China prepara globalização do Renminbi

 

A China precisa de aumentar as suas reservas de ouro para poder lançar o Yuan como moeda de reserva mundial

Temos insistido regularmente nesta tecla. A questão é simples: a China tonou-se o maior importador de petróleo do planeta... Se e quando o dólar cair a pique, o Yuan irá surgir inevitavelmente como uma das principais moedas de reserva mundiais... O ouro é essencial como garantia de uma moeda chinesa de reserva.

Reservas de ouro, 2013 (ton.) - Wikipedia

• Eurolândia (est. mínima): 10.990,4
• EUA (supostamente): 8.972,6
• China: 1.054,1

BRICS countries to set up their own IMF
April 14, 2014 Olga Samofalova, Vzglyad

Very soon, the IMF will cease to be the world's only organization capable of rendering international financial assistance. The BRICS countries are setting up alternative institutions, including a currency reserve pool and a development bank.

From PetroDollar To PetroYuan – The Coming Proxy Wars | Zero Hedge

Uma análise muito oportuna sobre a intensa diplomacia do petróleo e as suas repercussões, nomeadamente, em Angola, São Tomé e Príncipe e Moçambique... Portugal caminha sobre o fio da navalha!

Nigeria had, as of 2011, over 37 billion barrels of proven oil reserves. China is now one of its major trading partners. China wants Nigerian oil and my guess is that if it isn’t doing so already it is going to trade it entirely in Yuan. Such a move would mean Nigeria would need fewer dollars and more Yuan and the PetroYuan would begin to rise at the expense of the Petrodollar.

For some years now China has been making the Yuan a settlement currency. I have written about this a lot over the years. In 2012 I wrote a piece called “A new reserve currency to challenge the dollar – What’s really going on in the Straits of Hormuz.” China has created a series of bilateral settlement agreements with, among others, the EU, South Korea, Iran, India and Russia. All of these agreements by-pass the US dollar. If China now trades its oil in Yuan where will that leave the dollar?  Of course Saudi would never agree to such a thing, would it?

Now Its a long way from Nigeria’s 200 000 barrels a day to overthrowing the dollar as the premiere oil currency. But let’s face it the US has gone to war on more than one occasion recently in part because the country involved had been going to sell its oil in Euros. And the US is Europe’s friend, isn’t it?

The US hawks have always been afflicted with dominophobia – fear of falling dominoes. Somewhere in a room in the Pentagon or Langley, there is a huddle of spooks, military types, oil men and State department advisors all wondering how to prevent this new creeping menace. Because you cannot afford to be complacent you know. It starts in one country and if you don’t do something other’s will follow and before you know it the rich Western Africa oil bonanza is flowing into Yuan, to be followed by all those North African and Middle Eastern Arab Spring countries where the clean-cut boys are already having to ‘advise’ on the need to take a firm line with potentially anti-American Muslim Brotherhood types by  locking them up, shooting them and generally branding them as terrorists.

What would happen, someone will mention almost in a whisper, if Qatar were to triumph over Saudi and then cut a multi-lateral deal to sell its gas in Euros to Europe and in Yuan to China?

But to return from the overheated imaginations of the Virginia Hawks to some sort of reality, Nigeria is increasing its Yuan reserve at the expense of the dollar and is developing far closer ties to China than to the US. Which is why I think you will soon find the US dramatically increasing its involvement, both financial and military, in Angola.

Angola is going to be America’s answer to China’s Nigeria. And I think the signs are already there.
