KTFA:Samson: Brent Crude Reaches $128 A Barrel
8th March, 2022
The price of Brent crude rose more than 4 dollars, today, to reach 127.86 dollars per barrel.
At the same time, US crude futures rose more than $3, and the price reached $122.79 a barrel, according to “Reuters”.
Analysts expected that oil prices will continue to rise more than they are now this week due to the delay in concluding the Iranian nuclear talks and thus the possibility of Iranian crude oil returning to the already turbulent global markets.
Amrita Sen, co-founder of the Energy Aspects Research Institute, said, “Iran was the only factor supporting the price drop that is hanging over the market, but if the Iranian agreement is delayed now, we may consume stocks more quickly,” according to “Reuters”.
Samson: Russia: Oil prices may reach $300 a barrel
7th March, 2022
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexandernovak said on Monday that oil prices could jump above $300 a barrel, if the United States and Europe ban crude imports from Russia.
“It is absolutely clear that the rejection of Russian oil will lead to catastrophic consequences for the global market,” Novak said in a video statement broadcast by Russian television.
He continued, “The jump in prices will be unpredictable. It (the price) will reach $300 a barrel, if not more.” LINK

Samson: A Deputy commends the reform paper submitted by the Minister of Finance and calls for its implementation
8th March, 2022
Today, Tuesday, Representative Alia Nassif stressed the need to ration resources in a way that prevents wasting them on thieves and the corrupt, while she welcomed the proposal to “support the poor, the weak and the vulnerable groups” presented by the Minister of Finance.
Nassif said in a statement received by the National News Center that “presenting this reform paper expresses a sense of responsibility towards our people, especially the fragile class, families without breadwinners, families of martyrs and wounded, today there are unfortunately thousands of families who do not find their daily strength.”
She pointed to “the necessity of rationing resources in a way that prevents wasting them on thieves and the corrupt, which will reflect positively on the income of the poor and provide food security and social security.”
Nassif called on the executive and legislative authorities to “direct implementation of the reform paper and not to make it a formal paper like its predecessors, while keeping it away from consuming political bidding.” LINK
***************
MilitiaMan: The interesting issue is they postpone the court until next Monday to hear the case of the Dollar Exchange rate and a Sovereign Wealth Fund.
The other interesting thing imo is they are suggesting that the case is to restore the Dinar back to 120,000 / 100 USD from it’s present 1460. Just barely back to where it was 12/19/2020, a 22-23% move..
Was that there goal to inflict pain and suffering from the devaluation on to the citizens and with the harshest effect to be on the poor? If so they did a good job of it.
Could there be more to the story that will unfold between now and the meeting on 03/14/2022. We know there were other reasons too, debt payments to kuwait, etc..
That raising of the exchange rate is nothing new, a reversion will be. The problem I see with the reversion back to 120,000 / 100USD is that it really doesn’t help they poor. The were per before the devaluation and still are and even more so.
Going from poor to poorer and back again to poor is a double slap in the face, imo. I am fairly sure the citizens will feel it too, on both sides. That will not be the purchase power they were promised prior to the devaluation nor the promises of late.
Lets think about it though. They need the court to sort the exchange rate change out and then talk about the Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF)?
Are we to believe since they didn’t have SWF before at 1,190 that one will be feasible with a reversion to only 1190 again?
Or could it be that they have other intentions, as in the project to delete the zeros. If so, then there would be the wealth from a real valuation of the countries assets that takes into consideration the automated taxes tariffs, customs, fees, liquid natural gas production, Sulphur, gold, reserves domestic and foreign, agriculture, tourism, etc.? Not far from now we will know the answers.
I do like the fact that they want the direct implementation of the reform paper to be direct and keeping it from the consuming political bidding powers. In other, words the politicians need to keep their hands off. It is to be for the good of the people.. imo ~ MM
