Riot on the ship? US allies lose confidence in the dollar

138
In the world there has been a tendency to reduce the volume of investments from a number of countries in US debt. Also noted and distrust of the United States as a "keeper" of foreign assets. Thus, Japan, which holds a stable second place in terms of investments in American debt (about 1 trillion dollars), only “threw off” more than 36,6 billion dollars in February. And since last fall, Tokyo decided to say goodbye to a total of $ 72 billion of US debt - that is, more than 7% of the total amount.

Riot on the ship? US allies lose confidence in the dollar




Recall that the main holder of US debt outside the United States remains China. It accounts for almost one fifth of all the volumes of public debt that are purchased by foreign countries. In total, China has US debt of about 1,1 trillion dollars. China is already considering the possibility of “exchanging” a part of US debt obligations for euros in connection with the American “fee-based” war against China.

As you know, a few days ago, Turkey decided to withdraw its gold reserves from the United States. It is almost 29 tons of gold.

Since 2016, Germany has been able to remove more than 120 tons of its gold reserves from the Fed’s vault. This is the part that the American authorities have returned, reluctantly, reluctantly.

And it would be fine China, but Japan, Turkey and Germany are positioned as allies of the United States (Germany and Turkey are together with the United States in NATO). Despite this, the authorities of these countries are trying to take measures to get away from the swallowing dependence on the influence of the financial American circles, which actually merged with political circles.

Портал “To lead. Economy" cites statistics, which suggests that several recent auctions in the world at once showed the worst results for the USA in terms of demand for US debt securities.

                  I was also amused by this news. He presented the picture - Macron gives Trump an oak (like with a hint - you are oak), and he gives him a piece of upholstery in the chair seat (like - you are a lining under my s * d * nitsa). And both disagree contented with the hints made. laughing

                    "And the dollar became the world currency after the Second World War" ////

                    The dollar became world currency in 1976. It is not connected with the Second World War. They just realized that in world trade, the gold equivalent is inconvenient for calculations. Already not the Middle Ages.
                    There were several world reserve currencies: since 1944 the pound and the dollar. Since 1976 - the dollar, the pound, the mark (germ) and the yen. Then the brand was replaced by the euro. Soon add yuan.
                    Perhaps in the future, the yuan will be more important than the dollar. But America will not collapse from this. And no return is expected to the gold equivalent.

                  America has survived well before the dollar era (since 1976), and will survive after the release, for example, of the renminbi in first place. South Korea, India come out on top in the global economy. Global reserve currencies will change places in importance in the future.

                    Emotions speak in you, in the form of Russophobia and the desire to spit Russia. Where is Russia lagging behind? In the exploration of near space? In nuclear technology? In the weapons systems that China buys in the export (trimmed) version? That the Chinese have overwhelmed the United States, the Russian Federation, the EU and Israel with consumer goods? So this is consumer goods. I’m not talking about the death of the United States, I’m talking about the death of the unipolar world, that system, that world order that did not appear in 1976, but after the collapse of the USSR. Let the United States live, but they cannot be a hegemon, and thanks not only to the Russian Federation, but also to China, India, Brazil, and even the EU. US military hegemony deflated in North Korea, Syria and Crimea. In terms of strategic forces, the Russian Federation is not inferior, but qualitatively superior. In terms of tactical nuclear weapons of the Russian Federation, it is simply the coolest of all combined. China is now trying to achieve parity with the United States for the fleet in the Asia-Pacific region. The USA can no longer force everyone. For oil, the United States, Canada, the Arabian kingdoms and the EU are already producing half of the world's oil, as opposed to the Russian Federation, Iran, Venezuela, etc. will soon be exceeded for more than half, and the main commodity in the world will no longer have a controlling block of production from the Anglo-Saxons . This is a fact and the situation approaches this. The dollar is precisely the petrodollar and is tied to futures trading on the London and New York stock exchanges, if there is no controlling interest in oil production, there will be no controlling interest and world currency. But Turks take gold for a reason, the Germans demand their gold for a reason, the Chinese are trying to exchange American candy wrappers for gold for a reason, the Russian Federation has changed candy wrappers for gold for a reason. This is preparing for reform of the global financial system, and there is no way to stop it by military means. Israel is why it behaves nervously in Syria, but Benya understands everything that this is the beginning of the end. Egypt, Iran and Turkey acquire serious weapons and nothing can be done. The Arab Spring and the coup in Turkey failed.

        We are tormented by reeling. No matter how Ukraine joins NATO, Parashenko is directly declaring this. Yes, it will be great if they succeed in driving Turkey out of NATO, but Germany and Japan will never leave NATO, they simply will not allow it. Up to political killings. Yes, you yourself see, in the territory of these countries there are a lot of American bases with personnel. These countries have neither their own air defense, nor nuclear weapons, nor a normal fleet, nor missile weapons, etc. The military does not even allow technology to develop under any pretext.

          No matter how Ukraine joins NATO, Parashenko is directly declaring this.

          He can say anything, but as long as there is a territorial or armed conflict on the territory of the state, the road to NATO is closed to him. An example of Georgia and South Ossetia. Now think about whether the sluggish conflict in the Donbass is beneficial for Russia from the point of view of Ukraine’s membership in NATO?

              Then the question is, why is Georgia not a member of NATO, Moldova? They were part of GUAM, a kind of forerunner of the military-political bloc, and Ukraine, in addition to signing on the agreement on Euro-association, has not received anything yet and, I suspect, will not receive it. So still there is something that does not allow these countries to join NATO, the EU in one step?

                Moldova I don’t know for sure, but it seems to me that the Pro-Russian Party of Socialists has always been strong there, who look at the problems and benefits of the country from a slightly different angle. And in general, Moldova was not able to drag Moldova into the European Union for the same reasons. With Georgia a little easier, it does not carry strategic importance. It is pointless to deploy missile defense radars there, our missiles do not fly there, the Fleet is also not possible to deploy, there is no infrastructure for basing. and the ports are small, that Poti, that Batumi there a serious ship does not fit not to mention a few. Also, the absence of normal airfields played an important role.
                Although not so simple. We do not know the whole truth, what kind of agreements exist between the governments of the USA and Russia, it is unlikely that we will ever know about it.
                And as for the problem of regional conflicts for NATO countries, remember Yugoslavia, how many countries from its former territorial composition are now in NATO? And somehow it did not stop them. hi

For example, the same sanctions against the Russian Federation, which hit Europeans very painfully, are beneficial for the United States. Gas pipelines also come from across the ocean, which is not at all profitable for Europe, in particular Germany.

                that is, the enterprise itself will continue to work.
                moreover, RusAl may also get out, as it turns out to have its own enterprises that are closely connected with Western companies. and because of the sanctions, already the western aluminum enterprises cannot work normally, because part of the processing went on at these RusAl enterprises themselves. in Ireland, there has already been talk about what RusAl’s offices should be removed from under sanctions.

            I said this in the comments the day after the announcement of the sanctions to Rusal. So my forecast is starting to come true. True, I predicted that the state would redeem a controlling stake in Rusal to establish state control over the production and sale of strategic metal, but if they go for privatization, well. The guarantor said that the results of privatization will not be reviewed, but if the bourgeois SAM sells its enterprises, the state has nothing to do with it. Himself, all by myself.

        "This is a worthy response to the sanctions ... the Russian Federation is also withdrawing its dollar reserves by placing them in euros ... let's see what the trend will be during the year."
        I am not an economist. Therefore, I have a question: why should I place my stocks in euros? Isn't it better to place in your reserves? Or do we not trust ourselves? True, looking at our economists, I would be careful too.

          Have you heard about storing eggs in different baskets? The principle is the same. If we place, say, all reserves in rubles, then there is a great danger that the ruble will collapse and all our money acquired through overwork will turn into paper.

              And what are we doing? The last 7 years of the Russian Federation on annual annual purchases of actual gold come first. I came across a procurement table and a comparative analysis with the procurement of developed economies, but now there is no desire to look for them.

                  Observers note significant purchases of gold by the Central Bank of Russia: compared with 2005, the gold reserve was tripled, and in the spring of 2015 amounted to 1238 tons. This behavior is an exception in the global gold market. According to the British weekly The Economist, the purchase of gold by Russia, regardless of price fluctuations, is caused not by the objective investment attractiveness of this asset, but by the distrust of the Russian leadership in the US dollar

                  The gold reserve is the country's airbag. In the event of a crisis or a lack of foreign exchange reserves, gold can always be sold or pledged.

          The answer is simple: the Japanese yen is provided with goods that are in Japan.
          Now a logical question: What should the Russian ruble be provided for? The answer is obvious.

          The situation fundamentally (for us) can change only in one case: the world market will accept the Russian ruble as a means of settlement. Everything else is a replacement. But, when the country of hardened shopkeepers with a history dating back less than 300-years influences the world economy with the help of such a leverage (in the form of an international means for settlements), a culture whose standard is considered to be M. Jackson, manners of a "white man", but simply an overgrown bandyugan - somehow I feel uneasy. Let the Chinese be better (I hope the antiquity of civilization and culture can not be doubted?): Although it is not advisable to give them such a trump card, but at least these are our neighbors, military conflicts with which can be counted on the fingers and the number of dead for several centuries over the same centuries, much less than in the Chechen war alone (if you tell me that the Chinese fanned it and paid for it, I won’t believe it). The euro is even better: there is a united union, in it each participant will "pull the blanket over himself", thereby not gaining a visible advantage. For example, about the history, culture of Germany and France, it’s not necessary to mention, I hope? Well, the best option (in my opinion): when not one, two countries get an advantage, but there is something that, under a general agreement, is a value with undeniable authority. Gold? Still not invented analogue of the euro? Bitcoins? I don’t know, but definitely need to move away from the dollar.

      And where does treasurer, the dollar and "getting rid of the American currency"? Everything is exactly the opposite: countries needed dollars and they sold treasuries, which have a convenient maturity instead of borrowing or repaid a loan taken for a government transaction by selling treasuries. Gold has not provided the dollar for a long time; it is provided by AUG. Physical gold was placed in American banks as collateral for interbank transactions at the time of entry into Breton-Woodon. Now there is no need for such support — its role is played by highly liquid “papers” —the same treasuries or gold futures, on the edge. Therefore, it does not make sense to keep physical gold in a foreign bank, because for its content there you have to .... pay. What do you think, Americans kept him there for free? Those who kept him there also paid for him. Now they’ve taken it away and you don’t have to pay, saving everything. wink

      Turkey decided to withdraw its gold reserves from the United States. This is almost 29 tons of gold.

      Erdogan also rebelled))) Well, this one with Amer military bases more or less succeeds)))

      100 thousand people are, including, in Finland, and in Nigeria, and Ukraine, and in Ireland, and in Australia, and in Guinea, and in Guyana, and even in China. The number of employees in Russia was announced by our government - 60 thousand people.
      I won’t even ask you to show these voiced numbers. And so I know how it will end.

      Is it weak? Absolutely open sites - you used one of them to voice the figure of 100 thousand people working. Now look at which factories are smelting aluminum, which are producing foil (by the way - I forgot to mention Armenia, the Armenal plant is also included here), which enterprises are producing bauxite, and which are using alumina. Moreover - all over the planet. And all this is Rusal. Look - and you will be happy! You will not find it - I will slowly salt the list of enterprises to you - but you yourself have to work! bully Naturally, only the Russian part will suffer from the sanctions, where 60 thousand people mentioned recently by Medvedev work - it is very easy to deploy foreign production from Russia to any other country abroad.

      The US has nothing to fear. They have Russia with Nabiullina, Kudrin, Siluanov, Oreshkin, and so on and so forth. Other .... All losses will be more than covered. The people of Russia are very kind, patient and probably surprisingly rich ...

      Well, China is investing its bucks in real assets.
      In the construction of transport infrastructure, for example.
      And we buy gold for bucks.

        The fact of the matter is that real assets are not sold just like that. The Chinese are trying to get the accumulated American candy wrappers into Africa, Latin America, Belarus, etc. But it’s not so simple either, they gave a dollar loan or worse to American bonds to Belarusians, and if these bonds depreciated or the dollar ceases to exist, then the same Belarusians shrug their hands. The Chinese tried to buy gold, and they sold dyed tungsten. You can’t get rid of these American papers just like that. Gold is a valuable rare-earth metal with unique properties and uncut paper. A third of our reserves are in gold and the share is growing, they are turned off from the circulation of securities, but they will not disappear. There are no fewer construction projects in the Russian Federation, but more per capita. There are megaprojects, rebuilt Sochi, Vladik, build the Crimea. The Polar North is a megaproject. We are building a spaceport - this is a megaproject. Nuclear submarines are a megaproject. Food safety is a megaproject, import substitution is a megaproject. The Chinese, because of hopelessness, set up empty cities that are safely abandoned and destroyed, these cities are an attempt to maintain the pace of the economy during the crisis, and people did not go to these cities. Not everything is going smoothly there, even the king had to be elected.
