Timely. Many countries have been quietly divesting themselves of dollar-
denominated securities owing to what happened to those held by Russia. 
When you weaponise a currency and your foreign debt, as the US has 
recently done, you better expect some blowback. Consequently, we have the 
BRICS conference this coming week (ends on Thursday IIRC) and it is 
rumoured they're on the point of announcing a new reserve currency to 
compete with the dollar for the settlement of international trade. This is 
also what is believed to be behind the current bull market in gold, since 
that commodity is expected to form at least part of the backing for the 
new currency. That could pose a threat to the dollar's monopoly, since the 
greenback is underpinned by nothing beyond the faith people have in it. 
Expect fireworks....
