China and Brazil have reached a deal to trade in their own currencies, ditching the US dollar as an intermediary, the Brazilian government said on Wednesday, Beijing’s latest salvo against the almighty greenback.
The deal will enable China, the top rival to US economic hegemony, and Brazil, the biggest economy in Latin America, to conduct their massive trade and financial transactions directly, exchanging yuan for reais and vice versa instead of going through the dollar.
“The expectation is that this will reduce costs… promote even greater bilateral trade and facilitate investment,” the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil) said in a statement.
…
China has similar currency deals with Russia, Pakistan and several other countries.
Good!
The more the merrier.
If I had extra cash, I would buy gold and silver coins, in spite of the the fact I have always lost money on them.
Faster. Faster. Kill the beast that destroyed Western Civilization.
