True dear @DalitThe Saudis are lackeys of the US. I don't believe a word of this story. The day the Saudi monarchy turns its back to the US will be the day when the people will ransack the kingdom.
Saudi Arabia isn't the only oil producing, oil exporting nation. Others, as the article points out Brazil and Canada and challenging the Middle East dominance. These new players will continue to sell oil in dollars.True or not, the petrodollar agreement has not been renewed yet.
It doesn't hurt to play the Chinese card to get much more concessions from U.S.
It's the moment the U.S. is seeking Saudi Arabia's diplomatic support right now.
Canda will keep using dollar I suppose otherwise they will have more democracy and freedom from their neighbor.Saudi Arabia isn't the only oil producing, oil exporting nation.

Saudi watched that and they are terrified by it how worthless their dollars actually are and it is normal and expected by them to do everything they can to avoid scenario where their wealth could be obliterated over night by some political circle jerk in washington.Everything is as good as it was. Nothing happened.
There is no power shift.
$300 billion in Russian assets in the West was NOT frozen. Don't worry.
G7 Agrees to $50 Billion Ukraine Loan Backed by Russian Assets Brilliant!
Ukraine War is a skirmish.
So KSA is so stupid that they don't worry when they have trillions of U.S. foreign exchange assets?
Or do you believe that no matter how smart KSA is, they don't have any choice but to stick to the U.S. bond?
There is something brewing, we will witness before the U.S. general election, I assure you.
MBS won't give Biden a green pass in November. He will take revenge. We all knew he favored Trump over Biden.
Never ever put all your eggs in one basket.Saudi watched that and they are terrified by it how worthless their dollars actually are and it is normal and expected by them to do everything they can to avoid scenario where their wealth could be obliterated over night by some political circle jerk in washington.
I am amazed how basic currency value principle which is credibility is ditched by west overnight because russia war against ukraina expecting that it will not leave significant consequences in international relations.Never ever put all your eggs in one basket.
They are hungry financially, so short-term gains overpower long-term strategy.I am amazed how basic currency value principle which is credibility is ditched by west overnight because russia war against ukraina expecting that it will not leave significant consequences in international relations.
Canada is a so-called U.S. ally, willingly or unwillingly, they don't have a choice.…and then you wake up in a puddle. What about that Canadian thing again…
No such thing. It's all in your head.... Brazil has a huge trade surplus with China. They will probably use RMB since the dollar is becoming more and more risky.
