Badrabbit Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 IMHO: I think the less the oil prices are the less the Iraqi Dinar is valued at, so the higher it goes the better for us. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karsten Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Not too long ago everyone was saying oil Prices had to Drop in order for Iraq to feel the pressure.....With the $70.00 plus per barrel they were sittin pretty and not worried about the value. Now it has dropped to the $56.00 range they said it needed to drop to to make them raise the value......still they haven't done anything. I am beginning to think Oil Prices have nothing to do with this or any other mineral they have........It has been said that Iraq is full of the Mineral or what ever it takes to make Lithium Batteries.....Electric Car Batteries but they are not doing anything about mining it.

DoD Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 I've been hearing for many years the oil price had to be high for the Dinar to come out high yada, yada, yada...Well it went to well over a $100.00 a barrel an has gone to as low as $30.00 a barrel. Guess what, my Dinar hasn't changed in value a bit either way. Personally I don't think the price of oil or the price of tea in China has a damn thing to do with the value of the Dinar.... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage449 Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 While yes I'd like Iraq to RV, paying more at the pump when not necessary and the Saudi's are gold plating their toilets on our backs tends to p*$$ me off. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new york kevin Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 What Karsten and 3n1 said. The only benefit higher prices might have is the elimination or shrinkage of the GOI budget deficits. Yet the IMF wants them to carry some debt as part of a vibrant economy. The oil is set to be around $70 ppb as a means to putz with Russia and their economy for globalistic and economic reasons. Due to the fact that $65 or $70 a barrel is below Russia's (a member of OPEC) breakeven point for producing oil. There is a expectation that GOI could pick up the slack that Iran may be loosing due to the renewed US sanctions. If they don't, the USA will make up the difference/flood the market with oil to compete against Russia, putz with Iran, and weaken the power of OPEC and the countries that comprise them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js214 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Not much considering Basel 3 is about all assets of the entire country .Oil is only a drop in the bucket of their assets.I think once it kicks in gear they will start working to unlock the rest of those so to speak and this will help add security and solid backing , IMO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
