Seems like China’s getting ready to dump its foreign currency reserves, and this is the first step.Report
Turn the lights out, the parties over. Maybe the CAD will finally reach its value.Report
Not sure whether it will actually get anywhere – the article also mentioned the Gulf States trying to set up some new currency like the Euro which would be one of the ones in the “currency basket” replacing the USD, and it takes a lot of time and negotiation to set up a unified currency like that if the Euro’s any example.Report
