10-9-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Iraq is going out of their way right now to lie to us, mislead, confuse at the maximum level that they can. We've got to pay close attention. If anybody is going to get emotional in this, this is your time to exit out. This is the worst time for anyone to be emotional in this space...I'm not going to be emotional intros. I'm going to stay grounded. I will observe this..day-by-day to see what happens each day to see what direction this is going to go...
10-9-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man New notes, redenomination, rate decision, Real Effective Exchange Rate, they can run side by side. One does not cancel the other... 10-9-2026 Intel Guru Suzie Article: "MP Miqdad al-Khafaji calls on Parliament to compel the government to reverse the exchange rate increase and warns of harm to purchasing power" Finally someone talking with common sense, you can't go backwards and expect the citizens and dealmakers...and the country as a whole, to accept higher costs, less profit margin and jump up and down with joy, there's too much at stake for them and the dealings with the international community... 10-9-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article Quote: "Raising the dollar exchange rate to over 1,500 dinars may not be the last surprise Baghdad has in store. While Iraqi markets have begun adjusting to the new rate, the government, according to informed sources speaking to Al-Mada, is preparing for a more sensitive step: replacing the currency and removing zeros. The sources say the process could begin within a few months, perhaps at the start of next year, but no later than the first quarter of 2027...Replacing the currency could help track down at least $200 billion believed to be held by corrupt individuals." 10-9-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick Iraq is not quick to do anything so Trump put them in a predicament...[Iraqi] Exports are good. They make money off that...They import a lot, is bad. They're paying higher prices...which turns the citizens against you for doing that to them...[The CBI] is trying to collect 3-zero notes...but they need to collect USD too. There's a lack of liquidity in Iraq right now so they're trying to draw in US dollars... This [1510 devaluation] is short-term...This is a wake up call. Get off the pot. Use your own currency. 10-9-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Iraq's cut to 1,500 is the first move in a sequence: Lower the rate. Replace the currency. Raise the rate...Step one is now done. Most people have forgotten how much of the rest Iraq has already put in place: the new notes, the smaller notes, the coins, the gold, the banks, the pipelines, and the oil that has to flow before the last step can happen. That oil is moving again. 10-9-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen They're not going to tell us everything. If the revaluation/reinstatement is going to be this massive wealth event for the country of Iraq and anyone that holds their currency, do you think it's going be out in the open as far as what they're doing? Or do you think there's going to be confusion, which is what we're seeing? Most likely it's going to seem like things are not going to change or get better, which is what we're seeing... 10-9-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Notice how at the same time as the cabinet is ready to go to vote, which allows them to revalue, they quickly created a dinar vacuum to suck in the last remaining notes, implement misdirection, confusion and so forth. Perfect timing to bring this all together and wrap this up within the next few weeks... 10-9-2026 Newshound Guru tishwash Article: "The dollar rises first... Baghdad is keeping the date for currency replacement secret for fear of a move by "big players" Article Quotes: "Raising the price of the dollar to more than 1500 dinars may not be the last surprise that Baghdad has in store...As Iraqi markets began to deal with the new dollar exchange rate, the government is preparing for a more sensitive step, which is replacing the currency and removing zeros from it. The process may begin within a few months, perhaps at the beginning of next year, but should not exceed the first quarter of 2027..."; “Baghdad wants the money to reach the moment of exchange before the news reaches it..." 10-9-2026 Newshound Guru Ariel I needed to make this clear for those who will attempt to use those reserves as an excuse as to why it is so impossible for Iraq to go back to 3.22 or 4.00. We are getting paid in secondary markets. We will not be draining Iraq’s reserves or economy. This is precisely why the reserve figure matters so much: the $85B isn’t a payout fund, it’s the credibility backstop that lets the secondary market absorb redemptions at the new rate without Iraq’s books imploding. The reserves guarantee the currency’s floor; the market handles the flow. 10-9-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Remember we are dealing with Iraq and so things could change suddenly. There is also much more progress than what we read in the news. We don’t need a ‘perfect’ Iraq to have a reinstatement. Only to follow ‘the plan’ and get enough security and stability to attract investors to grow the economy. I firmly believe statements I hear from the IMF and the CBI that Iraq is to be the ‘financial center’ for the middle east...

10-8-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick ...They're trying to draw in dollars right now just like they are IQD...Trump wants them to be de-dollarized. Stand on your own two feet. Use the IQD...They're trying to collect both [IQD and USD] now [by devaluating to 1500].
10-8-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen I got a notification in the middle of the night that the CBI changed the exchange rate. As you can imagine I was excited and couldn't wait to check my phone and see what it was. It wasn't the change we all wanted. However I do think this is a critical piece of the puzzle and plays a large role in the sequence of events that we are all waiting and hoping for...I believe a revaluation of the currency is imminent and it will happen in the very near future. 10-8-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff There's not going to be two different rates. There's only one rate...For the citizens that live in the country...prior to the rate changing, they could buy a bag of groceries or a 25k note. After the rate change, they'll be able to buy the same bag of groceries with a 25 note...The notes are going to have the same purchasing power before the rate changes to after the rate changes...Out of country it's different because now you have the value of the dinar against foreign currencies. 10-8-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram Don't let the currency set back destroy your long-term outlook. Iraq is a nation with tremendous natural resources, economic potential and opportunities for growth. A currency's weakness today does not determine its value tomorrow...A major revolution was never guaranteed...Investing is not just about hoping for a better tomorrow. It's about understanding what must happen to make that tomorrow possible. The IQD story is not over. 10-8-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 Community Comment: "This [devaluation] is not being done to bring in 'dinar mattresses'." Frank26: Yes it is. That's just one of the many things that this strategic step is doing right now...of the monetary reform and it is extremely good... 10-8-2026 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Article: "Iraq ranks third in the Arab world and 28th globally with cash reserves amounting to $85 billion." 10-8-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence The first trading day of Iraq's new dinar rate ended with two of Baghdad's main wholesale markets locked. Shops and warehouses...closed...and exchange houses closed with them, because traders could not put a price on their goods. The dollar on the street went up, not down. Baghdad closed Wednesday at 167,000 IQD for $100...The gap is not about the bank's price. It is a queue of Iraqis who cannot get dollars at a bank...Baghdad answered by promising to meet every dollar request for trade, bank cards and travelers without restrictions...Parliament has called the Central Bank governor and the finance minister in to explain. 10-8-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick This [1510 devaluation] is very calculated...They're drawing in USDs off the streets...The biggest factor is those USDs are not flowing over the borders. That's a huge deal... The problem is they put this out there without explaining it to the citizens of Iraq. That's why there's a lot of confusion. This is not a bad thing by any means... 10-8-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen I think not only does this sow a lot of confusion and anger from the Iraqi citizens but...this is going to shake out a lot of people...Iraqi citizens are going to want to exchange their dinars and get back into dollars...Now it's 1510...one of the weakest currencies in the world...The potential they have is off the charts...I think it's...a misinformation, disinformation campaign. It makes zero logical sense to why they would want to weaken the dinar even further...I do think a much larger rate change is on the horizon...The fact that they're taking about this is a huge deal...I think something like this would definitely proceed a major rate change... [Post 2 of 2] 10-8-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen There has been an official change in the Iraqi dinar exchange rate. This change is counter to what you would expect Iraq to do. Iraq has been talking about strengthening...the Iraqi dinar...This policy decision hurts the citizens...Their purchasing power is even less...How is this positive economic change for them? It's not right now. I do believe this is a somewhat brilliant move by the CBI to help pull in even more notes because if you are an Iraqi citizen..you don't know if the central bank is now going to lower the exchange rate even more. So you want to ditch your notes and get the US dollar, which is counter to what you think you know the central bank and the Ministry of Finance would want. They want the citizens to start using dinars. They're not going to use dinars if there's no confidence in it. [Post 1 of 2...stay tuned] 10-8-2026 Newshound Guru Ariel Why You Should Be Excited About This: Eighty-five billion in foreign currency reserves is the war chest that makes a revaluation defensible instead of speculative when the CBI moves the rate, those reserves are the guarantee that the new value holds against any market pressure or speculative attack. Based on the full stack the $85B reserves (28th globally, 3rd in the Arab world per IMF data through mid-2025/Q2 2026), forward oil contracts, gold positioning, non-oil revenue projections, and the measured appreciation posture Washington expects the defensible rate Iraq can post on the Forex this year is 3.85 dinars per dollar. 10-8-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...what if Iraq could sell its oil for dinars? Would this not force the international market to demand dinars? Would the US ever allow this or do they maintain the dollar dependency as leverage with Iraq? When can they finally end this necessity to have this leverage over Iraq? Is Al-Zaidi going to be their savior? These are all questions closely related to see our RV. I am not saying that all these events must occur because remember Dr Shabibi was going to reinstate the dinar way back in 2013 and none of these banking reforms were in place nor any of these other measures done. So, anything can happen for these issues as long as SECRITY and STABILITY are achieved. We have been told over and over again these are the two main ingredients necessary for the reinstatement.

10-7-2026 *** Dinar Guru News Flash*** The Central Bank of Iraq in coordination with the Minister of Finance has decided to change the rate of the Iraqi dinar from 1310 to 1520 per dollar. This is a devaluation not a revaluation and not what we want to see. Could this be a blessing in disguise? Stay tuned in as the Dinar Gurus chime in with what the new 1520 rate means for your dinars...The latest guru post continue below...
10-7-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: "The Central Bank reassures Iraqis: The new exchange rate is a strategic step to enhance financial stability"
10-7-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Devaluing the currency to 1500 doesn't raise the value of their currency to pay the US back for 23 years of services rendered... These are just games being played and optics to mislead and confuse. This is a massive game of Kuwait Syndrome...Stay relaxed. Stay grounded... 10-7-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Say the cut to 1500 is the first move....A step down that is followed by a step up does something an ordinary devaluation never does. It makes leaving the currency expensive. An Iraq that wants its people to save in dinars instead of dollars has to teach that lesson at some point and this is how it is taught...Is this the plan? It is our theory. Nobody at the Central Bank of Iraq has said it...If the dollar...falls back toward the bank's price the theory is working and everyone who fled [the dinar] on Tuesday, sold the currency this plan was built to lift. 10-7-2026 Central Banks Guru Terrance For a country to have to import everything...they need dollars...The more the dollar strengthens and with all this foreign investment coming in, that's going to create a level of inflation for Iraq...They need the currency to revalue [upward] in order for Iraqis not to become poor. This is some of the economics people have to understand. It's not all about us the speculators...It's in Iraq's best interest for Iraq to revalue their currency ahead of all the reforms they want to do. Otherwise it just makes them poor. 10-7-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen You have Iraq openly discussing its exchange rate as part of the 2027 budget process...Why are they addressing the exchange rate right now? I don't remember them ever doing this in previous budgets...It's obviously very critical to their economy but Iraq has a major gap between the official rate and the street rate...You have to read between the lines and look at what Iraq is doing versus what they are saying. 10-7-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: "The citizen's pocket is not the solution": Parliamentary anger over the decision to raise the dollar exchange rate" Quote: "...head of the National Approach bloc, called on the government on Wednesday to reverse its decision to raise the dollar exchange rate and cancel it quickly, warning of its repercussions on various segments of society." 10-7-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man Budget lines are not proof the rate moved. It does not change the rate by itself... 10-7-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 1500 is going in the wrong direction. That number, 1310, should not increase, it should decrease...That number has to get smaller and smaller and smaller to become 1. If it becomes one, then becomes 1 to 1 with the American dollar...The fact that these conversations are occurring concerning [Iraq's] monetary reform is extremely exciting to me because this conversation is exactly the process of what's going on...1500 has nothing to do with the plans of the CBI... 10-7-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Iraq can change the rate as frequently as they want until they have an approved budget...Once the budget is approved the budget is calculate against that currency value that it was approved against. ...Their budget is not approved. They have devalued their currency... Saturday, they could approve the Council of Ministers, the last 9 cabinet ministers and they can change the rate and throw out a new international rate over the weekend. They can do that because the budget is not approved. Right now this is a test of everyone's faith and patience. How much do you have? Everything is optics until the budget is approved...Nothing is locked in until the budget is approved. 10-7-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Iraq lowered the dinar's official rate this morning. The Council of Ministers approved it in Tuesday's session and the Central Bank adopted it: 1,500 IQD to the dollar buying from the Finance Ministry, 1,510 selling to the banks and 1,520 selling to the public. 10-7-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: "A strategic step to enhance financial stability" Quote: "In line with the Central Bank of Iraq and the Federal Government's commitment to achieving sustainable economic stability and ensuring comprehensive development, and based on joint coordination with the Council of Ministers and in accordance with the provisions of the Central Bank Law No. (56) of 2004, as amended, the Central Bank informs the public of the adjustment to the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar, effective Wednesday, October 7, 2026, as follows: Selling price of the dollar to banks: 1510 dinars per dollar. Cash selling price of the dollar to the public: 1520 dinars per dollar." 10-7-2026 Newshound Guru Ariel You Are Hearing It From Official Iraqi Sources...The Cabinet Will Be Completed Next Week...Do you know what Iraq is doing for the 1st time for the 2027 budget? They are completely removing the need to borrow. If Iraq is drowning in a deficit so deep it previously required borrowing laws, how does it suddenly “not need to borrow” unless the value of its existing reserves and projected revenues has been re-calibrated to a new, higher baseline? ...The 2027 budget is being calculated using a new exchange rate. Not 1,310. Not 1,200. A rate where IQD purchasing power compresses that deficit into insignificance. This is why the budget can “include the necessary treatments” without a borrowing law because the currency baseline has shifted. 10-7-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat We know that the only solution is to remove the zeros and they know it...They hesitate because they know it has to be followed very closely with the reinstatement to FOREX... they must already know what they are going to do and how they are going to do it. I firmly believe we may see the beginning of the project to remove the zeros begin in early January 2027, the beginning of a new fiscal year...BE CALM. It is coming but there is still some work to be done prior... [Post 2 of 2] 10-7-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: “THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT REASSURES MARKETS: THERE IS NO DECISION TO CHANGE THE CURRENCY OR REMOVE ZEROS.” Quote: "...the Iraqi government is working on approving a package of measures to stimulate the economy and protect the purchasing power of citizens.”...this all important article is...chock-full of information for us investors...the liquidity issue has come to a new heightened urgency pitch...In the past we learned that there is a needed law to conduct the removing of the zeros...This law is going to be part of a package of measures and will be presented to parliament soon... [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned] 10-6-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff We have Kuwait syndrome...They tried to tell you they've devalued the dinar within the '27 budget. That's nothing more than what Kuwait did...right before they revalued their currency, lying to you, saying, 'We have no intentions of revaluing the currency.' Then BAM, they shortly did it.
10-6-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen This week potentially has the potential to be one of the biggest seeking in the dinar... 10-6-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: "The United States is threatening to put Iraq on the terrorism list" Quote: "United States: If the factions do not surrender their weapons, Iraq will be placed on the list of state sponsors of terrorism..." 10-6-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 I don't want to talk no more about 1500...It's garbage. It's stupid. And it's a waste of time...because that's not what [Iraq] is going to use. End of story...Let the CBI tell you the official rate. They're not saying 1500. That's the end of that conversation about 1500... 10-6-2026 Newshound Guru Samson Article: "PARLIAMENT : THE 2027 BUDGET WILL REACH THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS MONTH" 10-6-2026 Boot-On-The-Ground Guru Omar The cabinet is totally independent from the CBI...The CBI is the one that controls everything... When the cabinet is seated there will be no instant rate change. It's just a part of the process...It is independent from the CBI. They can't do anything about the rate. 10-6-2026 Central Banks Guru Terrance Question "With everything happening so quickly right now do you think Iraq is able to do all of this while maintaining the 1310 dinar exchange rate?" I'm going to disappoint a lot of people...The banks will still get involved with Iraq even at the current program rate of 1310. The banks don't care about the rate. Their involvement is based on the ability to convert dinars to dollars. That is what the banks care about. If they put the money in, they're concerned about getting that money out...They're looking for stability...The rate doesn't necessarily affect the banks. 10-6-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence On Sunday night one outlet reported that Iraq's 2027 budget values $100 at 150,000 IQD. On Monday evening the same outlet carried a currency market spokesman saying the decision will not be implemented. The two stories ran 19 hours apart...The Central Bank of Iraq is the only institution that sets the rate...Nobody with the power to change the IQD's rate has put a name to 150,000. That is where this story stands 2 days in. 10-6-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram The thing I'm concerned about now...there is talk of requiring those of us holding Iraqi dinar banknotes...to satisfy SWIF requirements. Meaning they want a track record or proof or documentation of where and how we got our IQD bank notes. Don't get upset. All of this is just talk right now but it could develop into more than talk. That's why a lot of people are talking about revalue because they know these things are happening behind the curtain...My recommendation... you want to develop a credible documentation on how/when you received or purchased your Iraqi dinars and from whom. 10-6-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff I told you all that news from Channel 8 was complete bull shit. Here you go... Article: "Currency spokesperson denies Dinar Devaluation Rumors Amid Market Panic". All that news yesterday about devaluing the dinar 1500 to a buck was bull shit...Choose your sources wisely friends... 10-6-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen Article: "Proposed budget revision points to planned currency devaluation." Well that's not what we want. We want a revaluation not a devaluation. Quote "...the approval and vote of the Council of Ministers and Parliament are required regarding setting the accounting exchange rate at 1500 IQD per US dollar...although the Ministry of Finance has thoroughly studied the matter, it does not mean this is a final decision." This is not actually happening. This is just a draft proposal. They are proposing moving the exchange rate to 1500 from 1310...It's a proposal...A lot of people are missing that point. 10-6-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: "The 2027 draft budget adopts a rate of 150,000 dinars per 100 dollars... and the Central Bank denies fixing the rate so far" Quote: "Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Dylan Ghafour, revealed on Monday that the draft Iraqi budget for 2027 includes adopting an exchange rate of 150,000 dinars per 100 dollars, in a move that, if approved, would represent a clear change in the rate adopted during previous years...the proposal is still within the draft budget and has not yet been voted on in the Cabinet." 10-6-2026 Newshound Guru Ariel Dinar holders aren’t holding paper, they’re holding a claim ticket on the first sovereign currency revaluation of the post-fiat era, and the window between “everything lined up” and “public announcement” is measured in days, for Iraq’s cabinet completion. Not weeks. 10-6-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] ...some are panicking while others are getting excited...if things play out the way things are shaping up…the way communications say happened last weekend…this will be a big week of structure behind bonds, historic assets etc. and a big weekend with notices for us next weekend…IF it all works out...so we have to watch things play out. |
