Dopo gli accordi tra Russia, Cina e Giappone che hanno deciso di scambiarsi buona parte delle merci nella loro valuta locale ora un accordo che potrebbe avere conseguenze devastanti sul dollaro: L'Iran e l'India si sono accordate poche ore fa per scambiare il petrolio con oro fisico, sembra che anche la Cina voglia fare lo stesso. Se e' cosi' il dollaro come valuta di riserva mondiale ha le ore contate e l'inflazione in USA ed Europa potrebbe esplodere.
L'embargo all'Iran si sta rivelando sempre piu' controproducente e sta isolando sempre piu' Stati Uniti ed Israele che vogliono attaccare uno Stato che non ha mai iniziato una guerra negli ultimi 600 anni.
In caso di inflazione molto alta i risparmi si deprezzerebbero sensibilmente e cosi' anche il valore reale degli immobili e dei bond, la borsa invece salira' ma soprattutto l'oro e l'argento raggiungeranno valori sensibilmente piu' alti.
Sanctions dodge: India to pay gold for Iran oil, China may follow
India has reportedly agreed to pay Tehran in gold for the oil it buys, in a move aimed at protecting Delhi from US-sanctions targeting countries who trade with Iran. China, another buyer of Iranian oil, may follow Delhi’s lead.
The report, by the Israeli-based news website DEBKAfile, states that Iran and India are negotiating backup alternatives with China and Russia, should the US and EU find a way to block the gold payment mechanism.
Delhi’s move is seen as surprising, as earlier India and Iran said they would switch to yen and rupees. China, another major importer of Iranian oil, may follow Delhi’s lead, the report adds.
India and China need to switch from the dollar in bilateral trade, since the US and EU have issued unilateral sanctions against the Iranian oil industry and financial institutions. The sanctions would ban any bank involved in oil trade with Iran from dealing with American and European counterparts.
Both India and China, two major buyers of Iranian oil accounting for 22 and 13 percent of its total export respectively, have refused to join such sanctions. This means they have to establish a reliable way of paying for crude, independently of the parts of the global financial system controlled by New York and London.
Delhi’s current plan is to effect payments through two state-owned banks, India’s UCO Bank and Turkey’s Halk Bankasi, Turkey being another country refusing to join the sanction spree.
The US issued sanctions against Iran in December, aiming to put pressure on the Islamic Republic and make its controversial nuclear program more transparent. The EU joined the initiative on Monday, banning new oil contracts with Iran, but allowing current ones to be fulfilled.
Australia on Tuesday became the latest country to voice plans for such an embargo, although the move would be more symbolic than practical, considering the country’s small share in Iran’s oil export.
Japan and South Korea, two other major buyers of Iranian crude, are in talks with Washington over the issue, although both Seoul and Tokyo are worried that stopping their imports could hurt their economies.
Iran, which is highly dependent on its sales of oil, is reacting to the sanction campaign nervously. Tehran says it will not yield to pressure, and threatens to block the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil tanker route in the Persian Gulf.
A presto
