate adjustments, providing potential margins for revaluation.

  • Speculation: Once Sudani returns as Prime Minister, the Iraqi Dinar revaluation (RV) could be triggered.

Member Insights & Community Discussions

  • Members are excited, noting this week could be pivotal for currency, bond, and precious metals movements.

  • Discussions highlight optimism about RV timing, bond settlements, and market readiness.

  • Social sentiment suggests a heightened awareness of the global financial system, from Basel III compliance to physical metals demand.

Q&A: MarkZ Updates Explained

Q1: When might currency revaluation occur?
A: Insider expectations suggest Tuesday or Wednesday this week.

Q2: How do Basel III regulations affect markets?
A: They require banks to hold compliant assets, impacting paper silver positions and potentially increasing physical silver and gold demand.

Q3: What should investors watch for in metals?
A: Silver shortages, triple-digit predictions, and gold as a hedge against fiat currency collapse.

Q4: Could global politics impact the markets this week?
A: Yes. Davos meetings, Fed investigations, and legislative actions could influence investor sentiment and market movements.

Takeaways for Investors

  • Stay Informed: Follow trusted insiders like MarkZ for updates but verify information independently.

  • Monitor Metals: Silver and gold may experience volatility due to Basel III compliance and shortages.

  • Observe Currency & Bonds: Currency could move mid-week, and bonds might see rapid settlements.

  • Track Political & Global Events: Events in Iraq, the US, and global finance meetings could impact markets.

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Happy Monday Morning…..Hope everyone had a great weekend

Member: Anyone else feeling good about this week???

Member: Hearing this week the markets are in a meltdown, Basel 3. Banks have to be compliant as of today, no more paper shorts.

Member: Hopefully mark got a lot of bond updates over the weekend

MZ: No new rumors since Saturday but most still expect things to kick off Tuesday or Wednesday of this week on the currency side.  Bonds should see a very interesting 48 hours if what they were being told is accurate. Things seem to be coming to a head this week.

MZ: I did get confirmations from other bond holders that confirmed the same thing.  And more Historical assets are being settled I was told …..which is encouraging. Many things are pointing to currency breaking loose this week. 

Member: Silver hit $86.03 this morning 

Member: Part of the silver runup this AM may have to do with Basel III going into effect today.

Member: Swiss bank is short 2.1 billion ounces of silver this morning…Swiss banks in big trouble. 

Member: the world is nearly 20 billion ounces short of sold silver

Member: Heard that HSBC- London silver market has to exit all silver positions by Jan 31 or face fraud. Silver could be $347 by months end! Or higher!

MZ: UBS is saying silver could soon be in the triple digits. And calls all the shorts due. 

Member: as fun as it is to watch sliver i believe we need to watch gold. im researching shorts on gold too I think will be just as big as sliver

MZ: What they are showing is the implosion of fiat currency. I am surprised the markets aren’t more of a bloodbath this morning. 

Member: Charlie Ward says the banks have to be Basel 3 compliant today

MZ: When you look at Basel 3 Most banks hold paper silver as assets…..but they are not safe from physical silver shorts. 

Member: Costco sold out of all silver in 72 hrs. And the funny thing is, that Costco is like a meter for the middle class and for Costco to sell out of silver they know something coming. People are waking up

Member: Mark, so if we go to an asset baked (Gold & Silver) dollar what happens to the Gold & Silver Market?

MZ: Metals values will go way up and fiat currencies will go way down. There may be short period of uncertainty and things will suddenly become stabilized. At least that is what history has taught us 

Member: The big financial meetings in Davos are this week. Trump is going .

Member: Trump is taking the big guns with him to Davos and I don’t mean Powell

MZ: Look for fireworks from Trump at Davos. 

Member: Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is being investigated this week.  

MZ: Yes….this is interesting…it looks fishy as all get out.…...Powell had insane cost overruns in the Multi billions over the renovations of the Federal Reserve. You and I are paying for this renovation. It keeps going hundreds of millions over. Could there be actual fraud going on that needs to be investigated? 

Member: Follow the money. Scott Bessent is doing a good job at this so far.  

Member: I heard the clarity act was to be signed today

Member: More SCOTUS opinions coming out on Wednesday

Member: Frank26 had a good bank story on his video last night. The guy implied we will have seen the RV before the end of the month. 

Member: A guy on Frank26 said he had a bank story saying THEY made an appointment end of month because RV will have happened

Member:  on 1-9 (Fri) WG in Olathe Ks said they offer Premier Bankers and will verify foreign currency on site. Gave me their card and said call anytime.

MZ: In Iraq: “Economist: The new customs system needs a gradual approach to avoid system shocks” there is a lot of talk to slow it down instead of bringing it in all at once. (Sarcasm: They have been waiting 15 years but its just to sudden?) but, it will produce short term price fluctuations in the markets. So they may slow the roll put of implementation. 

MZ: “ Government Advisor: the 2026 budget is the first law to be raised to the parliament and the exchange rate at 130 thousand.” So that the 1300. Why is this important? Because they are giving us margins here and these margins can change. Remember they put in mechanisms for rate changes. So they put a mechanism in their budget if they revalue….and now they are giving us a spread as well.  So there is a built in mechanism for a rate change in the budget. Meanwhile they are protecting the people with built in rates. 

Member: I believe when Sudani is officially back as Prime Minister – I bet the RV will go

MZ: I would not at all be surprised. 

Member: This week looks to be huge!!!!!!

Member: Mark, this coming weekend is a 3-day weekend.

Member: Hoping this week things really happen!

SANDY INGRAM: Iraqi Dinar Investors: How Currency Reduction and Foreign Investment Are Shaping the IQD

 IQD Currency Update: Sandy Ingram Explains the Foundation

Sandy Ingram, a well-known voice in the Iraqi dinar community, recently highlighted key developments for IQD investors. According to her, reducing the number of dinars in circulation, as announced by the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), is a crucial step toward long-term currency strength.

  • Control Inflation: Fewer dinars in circulation helps maintain purchasing power.

  • Central Bank Discipline: Signals a serious commitment to monetary stability.

  • Future Valuation: Lays the foundation for potential currency revaluation over time.

Featured Snippet Idea:
“Reducing dinars in circulation helps control inflation, supports currency strength, and sets the stage for future valuation changes.”

Sandy emphasizes that this is not about instant gains, but about rebuilding the economic foundation quietly and effectively.

Iraq’s Economic Transformation Through Foreign Investment

Beyond currency control, foreign investment is another critical factor for IQD value. Iraq has seen over $100 billion poured into the country in just three years, transforming its economic landscape.

Key points include:

  • Investment Sectors: Power generation, smart grids, residential mega projects, and airport development.

  • Licensing: Dozens of major investment licenses approved, signaling strong economic growth.

  • Currency Impact: More foreign investment increases demand for IQD, which can drive higher currency value over time.

Featured Snippet Idea:
“Foreign investment in Iraq is a key driver for the Iraqi dinar’s future value, with billions invested in infrastructure and development projects.”

This combination of monetary discipline and foreign investment is quietly reshaping Iraq’s financial future, making it a crucial period for IQD investors to understand the long-term trajectory.

Q&A: Understanding the IQD Outlook

Q1: Will reducing dinars in circulation immediately increase the IQD value?
A: No. Currency adjustments take time as the economic foundation is strengthened.

Q2: How does foreign investment affect the dinar?
A: Increased foreign investment boosts demand for IQD, supporting potential long-term value growth.

Q3: What sectors are attracting the most foreign investment?
A: Power generation, smart grids, airport development, and large residential projects.

Q4: Why is this period important for investors?
A: Because both central bank discipline and foreign investment are creating conditions for future currency valuation changes.

Long-Term Takeaways for IQD Investors

  • Patience is Key: Currency value changes gradually as economic foundations improve.

  • Watch Investment Trends: Follow foreign investment approvals, as they signal future demand for IQD.

  • Central Bank Actions Matter: Policies reducing currency circulation are positive indicators for long-term stability.

Closing Thoughts

Sandy Ingram’s update reminds IQD investors that currency value changes are not instantaneous. Reducing circulation, maintaining central bank discipline, and attracting foreign investment are all building blocks for future growth. Patience, understanding, and monitoring economic developments are key strategies for anyone invested in the Iraqi dinar.

“The foundation is being quietly rebuilt, and this is exactly what long-term currency strength looks like.” – Sandy Ingram

Sandy Ingram 

 The bottom line for IQD investors is, reducing dinars in circulation [as the CBI announced they have done] helps control inflation, supports long-term currency strength, signals serious central bank discipline and lays groundwork for future valuation changes. 

 This doesn't mean instant gains but it moves Iraq in the right direction. Currency values doesn't change overnight.  It changes when the foundation is quietly being rebuilt.  That's exactly what's happening now.

Article:  "Iraq's investment Revolution: Over $100 billion poured into the country in just three years"   Why is this breaking news? 

 As IQD investors we understand foreign investment is one of the keys to the Iraqi dinar currency adjustments.  The more people seeking profits in the IQD, the higher the value of the currency can adjust...Dozens of major investment licenses have been approved from power generation and smart grids to residential mega project in airport development. Capital is now reshaping Iraq's economic landscape.

BRUCE: Dinar & Dong Redemption Update | Call Centers and Redemption Centers Confirmed

Dinar and Dong Redemption: Insider Confirmation

Bruce [via WiserNow] recently shared key updates regarding the Dinar and Dong revaluation process. According to his report, investors can expect high rates that will eventually settle to parity with the USN dollar—the new dollar standard.

One of the most important confirmations from Bruce is the existence of multiple call centers and redemption centers, a crucial piece of infrastructure that ensures the revaluation process will run smoothly.

Call Centers and Redemption Centers: What We Know

According to Bruce:

  • Six Call Centers: Five are located in the United States, and one in Canada.

  • Canadian 800 Number: Canada will have its own dedicated number for inquiries.

  • Connected Redemption Centers: These centers are fully linked with call centers, ensuring coordination.

  • Verified Locations: Bruce and his team know several of the locations and the leaders managing these centers.

Featured Snippet Idea:
“Bruce confirms that there are six call centers and multiple redemption centers in the US and Canada for Dinar and Dong revaluation.”

This verification is significant for investors, as it adds credibility to the infrastructure being prepared for the currency revaluation.

Why Redemption Centers Matter

Redemption centers are where investors will be able to exchange their currencies once the revaluation occurs. Bruce’s confirmation adds confidence because:

  1. Existence Verified: There is no doubt that these centers are real.

  2. Leadership Known: Teams are aware of several leaders running these centers.

  3. Operational Readiness: Locations are identified, and call centers are fully connected to provide support.

This ensures a smoother process when the revaluation begins, reducing confusion and increasing transparency.

High Rates and USN Dollar Parity

Bruce also emphasized that the high rates currently projected for Dinar and Dong are expected to eventually stabilize. The goal: bring these currencies in line with the  new USN dollar.

  • High initial rates may attract attention, but parity is the long-term target.

  • Investors should anticipate eventual stabilization after the revaluation process.

Tip for Featured Snippet:
“Dinar and Dong high rates will eventually settle to parity with the new USN dollar, according to Bruce [via WiserNow].”

Q&A: Bruce [via WiserNow] Update

Q1: How many call centers exist for the Dinar and Dong revaluation?
A: Six call centers, five in the US and one in Canada.

Q2: Are the redemption centers real?
A: Yes. Bruce confirms multiple redemption centers are operational and connected to call centers.

Q3: Who runs the redemption centers?
A: Bruce’s team knows several of the leaders managing these centers, ensuring credibility.

Q4: Will the high rates last forever?
A: No. High rates are expected initially but will eventually settle to parity with the new USN dollar.

What This Means for Investors

For those tracking the Dinar and Dong revaluation:

  • Confidence in Infrastructure: Verified call centers and redemption centers indicate readiness.

  • Stabilization Expected: High rates may be temporary; long-term parity with the USN dollar is the goal.

  • Monitoring is Key: Investors should stay alert to official announcements and updates from trusted sources.

Eventually, these high rates that we'll get on Dong and dinar...will settle down and be on par, meaning... on par with the USN dollar, the new dollar.

 I verified today that we have six call centers, five in the United States and one in Canada. And Canada will have their own 800 number...for their call center, and their redemption centers will be connected, just like ours will...Now to clarify – redemption centers are real...and we know a half dozen leaders...

Our team knows these guys that run the redemption centers...and we know the location  of some of the redemption centers...So is there any question in my mind...If there are call centers? None whatsoever.
