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.

New Financial System

IMF member countries are receiving their shares of new SDRs, of about US$650 billion, the largest in the funds history! This is a shot in the arm for the world and will help bolster confidence and strengthen the resilience of the global economy.
The SDR is an international reserve asset created by the IMF to supplement the official reserves of its member countries.
The SDR is not a currency. It is a potential claim on the freely usable currencies of IMF members. As such, SDRs can provide a country with liquidity.
A SDR is not a loan & is cost-free for all IMF members. Unlike an extended fund facility, the government does not have to request any arrangement & there is no repayment involved. All member countries can use their allocated SDRs unconditionally.
IMF urges wealthy nations to direct $650 billion SDR share to vulnerable countries.
Zimbabwe to use more than half of IMF funds to prop up the currency.

April 2: Liberation Day and Coinage Act Celebration

April 2 weaves together two remarkable threads of American history, uniting past innovation with modern commemoration. On April 2, 1792, the United States Congress enacted the Coinage Act, a pivotal law that solidified the nation's early monetary system. Signed under President George Washington, this act established the dollar as the official currency and launched a bimetallic system, linking its value to gold and silver. Overseen by the newly founded United States Mint, it standardized coins by their precious metal content, fostering trust and stability in a young economy. Fast forward to 2025, and President Donald Trump declared April 2 "Liberation Day," a bold celebration of economic renewal through aggressive trade policies - an apt, if coincidental, nod to the day's historic financial roots.
While the Coinage Act of 1792 didn't usher in the full gold standard - later cemented in the 19th century - it laid critical groundwork with its practical yet forward-thinking design. It equipped the fledgling republic with a unified currency vital for commerce and growth, signaling a break from colonial reliance.
Today, April 2, 1792, endures as a cornerstone of American monetary history, its bimetallic foundation shaping the nation's economic trajectory. Trump's "Liberation Day" proclamation in 2025 adds a contemporary flourish, merging the legacy of financial independence with a modern vision of liberation, making April 2 a day of dual resonance.

Audit the Fed bill reintroduced

U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has reintroduced the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, also known as the "Audit the Fed" bill, aiming to prevent the Federal Reserve from withholding vital information on its operations from Congress.
Paul contends that the inner workings of the Federal Reserve are currently obscure and largely unknown, and he believes that increased transparency is crucial for better understanding and oversight.
The legislation underscores the importance of making the Federal Reserve more accountable to Congress and the public, ensuring that its decision-making processes and financial transactions are subject to thorough scrutiny.
"No institution holds more power over the future of the American economy and the value of our savings than the Federal Reserve. It's long past time for Congress to stop shirking its duty and hold the Federal Reserve accountable.
The Fed's persistent cycle of money printing and lending without any form of meaningful oversight may be the cause of many of our economic hardships, such as the struggle of many Americans to afford food."
he stated.
