Tishwash: Deputy expects the dollar to decline within a few days
The representative of the State of Law coalition, Arif Al-Hamami, expected today, Friday, that the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Iraqi dinar will decrease during the next few days.
Yesterday, Thursday, the dollar prices were recorded at the Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya stock exchanges, 160,400 dinars for 100 dollars, according to Shafaq News Agency correspondent, while the selling price in the exchange shops in the local markets in Baghdad reached 161,500 Iraqi dinars, while the purchase amounted to 159,500 dinars for every 100 dollars.
As for Erbil, the selling price of the dollar in banking shops was 160,400 dinars, compared to 100 dollars, and the purchase price was 160,300 dinars, compared to 100 dollars.
Al-Hamami said in an interview with Shafaq News Agency, “The State of Law bloc seeks in all ways and urges the government to take the necessary measures to reduce the exchange rate of the dollar, because of its direct impact on the people, especially the poor and middle classes.”
Al-Hamami confirmed that “there are ongoing communications with the government, the Central Bank, the Prime Minister’s Office, and the Parliamentary Finance Committee in this regard.”
He added, “Government measures are continuing to reduce the dollar, including preventing smuggling outlets and opening outlets to sell the dollar at airports, but there are external circumstances that put pressure on the government, and the global situation also has an impact on the status of the dollar in Iraq.”
He explained, “Previously, the dollar rose more than the current price and then fell again, so we hope that the dollar exchange rate will decrease during the next few days.” link

Warning: The Stock Market Crash Is Coming…
Atlantis Report: 10-13-2023
The Alarms are going off in the stock market. There are echoes of the 1987 Crash. The one that sent shockwaves through to all financial markets.
As the Black Monday unfolded, the Prices Skyrocketed, fortunes evaporated, and panic gripped the investors. We’re now seeing unprecedented parallels with the previous crash with similar challenges coming our way.
It includes a high market volatility with rapid price fluctuations and uncertainty.
The price swings are becoming bigger and more frequent. The frequency of intraday swings of the S and P 500 has been extremely elevated. We are also seeing an unparalleled volatility in Treasury bond markets in October 2023.
The share market’s strength in the current year despite the slowing effects of higher interest rates is a combination that feels awfully similar to the Black Monday.
So, Will history repeat itself? Well, It’s a question that lingers, a specter that refuses to be ignored.
