IRAQI DINAR & DONG VIETNAM UPDATE, 11 MAY

Dollars are being sucked up right now in Iran. As well, the Rial has dropped to 67,000 to one US dollar. We’re going to have to keep a close watch on the CBI over the next few weeks Iran has a tendency to suck dollars out of Iraq when it needs them and this could affect the spread. Course if this happens is bad for the CBI cuz it’ll affect its reserves as well it’ll knock the spread out of whack with the IMF forcing them to start over again on the 3 month compliance. Hopefully Iran’s weak currency and lack of dollars does not affect the CBI. They must be pretty confident since they are liberalizing even more. Remember the IMF and US Treasury helped them figure out how to get the spread within compliance last fall.

I’m not exactly sure what he’s talking about here… but it sounds good to me!
