Last night I had the pleasure of chatting with my friend Alex Krainer, and the brilliant Tom Luongo, hosted by Rich on his podcast.
Our conversation delved into the geopolitical implications of recent events in the Middle East, including the presence of the head of the Russian central bank in the region. We discussed the potential establishment of a new financial architecture and the rejection of the US dollar for oil trade. The historical context of the Yom Kippur War was presented, along with Russia's strategy in the Middle East. We also touched on the impact of oil price manipulation on inflation and interest rates, as well as intentions behind the Israel-Gaza conflict. We concluded with the murky nature of American politics, and a bit of climate agenda. Hope you get value out of our discussion.
My takeaways:
The presence of the head of the Russian central bank in the Middle East suggests the establishment of a new financial architecture.
The rejection of the US dollar for oil trade by the UAE indicates a shift away from the traditional financial system.
Russia's strategy in the Middle East has positioned it as a key player in the region.
The manipulation of oil prices can have significant implications for inflation and interest rates.
The Israel-Gaza conflict is part of a larger geopolitical picture with potential consequences for the region and beyond.
American politics is complex, with various factions vying for power and influence. The political landscape is often characterized by unpalatable choices and a lack of viable options.
European politics is facing challenges, with countries like Spain, Poland and Germany experiencing political fractures.
Qatar plays a significant role in funding terrorism and influencing political agendas.
The financial markets and monetary policy have a significant impact on corruption and political control.
The year ahead is expected to see major changes in the political and financial landscape, with collateral and oil playing crucial roles.
