9 Times To Always Have $1 and $5 Bills on Hand While Traveling

Dawn Allcot Thu, June 6, 2024 GoBankingRates

As we shift toward a cashless economy, there are still times you want cash on hand. For instance, when you fuel up at the gas pump, you can save as much as 10 cents per gallon — that’s more than $1 if you have a 12-gallon tank and take it down close to empty. There are other times, especially on vacation, when you’ll want a stash of $1 or $5 bills.

Before you leave for a trip, it’s wise to withdraw some $1 and $5 bills from the ATM and keep them in your pocket, a change purse, or your wallet for easy access.

In fact, you might find yourself reaching for your wallet more than you might imagine on vacation in the U.S. Just getting from the airport into your hotel room often requires contact with multiple service providers who all supplement their income with tips.

1. Restaurant Servers

Most restaurants allow you to leave a tip for the server on your credit card when you pay the bill. But tipping in cash, instead, puts money in the server’s pocket that evening. And for many people living paycheck to paycheck, that extra money can make a difference. That’s why it’s a good idea to carry cash for tipping.

The standard rule is to tip 20%. Restaurants often publish suggested tip amounts at the bottom of the receipt, saving you the trouble of pulling out your phone to do the math.

You may also want to carry cash to pay for your restaurant meal. According to LawPay.com, in all but a handful of states, restaurants are permitted to add credit card surcharges to your bill — and many do.

Businesses in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and New York are prohibited from adding credit card surcharges, although New York allows a “cash discount” that’s essentially the same thing as a surcharge.

If you want to save money on vacation, read your restaurant bill carefully and avoid surcharges by paying in cash.

2. Housekeeping at the Hotel

If you’re staying in a hotel that cleans rooms daily, try to leave between $1 and $5 per day, according to Southern Living. There might be a new housekeeper each day. If the hotel only provides service every few days, it’s fine to leave a tip at the end of your stay. If you’re in a large suite or a luxury hotel, you might increase that amount to $10 per night or more.

Make sure to leave the tip in a visible spot, such as on the nightstand. If the hotel has stationery and a pen in the room, it’s a nice touch to leave a quick thank you note.

3. Room Service

If you order food from the hotel restaurant, it’s easy to put the charge on your room bill. But it’s a good idea to have money to tip the person delivering the food. Just as you would in a sit-down restaurant, 15% to 20% of your bill is the norm, according to Travel + Leisure.

4. Hotel Bellhop

Justin Nels, managing director of Isla Bella Beach Resort in Marathon, Florida, told travel site AFAR.com that it’s a good idea to tip your bellhop between $2 and $5 per bag, depending on the size and weight of your luggage.

Walkingstick [Iraqi bank friend Aki - highest level banking meeting update] Sudani is putting contracts in place to be implement inside of Iraq. Sudani has been doing this with thousands of contracts. "In the coming days" is what they told us that these contracts will be fulfilled in IQDs for most of the budget's projects...Those contracts will be fulfilled for their value but paid in IQD's only.

Deepwoodz They’ve changed the rate without budgets before. No reason they can’t do it at will. To start the float. The key here is the size of the budget and the international standards being applied along with the upgraded banking systems. They have a plan. Watch em work it. They appear to be pushing hard in the right direction.

Al-Toki said in a press interview that "Iraq has allocated sovereign amounts to guarantee foreign funds for investors and signed a number of agreements with international countries in order to secure funds in order to advance the economy."

"The development of the economy cannot take place without internal security, especially with regard to oil licensing rounds, as we have noticed the reluctance of a number of large international companies to enter into these rounds," he said.

"We have great confidence in the government of Prime Minister Mohamed Shia al-Sudani and Interior Minister Abdul Amir al-Shammari in following up on the issue of attacks on restaurants and brands," al-Touki said, noting that "there is a personal interference from them in this matter."

He explained that "all countries of the world are witnessing this kind of acts, but the situation of Iraq is somewhat different because security issues affect its economy," stressing that "there are hidden hands trying to prevent Iraq from rising."

Iraqi News Highlights and Points To Ponder Thursday Evening 6-6-24

Kurdish MP: The Region’s Share In The Budget Is Fair And We Are Happy To See It Passed

Policy Al-Sumaria News – Politics The representative of the Kurdistan Democratic Party bloc, Sharif Suleiman, described today, Thursday, the Kurdistan region’s share in the federal budget as “fair,” indicating that prior political agreements decided its passage.

Suleiman said in an interview with: Alsumaria News “The political agreement that occurred between the governments of the center and the region is the basis for agreeing on the region’s share of the budget amounting to 12.67%,” adding, “We are happy that there were no bidding or arguments regarding voting on the budget tables and the region’s share in them.”

He added, "The region's share in the budget tables is fair and not bad in light of the reality it is experiencing."Iraq", indicating, "We hope that the budget will be implemented in the correct manner agreed upon and that it will not be subject to political quarrels and bidding or be used as a pressure card."

An Economist Reveals The Positive Side Of The Budget

Economy Information / Baghdad.. Today, Thursday, economic expert Dargham Muhammad Ali revealed the positives of the current year’s budget, which was approved by the House of Representatives a few days ago.

Follow the “Al-Ma’louma” channel on Telegram.. News that does not require documentation..

Ali told Al-Maalouma: “The criticisms raised about the budget are normal, but most of them are based on bias towards the governorates, or perhaps for electoral goals sometimes.”

He added, "The real face of the budget has many positives, including that it is different from previous budgets, as it represented the highest investment ceiling among previous budgets."

He pointed out, "Allocating financial benefits for the development road project, supporting the private industrial sector, and supporting many infrastructure projects that will contribute in one way or another to activating various economic activities that will benefit in the near future."

He continued: “The government’s adoption, for the first time, of the principle of diversifying the distribution of projects between the local administrations of the governorates and between the ministries, will reflect positively on the implementation of projects by creating an atmosphere of competition between the ministries and governorates, especially since the government granted the implementation of the ministries’ projects directly.”

He continued, "The budget was based on distributing the governorates' funds according to deprivation and not on the basis of the proportion of the population, and this will establish the basis for revitalizing the economy of the governorates that suffer from a lack of services and others."

Abdel Wahid: The Region’s Budget Allocations Do Not Fit Its Reality, And The Smuggled Funds Are No Longer Mere “Frauds.”

Time: 06/05/2024 Read: 2,548 times {Politics: Al-Furat News} The head of the New Generation Parliamentary Bloc, Sarwa Abdel Wahed, said that the region’s budget allocations do not fit its reality, while she believes that the smuggled funds that have returned are mere “fraud”.

Abdel Wahed said, during her hosting of the program {Free Speech} broadcast by Al-Furat satellite channel this evening, that: “

We voted as a new generation on the 2024 budget tables and we had observations regarding the region’s share on the basis of 3 governorates and not 4 {Sulaymaniyah, Dohuk, Erbil and Halabja}.”

- There is an article in the law that obligates the House of Representatives to vote on the budget without discussing it.

- The Kurdistan region’s budget allocations are not proportionate to the size of the region’s reality, but they are good for covering the salaries of the region’s employees.

- We are in favor of improving the governorates’ budgets, especially in Basra Governorate.

- Not all objections are based on schedules The budget is in good shape, but there are those who want to exploit this situation.

- Some politicians defend the contracts of the region’s governorates for personal gain.

- The issue of appeals against the budget is natural, and the judiciary is the one who determines whether it is valid or not.

- We communicate our objection to all Shiite and Sunni leaders, and we are not responsible for the mistakes of others -

The Chairman of the Parliamentary Finance Committee did not attend the voting session on the budget schedules due to the lack of allocations for some governorates.

- The central and regional governments bear the responsibility of delaying the payment of employees’ salaries as well as the resettlement.

- The current session of the House of Representatives is devoid of commitment to attending the sessions and their effectiveness and activity in legislating laws as a result of many problems and lack The harmony of the parties and the absence of Muhammad Al-Halbousi did not change the reality of Parliament.

The problem of resolving the position of Speaker of Parliament can be solved through settlement, as happened with the President of the Republic, in one session.

- What is returned to the state’s treasury of smuggled funds is merely “bankruptcy” relative to what was stolen, and no Iraqi institution has the right to withhold information from representatives, and the current session is witnessing a significant reduction in the follow-up of corruption files.

Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani is an honest person and he should be given a deadline to complete his work.

We transferred two documents containing suspicions of corruption related to Samarra medicines and the Ministry of Education to the Federal Integrity Commission and are awaiting investigations. Wafaa Al-Fatlawi LINK

Economic Warning From The Basra-Aqaba Pipeline.. How Much Is Its Value?

Economy News – Baghdad Today, Thursday, the economic expert, Hamza Al-Jawahiri, warned against the Basra-Aqaba oil pipeline project, and in what he described as a “Trojan horse” for normalization with Israel, he pointed to the value of its total cost.

Al-Jawahiri said, in an interview with Al-Iqtisad News, that “the Iraqi government is under intense pressure from America to implement the Basra-Aqaba oil pipeline project,” noting that “MPs must have a role in stopping the project because it represents the cornerstone of the so-called deal of the century.” In which the project will be a Trojan horse for normalization with Israel, which the people completely reject.”

He added, "The Basra-Aqaba oil pipeline and its annexes are projects that cost Iraq $28 billion and include the cost of building the line and Mustafa Oil to be established in Aqaba, along with a line that goes to Egypt to supply it with oil, in addition to building a port in Aqaba for export. All costs are borne by Iraq."

He pointed out, "Iraq bears all kinds of cruelty, especially since the line passes through Wadi Houran, which is considered a safe haven for ten thousand ISIS fighters," noting that "Iraq transports through it to Jordan 150,000 barrels of oil and 150,000 barrels to the refinery in Aqaba and a quantity of oil."

More than 300 thousand barrels per day to Egypt and Israel, while the line does not transport more than one million barrels to Jordan, meaning that Iraq will only export 400 thousand barrels per day to the world.

Al-Jawahiri stressed, “All the costs of building the line are paid by Iraq, as are the costs of operating the line, and it bears the cost of the oil’s passage through Jordan at the rate of two dollars and seventy cents per barrel.”

The economic expert stated, “When the oil is transported from the port of Aqaba, it will be in waters completely controlled by Israel, and if the latter creates any problem to impose normalization on Iraq, it will be forced to submit to its will, and thus the line will be a Trojan horse for normalization with the latter.” 06/06/2024 - https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=44066

6 Great Money Lessons From the 1950s You Should Use Today

Angela Mae Thu, Jun 6, 2024,

America in the 1950s was a vastly different place than it is today. Unemployment rates were low, individual purchasing power was high, and mass production and new technologies were making everyday goods and services readily available and cheaper.

Many young adults in the 1950s grew up during the Great Depression — 1929 to 1941. As they went on to launch their own careers, start their own families and pursue the American dream, they did so with the financial lessons they learned along the way.

And those lessons? They were passed down to their children and their children’s children.

While the 1950s might seem ever so distant, many of the lessons that came about back then are still significant today. Living within your means, owning what you have, saving up for the future — these are just some of the great money lessons from back then that you should use today.

Wealthy people know the best money secrets. Learn how to copy them.

Live Within Your Means

Learning to live within your means is just as important now as it was 20, 50 or even 100 years ago.

“In the 1950s, most families stuck to pretty much the same budget from year to year, with people spending only what they earned and never going into debt when they [could avoid it],” said Erika Kullberg, a personal finance expert, attorney and founder of Erika.com.

It helped that the first consumer credit card didn’t come about until 1958, when Bank of America launched BankAmericard. Credit simply wasn’t as readily accessible as it is today.

“In a world where credit is easy, it’s more important now than ever to shop around, practice self-discipline and save rather than borrow,” said Kullberg.

If you must use credit or loans for something, like a house or school, do so with extreme caution so that you don’t end up taking on debt you can’t afford.

Live Like Your Money’s Going To Disappear

Living like your money will disappear doesn’t mean spending everything immediately. Quite the opposite, in fact.

“In the ’50s, many adults remembered struggling through the Great Depression,” said Todd Stearn, founder and CEO of The Money Manual. “With low inflation and unemployment and high wages, the middle class had more spending money than ever in the ’50s, but many were so impacted by the things they and their parents had been through financially that they often saved carefully despite the good fortune many had found. That caution with money is just as valuable today.”

Save as Much as You Can, But Use Your Savings as Intended

Clare: Nearly 80 trillion dinars disappear from the 2022 and 2023 budget.. Deputy: “No one knows where it went.”

6/4/2024 – Baghdad

Member of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee, Hadi Al-Salami, revealed today, Tuesday, that about 57 trillion Iraqi dinars remain from the 2023 budget, and no one knows where it went.

Al-Salami said, “The 2023 budget amounted to 206 trillion, the actual expenditure was 148 trillion, and the remaining 57 trillion. No one knows where that retained money went.”

He added, "There are 22 trillion in rounds in the 2022 budget as well, and no one knows where it went," noting that "there are problems and irregularities regarding the issue of actual revenues and actual expenses in the budget tables."

He explained, “The House of Representatives made many observations on the budget schedules that were passed without warning.” LINK

GEGDinar: This is simply devastating. The entire world is looking at Iraq, and if they haven't been able to show that they can get ahold of their endemic corruption, then what. If I'm looking at investing in Iraq, or a company holding an infrastructure contract with the Iraqi government, I'm going to seriously second-guess my decision and look to exit stage left. If what Frank says is true and they decide to come out with an operational budget at 1,310 rate with no Investment Budget, their credibility will take a massive hit. imo

BM532: I am fine with all of these "negative" articles on economists and "members" stating the disappearance if large sums of money and a less that satisfying budget. Kuwait did the same thing saying xyz and then come out with the new rate! IMO. I always said I would look for silence or little to know news, then what would be considered negative news, then BAM - the world celebrates. IMOx100

~~~~~~~~~~

DeepWoodz: Ain’t no way. Parliament doesn’t control the money in the budgets. I don’t even believe this is true.

TSM: Exactly my thoughts as well....WHO was allocating the funds to projects, etc...Seems like the floor is still pretty dirty and maybe instead of Sudani taking all of the victory laps he should have been paying more attention to the day to day operations of the gov't...IMO

DeepWoodz: Fake news. Agreed.Back to the real stuff.Census almost done. Great timing.

PJSMan: I also agree ....it is fake news......if Sudani let 57 trillion Dinars slip out the door on his watch.....while the dinar is at a program rate......then he does not have good systems in place .......sounds like controlled mis information…….OR If it is true, but Sudani already located the 57 Trillion .....and this is to expose Parliament there is no way he sets up a conference call/meeting to tell people that "57 Trillion is missing and I hope we can find it in the coming days"

GEGDinar: So the way I look at this is what does this 57 Trillion that has disappeared tell people like the WTO, IMF, BIS, Word Bank, U.S Fed, global contractors, etc. about the condition of Iraq right now? Can they really be trusted? Or are they seeing a corrupt society that is unwilling to change? If Sudani and his government cannot resolve this case of the missing 57 trillion in "The Coming Days" then important entitles that I've mentioned will probably want to slam on the emergency brakes and bring everything to a halt. I guess the next few weeks will show us how serious Sudani and his anti-corruption will be at going after whomever has perpetrated this crime. I pray this gets resolved quickly. If not, it's back to square one.

~~~~~~~~~~

Harlequinc3: Old timers, help me out here, I don't think I'm crazy. I distinctly recall way back when we thought the budget mattered under Maliki, a very similar situation came up -- X amount of dinar has gone missing from the leftover budget! The surplus is all gone! What can we do???

And I have a very strong memory of Saleh at the behest of Shabibi calmly replying there was a 'slush fund' of sorts that the excess funds from previous budgets went in to -- a set of separate accounts from what Parliament had -- they weren't lost, they were removed out of Parliament's hands, for all intents and purposes, to protect them. That 'discretionary fund' is what they used to run the government the next year because they could never get a real budget activated -- the operational budget Frank was talking about.

This was back when they were meeting day after day, walking out to protest Maliki, and never had quorum. I wanna say 2010-ish? Anyway, I am almost positive I remember the same scenario way back when, and a couple days later here's Saleh explaining, wow, don't worry, we're not THAT inept.

Clare: An Iraqi economist criticizes the 2024 budget: operational par excellence

6/6/2024

Thursday, economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi criticized the federal budget for the year 2024, which is the largest in the history of Iraq, describing it as operational par excellence, considering that it is not part of the development plan.

Al-Marsoumi told Shafaq News Agency, “The budget has abundant funds, amounting to 211 trillion Iraqi dinars, and this is a very large amount, but as is the case in previous Iraqi budgets, it was allocated to social care, salaries, and other expenses, and therefore it is an operational budget that does not change the quality and structure of the Iraqi economy.” .

He added, "The budget is dependent on oil and the extent of the backwardness is large in the sectors of industrial and agricultural production and operational services. The budget was not part of the development plan, as there is supposed to be a development plan in the country every four or five years."

Al-Marsoumi continued, "There is no strategic tool that distributes oil revenues to the people and to the governorates, as the financial allocations to the governorates range between 7-20% of the budget."

He pointed out that "operational spending took up 74% of the approved budget, with about 95% on oil export imports, while investment spending amounted to 55 trillion dinars, including 1,321 projects, 470 of which were lagging in implementation due to the lack of financial allocations. The government is also completing implementation." Major projects related to infrastructure and other commercial and industrial projects that have important future economic roles, such as Al-Faw Port and the development road.” LINK

Thursday Evening News with MarkZ

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context. Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good evening to all….hope your day was wonderful

Member: What is new and exciting today Mark?

MZ: I have been getting amazing news from a number of historic bond contacts as they appear to be prepping for a very early money release next week. There is a lot of stuff being signed and a lot of scrambling to fill more orders.

MZ: If I told the numbers of historic bonds you would be blown away. The sheer number of bonds and boxes of bonds they are collecting around the world is stunning

MZ: I am very confident in saying things are in full swing. Very much so.

MZ: I hear that you folks and your friends who are involved with bonds and groups are beginning to get notifications …and are getting updates over the last day or so.

MZ: I wish I could share some things without getting folks in trouble –that sucks …. because I would if I could so that you all could have the same warm,fuzzy feeling I have right now.

MZ: Instead you get to see me give the news and being content and confident that we are in the final days of this journey.

MZ: “The UN sees progress in Iraq’s anti corruption efforts and lists recommendations..” The UN seems pretty happy with all the efforts you have made Iraq …here’s you “atta boy”

MZ: This is actually important to see all the sanctions going away and Iraq being free and clear to change values on the world stage.

MZ: There really is a lot of news coming out of Iraq.

MZ: “The United Nations development program has issued a 49 page report on investment opportunities in line with Iraq’s sustainable goals” These are things to develop a very robust Iraq economy.

MZ: “Saudi Arabia has joined a China dominated central bank digital currency cross border trial” It’s all coming together. Their terminology may not be the best one to use….what they are referring to is a BIS system that uses CBDC,, digital currency and blockchain. It will use all of them. This system is what does away with SWIFT. It’s a fully functioning system outside the SWIFT system. And Saudi Arabia just joined.

Member: And Saudi Arabia’s 50 year contract expires on Sunday to only use the petrodollar for oil sales……I don’t think it’s a coincidence.

MZ: They will probably still take dollars…and use them on the world stage…but they do not have to take only dollars. This is a huge piece of news. The whole world is positioning to not need the US dollar.

Member: I think BRICS is going to save the world financially…..hope we all can be a part of it.

Member: I missed what the estimates of the currencies rates were….Could you give a refresher?.

MZ: Noone knows for sure….but, the rumors I have heard….the ones I have the most faith in are around $4 for the dinar…around $2.25 for the dong. …Around $1.40 something for Indonesian rupiah, We have seen rates for the dinar close to $5 recently and close to $3 for the dong on bank screens. And $1.36 for rupiah on some screens. And I continue to hear $30M to $50 M per each 100T Zim bond .

MZ: But, we are not going to know the exact rate until we are exchanging…..but we are hopeful those rates are close to accurate.

Member: What’s the story of the rumored $28.50 contract rate on the dinar?

MZ: WE have seen that rumor since the early days…..it sounds great but don’t know how accurate it is. Maybe it means what our purchasing power will be when we go back to the gold standard? That would actually make some sense.

Member: I would love to see a picture of those bank screens.

Member: I’m hoping your rumored rate on the bolivar is right. I beleive you said .27 cents per 1 bolivar yesterday?

Member: Thank you Mark...have a great evening!

Member: Thank you PDK for the transcriptions.

MZ: Yes PDK does a great job. We don’t say that enough

PDK: You are welcome….hope we are really close so I can retire like all of you!

This will significantly minimize the use of the Petro Dollar if not completely over time. Currently, Saudi Arabia still services the United States along with China who uses the Petro Yuan to trade in oil agreements.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Thursday Afternoon 6-6-24

Plasschaert's Replacement Raises Controversy.. Who Is He?

Political | 06/06/2024 Baghdad - Mawazine News Arab reports revealed today, Thursday, that the United Nations has nominated the permanent representative of the Sultanate of Oman, Mohammed bin Awad, to fill the position of head of the UN mission in Iraq.

This comes after the UN Security Council unanimously approved ending the United Nations political mission in Iraq, and ending the duties of the head of the mission in Iraq, Jeanine Plasschaert.

A report by the Emirati network Eram, followed by Mawazine News, said, “There are some unnamed political parties that had reservations about the candidate, Muhammad bin Awad, and demanded that the United Nations bring in a foreign, non-Arab person for this position,” without disclosing the reasons for the rejection.

The Iraqi government had asked the Council, in a letter dated May 8, to end the mission of the United Nations Mission in Iraq at the latest by the end of 2025.

According to this request, the UN Security Council voted unanimously, last Friday, to end the United Nations mission in Iraq, which was established In 2003, which aimed to coordinate humanitarian efforts and post-war reconstruction efforts.

According to the resolution, the United Nations extended the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) for 19 months until December 31, 2025, and then developed a “transition and liquidation plan” in consultation with the Iraqi government to transfer its tasks and withdraw employees and assets. https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=249264

money and business Economy News – Baghdad The Ministry of Interior announced today, Thursday, that managing the digital transformation file includes 4 stages, while indicating that digital transformation has reduced the burden on citizens and removed the similarity of names to controls.

Director of the Information Systems Directorate in the Ministry, Thamer Al-Amiri, said: “Managing the digital transformation file in the Ministry of Interior includes several stages, building the ministry’s own systems and managing strategic projects, including the passport project and the visa project, as well as the electronic gates at airports as well as the digital data center.”

Thursday 06, June 2024 20:13 | Political Number of readings: 107 Baghdad / NINA / The Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced its intention to reduce its diplomatic presence in Iraq, after the end of its country’s strategy to confront the threat of ISIS in the coming year.

A Canadian Foreign Ministry spokesperson told the Kurdish media network Rudaw: “Canada’s Middle East strategy, which was originally created to confront the direct threat posed by ISIS in Iraq and Syria, and its effects on neighboring countries Lebanon and Jordan, will end in March 2025.”

The spokesman added, "When the strategy ends, Canada's diplomatic presence in Jordan and Iraq will be reduced, and our office in Erbil in the Kurdistan region will be closed."

He stressed that Canadian embassy officials in Iraq will “actively” maintain regular communication with officials and people in the Kurdistan region.

A Canadian Foreign Ministry spokesman explained that these changes are consistent with the process of refocusing government spending, indicating that in the 2023 budget, the Canadian government committed to reducing spending by $14.1 billion over the next five years, starting from 2023-2024.

Jack Straw: Black Swan Event Anticipated as Petrodollar Comes to an End

6-6-2024

Jack Straw: On Sunday, June 9, 2024, a “Black Swan” event is anticipated as the Petrodollar comes to an end, leading to a collapse of the global financial system.

With no need for nations to hold U.S. Treasuries as a global reserve asset for oil trade, the U.S. Treasury bond market, which relies on the world’s demand for dollar reserves (off-balance-sheet dollars), will face severe disruption. The termination of the Petrodollar on June 9th eliminates the necessity for countries to maintain U.S. Treasuries as the global reserve asset in oil trade.

Consequently, theJapanese yen is expected to hyper-inflate against their U.S. Treasury holdings, forcing Japan to liquidate all their dollars.

“Tennessee Bank Story” by Mary D – 6.5.24

Entry Submitted by Mary D at 11:03 AM ET on June 5, 2024

I WENT INTO MY BANK IN TENNESSEE YESTERDAY AND ASKED THE WOMAN IF THEY HAD LEARNED THE NEW SYSTEM YET?

SHE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THEY WERE FINISHED WITH THE TRAINING.

SHE THEN ASKED ME IF I HAD FOREIGN CURRENCY. I TOLD HER THAT I HAD ZIM, SOME DONG, AND SOME DINAR.

SHE SMILED AND TOLD ME THAT THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG QUICKER THAN WE THINK AND THAT IS ALL SHE COULD TELL ME.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY. LET’S HOPE THINGS START HAPPENING SOON.

Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: TV says the budget didn't go to the president for signature but to the publishing in gazette...When the budget is in the Gazette it will go live. So that means a new exchange rate will come soon to correct that new budget because it can't handle all of these projects at a program rate, correct? FRANK: That is correct. It is also the monetary reform plan of Dr. Shabibi.

CharlieOK It would be very hard to have a "contract" if you don't know what you are going to be paid. More than likely, the companies with the "contracts" already know what the rate is. The "contract" would have to be subject to an agreed rate certain, in order to be able to agree to an amount they will agree to be paid in consideration of their services.

CandyKisses: Gold boosts its luster after important data

Baghdad Today - Follow-up

Gold prices rose during trading today, Thursday (June 6, 2024), with the decline of the dollar and US Treasury yields in light of increasing bets that the US interest rate cut may begin next September, while investors await US nonfarm payrolls data.

By 0258 GMT, gold was up 0.8 percent at $2,373.31 an ounce, after rising one percent in the last session.

US gold futures rose 0.7 percent to $2,392.80.

The dollar index fell 0.2 percent to hover around a near two-month low, and benchmark 10-year US Treasury yields remained near their lowest levels in more than two months.

Tim Waterer, senior market analyst at KCM Trade, said: "Buyers shrugged off the dollar today after weak data in the run-up to the release of nonfarm payrolls data that enabled the price of gold to boom."

"The baseline outlook still looks constructive for gold as we approach possible rate cuts in the second half of the year. However, the $2,300 level could be trending lower if we get a strong reading for nonfarm payrolls specifically."

US private sector hiring fell to a four-month low in May, adding to signs of a weakening labor market. Markets now await Friday's nonfarm payrolls data for more indicators.

Low interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding the non-yielding metal.

Among other precious metals, spot silver rose 1.8 percent to $30.54 an ounce, platinum rose 1.2 percent to $1,003.95 and palladium gained 1.2 percent to $942.75.
