Iran to OPEC: Stop Oil Sales in Dollars
Sunday April 6, 3:34 pm ET
Iranian President Urges OPEC to Form Joint Bank, Stop Pricing Oil Trades in US Dollars
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is urging OPEC members to form a joint bank and stop pricing oil trades in U.S. dollars.
According to the Iranian government's Web site, Ahmadinejad told OPEC Secretary General Abdalla Salem el-Badri the cartel "should establish a joint bank as well as having joint currency."
Oil is priced in U.S. dollars on the world market, and the currency's depreciation has concerned producers because it has contributed to rising crude prices and eroded the value of their dollar reserves.
Iran has repeatedly urged OPEC members to shift sales away from dollar. But Iran's proposal to trade oil in a basket of currencies is not supported by enough OPEC members, which include staunch U.S. allies such as leading producer Saudi Arabia.
自从1971年美国废除金本位制后,经济学家们说,从此美国进入了faith standard时代,其实美国的faith根本就没有那么值钱,美国是从gold standard进入了oil standard的时代里面.
现在伊朗的作法莫过于是要公开叫嚣美国(我个人认为纯粹是场戏而已.),如果真的成立一个以产油国为主的油货币(可能这是俄罗斯在做幕后指挥,putin曾经在国会演讲时候说过,如果情况允许,他要在2010年在俄罗斯实施金本位制度,而这个消息当时一般被censor掉,那时候我是在俄罗斯报纸网站看到的.),那么美国就失去petro dollar的地位,参考什么是petrol dollar

实际上,iraq以前尝试用欧元结算石油,就被美国消灭了,中东其余国家是绝对不会和美国对抗的.iraq目前唯一可能性的盟友,就是venezuela,俄罗斯,和一些前苏联小国.
Iran到底要做什么?俄罗斯到底要做什么?我不太清楚,我听闻,他们全部人其实都是一个集团.对抗只是表面,如果这种谣言是真的,那么它对社会大众的负面影响比它们几个国家真的要打战更糟糕.
说了那么多,虽然贴了参考资料,但是依然用中文写简短的影响点:
假设真的有一种油本位货币和美元抗争的话,会直接导致美元崩溃,美国恶性通货膨胀,美国股市,债市和衍生产品市场崩溃,甚至是美国国家政治系统的瓦解和由于经济危机产生的社会高度不稳定.为了转移内部矛盾,一场对外战争必须立刻被执行.
当然,先不用顾虑那么远,因为问题在于,我不认为真的会有什么人响应iran作法.而且,我也不认为iran领导人真的有心和美国真正对抗.很多时候,这种挑衅性行为就好象朝鲜那样,一场政治秀而已.
无论如何,这都是值得关注的消息. |
