Petrodollar vs Petroyuan

www.instagram.com/reel/DW65As-...

Always hard to predict markets in my experience, but certainly possible

I’d like to see more evidence that the Saudis are selling some oil for yuan, but if they are or do, it would indicate an important shift in the Saudis’ thinking about their historical interdependence with the United States

Check out my quotes in a new Fortune article on the Iran War, oil, the dollar, and the yuan:
