You are correct; one of the few, at least on this forum, that get it.
I thought the Iranian Oil Bourse was to eventually, or theoretically, serve as an exchange for all oil bought and sold?
To attract buyers and sellers, the exchange would have to be generally accepted as generating prices that reflect real world conditions. If prices are in terms of euros or dollars, it would not matter much. There are, after all, exchange rate markets. The questions are, how liquid will the oil bourse be, how free of price manipulation?
This could seriously weaken the dollar.
Is the dollar strong or weak now? Why are US authorities complaining about China's currency being too weak against the dollar? Is the Swiss franc strong? Who trades what major commodities in Swiss francs? A currency's strength or weakness is only meaningful in terms of confidence in its future buying power. And that is a reflection of a country's monetary policy, not of the specific units used to quotes prices.
If anything this will be the real reason we go to war with Iran
On the contrary, if Iran is serious about a establishing a real oil exchange, then it will be forced to show a commitment to the international market order, a good thing. That being said, my first reaction is that this bourse project is likely a con game meant to put into effect the rule, a mullah and his money are soon parted.
Not this sh*t again!?
A "bourse" set up for $2000 in a country with no laws, no transparency, no independent judiciary, no way.
