After the Erdogan regime dared to arrest a Turkish citizen it pleased the U.S. Consulate-General in Ankara to employ, Daddy ordered the immediate suspension of all visa services throughout the whole of Turkey.

The lira dropped 3.4 percent and stood at 3.7385 against the dollar after being quoted overnight as touching a level of 3.9223.

The main BIST 100 stock index fell as much as 4.7 percent, closing the day down 2.73 percent at 101,298 points.

Airline shares were particularly hard hit, with flag carrier Turkish Airlines falling 9 percent.

U.S. markets, meanwhile, closed down 0.3% demonstrating that Daddy has all the power in his hands, and that Turkey will be brought to heel like an obedient lap dog.

Within a few days the Turks will obediently release their citizen as per Daddy's orders. All nation-states enjoy absolute inviolability in their internal affairs provided they do what Daddy tells them.

In the long-term Turkey does not need Amerifail. Once it has fully joined the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and is receiving rivers of funds from the One Belt One Road project, Trump and his worthless golf clubs will pale into insignificance.

You should be more worried about your Russian buddies.

The biggest issue facing the Russian ruble (RUB) in 2017 is the price of oil. That is according to a Bloomberg survey of foreign exchange (FX) executives - spanning FX analysts, traders and technology professionals - who were canvassed at the business and financial information provider’s recent FX17 summit in Moscow.

With the Spot price of the U.S. dollar(USD)/Ruble (RUB) this past Friday trading 57.9368 by 5 p.m. eastern daily time - down 0.4471 (-0.77%) over the previous close of 58.3839 - the Russian currency has ranged between 55.70’s to 67.70’s over the past 52-week period.

The past one-year return of the Ruble against the greenback stands at -5.85%, having been at over the 67 mark in June 2016. But don't discount further declines.

Bloomberg’s FX17 summit, which was held at the Four Season’s hotel located near Red Square in Moscow, came on the cusp of the board of directors of the Central Bank of Russia’s (CBR) meeting to decide on the key interest rate. Their meeting on April 28 resulted in a decision to reduce the bank’s key rate by 50 basis points (bps) to 9.25% per annum.

Hey Bernie, did you hear Apple is coming out with a new phone you can dial just by touching the screen? I wonder if it'll be a hit or not? Thoughts?

OMG! The ruble is the world currency!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, you funny Saxi! Still got Putin's taste in your mouth?

Still staying at that one room apartment with that sole bathroom down the hall you share with everyone in Moscow? Putin needs to furnish you with a nice loft with your own bathroom.

You got mrs to keep you warm right?

Considering the price of a liter of gas in Russia is 70 cents and Russia is the world's second largest natural gas producer, I'd imagine pretty good.

I don't think this thread is going like you hoped it would when you came charging in. Right?

Doesn't matter, Turkey is fucked anyway. Erdogan has triggered a mass exodus of the highly educated out of his country. Turkey has no future.

70 cents a liter for gas? The average Russian struggles to just put food on their table. The corrupt Russian State has to subsidize energy to their poor wretched people.

Tell me Saxi....how does a ex-KBG agent who jumps into politics becomes a Billionaire?

Many are the turning points with individual nations, once firmly in the Western alliance camp, but no longer. They are flipping eastward or in the case of China cutting the major cords. The Shanghai developments are by far the most important in the financial setting. The Petro-Dollar is seeing its last months after a 43-year reign as defacto standard. Its retirement will begin in the East, then spread to the decaying loyal Western nations. The entire geopolitical chessboard is becoming more aligned with the Eurasian Trade Zone, one nation after another. Its cornerstones are Russia, China, and increasingly Iran. It has gathered some Eastern European countries like Turkey, and will gather more. It has pursued the Middle East oil monarchies, and will succeed in lassoing them into the zone corral. Whether they deploy financial connections, or trade ties, or security links, these nations no longer see the United States and British (who walk the American dog with a monetary leash) as the leading global players any longer. The leaders are China with its financial and industrial might and Russia with its energy and commodity strength.

As the global structure shifts in alignment, many nations will be involved in the shifts directly. It can be perceived as chess pieces in movement. The many bilateral connections are being altered, so as to fit within the new forces. The power center is moving from West to East, although certainly very slowly. Some call it a giant ship changing course, but the Jackass thinks of it more as a very large baby being formed with numerous umbilical cords, which requires a very long gestation period like that for an elephant. The Eastern centers must remove the vestiges of old colonial power links. It is a very slow process, whereby the East must accept losses from the uprooted stanchions. The Eastern leaders measure their risks, make the changes, and consider the losses as part of a reorganization much like done with the better observed structural changes done by IBM or Chrysler.

Walls on all continents are seeing more clear graffiti. The writing is on the walls for the King Dollar first relinquishing its dominant position, then soon permitting a peaceful coexistence with the Chinese RMB, and later suffering the ignominy of gradual more complete removal as global currency reserve. Expect next to see a wider recognition of the Dual Universe, with the USD pitted against the RMB but without war. The current challenges are numerous, significant, and undeniable. The following nations are central to the global paradigm shift in progress. Cited are some key events in the shift. They have two themes in common, energy pacts and financial flight from the King Dollar. The more full description with effects, angles, and players is included in the October Hat Trick Letter, now in the production phase.

Jim Willie

China currency is fragile. Why do you think the Chinese buy U.S. Treasury Bonds?

As far as petro dollars are concerned, the world is a dangerous place and the dollar is strong, regardless of our debt. By the way, America will soon be energy self sufficient soon. Let China, Japan, Korea and Europe secure the oil in the Middle East.

So who is "the Jackass" and why doesn't he get properly attributed?

Erdogan vs our Bernie Sanders... Thats what I want to see in the ring

You guys are all ok by me, but I gotta ask, do you guys actually read what you comment on?

Dukasaur.....Jim Willie, bottom of article
Had you read the article, you would have seen its from the Hat Trick Letter.

Somebody else asked me the other day too, how come I was hiding where it was posted from.
something like that.

Bernie, maybe research the world reserve currencies, they change about every hundred years.
Its time.

Again, take the time to actually read the article your commenting on.
It tells you whats actually happening.

China's central bank buys excess U.S. dollars from exporters and gives them RMB to keep the dollar rate higher.

Why do they do that?
Because that makes gold cheaper, they are the biggest buyer of gold on the planet, and when the oil for Yuan, Yuan for gold kicks in, you think they gonna continue to buy US dollars?
Who will actually buy US dollars?
Whats the value of US dollars gonna be when nobody is buying treasuries?

You real sure the US dollar is strong?

Its gonna be a slow process, just as sterling to dollars was a slow process, but it happened, and so will this.

We are watching the end of the american empire.

Of course most people are watching football players kneeling or Trump tweeting.

They are not seeing whats happening to them. Oh well, they will, but by that time its gonna hurt big time.
