MOEX to launch Ruble priced gold July

Head of the exchange's derivatives market Maria Patrikeyeva stated that The Moscow Exchange is planning to start trading in perpetual gold futures.
Patrikeyeva: "We launched settled quarterly gold futures, and in the near future, in July, we will launch new perpetual gold futures,".
This statement was made at the press lunch "Options Market on the Moscow Exchange: New Opportunities."
On June 28, the Moscow Exchange started trading settled gold futures contracts denominated in Russian rubles.
The GLDRUB_TOM instrument from the exchange's precious metals market serves as the underlying asset.
A lot is 1 gram, while a tick's size and value are both 0.1 rubles.
On the day the contract is settled, the strike price is the RUGOLD index price as determined by the Moscow Exchange based on transactions involving the underlying asset in the precious metals market.

US Sanctions Risking systemic collapse

Russia could ask for rubles or gold in exchange for energy. If that occurred Europe would have little choice. The real leverage in the Petrodollar system is on the 'petro' side.
It will be interesting to see how this develops. If energy payments begin moving outside of the SWIFT system, then the Petrodollar will be severely damaged.
Regardless, it's going to be disruptive and we're going to see additional problems. Very likely we will see further money printing and more stagflation.
The United States' attempts to simultaneously take on both Russia and China is a bad idea. We're forcing the two of them together while Europe is trying to play both sides. This situation will end with China and Russia gaining status.
Russian citizens have also been buying gold. This crisis will hurt their citizens, but this isn't Russia's first rodeo. The fact that Putin has done this either means he's lost his mind or he has a plan and found a window of opportunity.
We could see serious spillover effects on bonds and real yields.
The United States can't afford higher rates, and they can't remove Russia's oil without destroying their own markets.
We could see big changes should Russia use their gold as leverage. Possible scenarios that could occur should gold be revalued.
