-->>President Vladimir Putin said Thursday Russia could switch its trade in oil from dollars to euros, a move that could have far-reaching repercussions for the global balance of power -- potentially hurting the U.S. dollar and economy and providing a massive boost to the euro zone.
>"We do not rule out that it is possible. That would be interesting for our European partners," Putin said at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in the Urals town of Yekaterinburg, where the two leaders conducted two-day talks...
>Putin's words come in the wake of a protracted drive by the EU to attract more countries' trade and currency reserves into euros, in a bid to chip away at U.S. hegemony over the global economy and money supply...
>A move by Russia, as the world's second largest oil exporter, to trade oil in euros, could provoke a chain reaction among other oil producers currently mulling a switch and would further boost the euro's gradually growing share of global currency reserves.
>
>dieser Schritt wurde von mehreren Ă-lexporteuren zwar schon angedroht, aber bislang ausser dem Irak noch von keinem verwirklicht. Wenn dies wirklich passieren sollte, dann wird es spannend!
>Man beachte auch die Rubelaufwertung gegenĂźber dem Dollar die letzten Tage, die dortige Zentralbank hat jedenfalls nicht interveniert.
>
>Plus die heutige Aufforderung des OPEC-Skretärs, dass die USA doch bitte ihre Notfallvorräte angreifen sollten.
>stay tuned!
