Goldilocks’ Comments and Global Economic News Wednesday Afternoon 11-22-23

Good Afternoon ,

On November the 15th, 2023, the London Clearing House launched on it’s Forex Clear System the market’s first Forex smart clearing service.

A smart contract looks at both sides of a trade to clear the transaction based on the terms of a contract between them through artificial intelligence. It is designed to reduce the amount of Capital Requirements needed in an Exchange. This minimizes counterparty risk between the two parties and allows a trade to move forward on the London Clearing House platform.

The LCH clears a broad range of asset classes including foreign currency exchange protocols.

The London Clearing House is the largest Global supplier of clearing services for the derivatives Market.

Iraq is beginning to sell US dollars to investors coming into Iraq for trade.

This is done to devalue another country’s currency while maintaining principal value in Iraq’s own currency. It looks like the de-dollarization process has begun for Iraq inside trading platforms.

As the dollar depreciates inside Iraq, it will give Iraq the opportunity to appreciate (raise in value) its own national currency.

Watch the water.

So far, we have seen country after country begin the process of De-dollarization. Clearly, there is a war on the dollar taking place, but the final battles will be in the digital space.

The move toward a Central Bank Digital Currency has already began in the narratives spoken by some of the highest leaders in our financial fields.

We all know that a retail Central Bank Digital Currency would bring about total control over the finances of the people. This is why the final battleground will take place in a place where both fear and faith will come into play.

The choices we make during this final battle will determine the course of history. It is currently being written. I truly hope everyone is paying attention.
