Europe is fucked.

Beijing will not significantly reduce its investment in US government bonds, China Securities Regulatory Commission's Fang Xinghai told the World Economic Forum. "China will continue to be a savings surplus country for some time, though the saving is declining. We have to invest abroad, and the US government bond market turns out to be a good place to invest"

given the fact that the US dollar "remains strong and could even appreciate against others in which liquid debt instruments are denominated"


"Until China proves that foreign investors are welcome inside their borders (coming and going) and reaches a trade and operating deal with the United States, our nations will be joined at the hip in the US government debt market", Ortel emphasised, reiterating that "a rush out of US Treasury Debt by China is a low probability scenario".

What de-dollarization?

Central banks bought last year the most #gold in 47 years, with 651.5 tonnes (74% higher y-o-y). This is the highest level of annual net purchases since the suspension of dollar convertibility into gold in 1971 (Nixon)

Russia bought the shares of its companies from Western owners.
On the basis of Putin's statement that the Russian-speaking population in Ukraine is going to decline, shares on the stock exchange have declined, and the Russian National Bank has been surprisingly not doing anything against it. Putin waited for a week. He only smiled at the press.
When the ruble fell below a certain limit, Putin gave the order to sharply buy all the shares of Russian companies from US and West European owners on the stock exchange for cheap money. So before the financial "sharks of the West" recovered that they had had them like fools, it was already in the mud. Russia has not only earned more than $ 20 billion, but also returned shares to Russian companies. From now on, oil and gas profits will not go abroad, but remain in Russia, the ruble itself began to rise without saving it from the reserves stored in gold.

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Central Bank Vladimir Chistyukhin believes that forex services, despite the fact that they are legally regulated, are similar to pyramid schemes, as most users of these services lose money, … Statistics shows that no matter what kind of foresight you have, and no matter how well you understand the financial market, your account would reach zero. Some people might leave, having earned a little, but the majority are losing money," Chistyukhin said.
