🩸 Death of the Petrodollar

The long-standing Petrodollar deal between the US and Saudi to sell oil only in dollars ended on June 9 - after being in place for 50 years.

The system marked the US dollar as the world's reserve currency, granting economic stability and access to rising asset prices – it also helped preserve dollar dominance over global trade.

Turbulent times and great geo-political changes lay ahead. Can the US dollar survive?

🇫🇷French Conservatives Seek “Deal” with National Rally

France’s mainstream conservative party is seeking an alliance with Marine Le Pen in an unprecedented embrace of the hard-Right.

Eric Ciotti, leader of the Republicans has now signalled his willingness to enter a govt with Le Pen - insisting their parties “say the same things” and that any opposition between them was “imagined.”

National Rally is looking for allies in case it fails to reach an absolute majority, which would mean it could name the prime minister and make Macron a lame duck – despite the president insisting he will not resign.
