Goldilocks’ Comments and Global Economic News Late Monday Evening 11-20-23

Good Evening ,

“There are three main routes that connect the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans: the Northeast Passage, the Northwest Passage, and the mostly unused Transpolar Sea Route.”

Are we rerouting the shipping trade industry? Who has the greater access to these pathways? Will the BRICS system create these new pathways into the sea? What will be the main trading currency/currencies that will lead the way?

80% of all trades and currency exchange rates happen on the sea.

Watch the water.

Local currency swaps are surfacing everywhere. Trading in local currencies in the Eastern half of our world and Asian countries are climbing.

These new trading venues will create demand and raise the values of these currencies.
