-Gulf states to settle trades in other currencies.

October 12th, 2009 · No Comments

So, there has been a burning news in the media recently. Whether Gulf states would be using USD or not for Oil Trades going forward. This is a devastating news for USD and as you can see markets reacted almost immediately Gold shot up to 1050.00 USD/Oz. right away. Even though this is not going to happen over night and the most optimistic indications are that it would take at least 8-9 years to accomplish moving away from settling oil trades in USD. Anyway..here are all aspects of that discussion.

Here is that Article.

Dollar’s demise plotted by oil producers, China and France, report says

The world’s oil producers, as well as China and France, are planning to end using the dollar as the currency to buy and sell oil, the Independent newspaper reported.

The move would see oil priced not in dollars but in a unit based on a basket of currencies including the Chinese yuan, the Japanese yen, and a new currency intended for use by the Gulf emirates, according to a report in Tuesday’s Independent newspaper. The paper added that the transition from the dollar to a new currency will take almost a decade.

This is video coverage of that news and describes what it means.

As you also know right after the news broke out media started damage control and started to spit out information that previous news flash was false.

Gold futures hit fresh high in electronic trading

By Sarah Turner

LONDON (MarketWatch) — Gold futures hit a fresh record intraday high of $1,047.40 an ounce in electronic trading on Wednesday. Gold finished at a new record closing level on Tuesday, after hitting a record intraday high of $1,045 an ounce. The move for gold on Tuesday came as the dollar slumped on a report suggesting the end of dollar-based oil trading and as Australia hiked interest rates. The dollar lost ground against the euro, sterling and the Japanese yen on Wednesday.

You would think that’s enough…right ? wrong !!

New Discovery

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York archeologists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and  came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone  network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a
California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story in the LA Times read: “California  archaeologists, finding traces of  200 year old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had  an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.”

One week later, The Jersey Journal, a local newspaper in New Jersey, reported the following:
“After digging as deep as 30 feet  in his back yard , Jersey Joe, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing.

Joe has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, New Jersey had already gone wireless.”

Just  makes you proud to be from New Jersey.
