Article says that the bad things didn't materialize
and the dollar didn't get hit
even with the #IranWarSo think of gold at $4K (not $5.3 anymore) as the result of a "dollar relief rally"
[FORBES allows 3 free articles then paywall]

Y’all. The president of these here United States is out here with his full chest making fools of all of us.
So, he’s bigly mad that #Spain has a socialist president who wouldn’t let him use their bases to attack Iran.
"I don't want to do any trade with them, alright?" #Trump said, turning to #Bessent, who replied: "Yes, sir." Trump then added, "Don't even talk to them. They're hopeless. They're bad people... They make so much money with us, and we're going to see that they make a lot less."
I shouldn’t have to say this, but…that’s not how diplomacy works, that’s not how #EU trade agreements work, that’s not how ANY of this works.
The #GOP are cowards willing to destroy everything #American if it means one more chance to prostrate themselves at the bediapered king’s feet.
Such pathetic failsons, the lot of them.

#Japan's finance minister ~"held recent calls w/ US Treasury Secretary #Bessent to ostensibly form a joint effort (to stop) the #yen’s slide, 👀
... which could cause major upheaval in #GlobalMarkets & rattle #USA stocks.
Investors borrow cheaply in Japanese currency, putting cash to work in higher-yielding markets & keeping a steady stream of Asia-based money flowing into risk assets around the world, incl. #US stocks/commodities.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent testified that future sanctions waivers for Russian oil purchases will be country-specific rather than generalized, noting that current waivers have not significantly increased Russian revenue.

Hatte mich schon gefragt, warum es zum kurzfristigen Treffen von Trumps Stabschefin Wiley & Finanzminister Bessent mit dem Anthropic-Chef Amodei noch kaum etwas in deutschsprachigen Medien gab. Und also ein YouTube-Short dazu aufgenommen.
Denn nach meiner Auffassung sehen wir hier eine weitere, drastische Machtverschiebung von schnell alternden und fossil kriselnden Nationalstaaten zu KI-Konzernen. KI ist längst kein „Nerdkram“ mehr, sondern Technologie, die Militär, Politik, Finanzsystem / Banking, Wirtschaft, Kultur und Demografie grundlegend umwälzt. Meine ich.

Hey y'all, remember when I said I wanted to find the time to red-string the whole Jared #Kushner thing?

Side note, somewhat relevant:
Treasury Secretary Scott #Bessent controls over $1.08 billion in documented #Epstein wire transfers and has refused three Senate requests to release them.
In 2014 he was a client of Ehud #Barak’s spy firm #Ergo, whose corporate structure was created by Epstein’s lawyer Darren #Indyke.
He now chairs the #CFIUS review of a $55 billion deal where #Kushner holds equity.
Bessent's disclosure shows a $50 million debt to #GoldmanSachs, the bank brokering the deal.
No recusal has been recorded.
