🇺🇸🇨🇳 One war, and the entire dollar-based energy order is being stress-tested at once. Luke Gromen explained how China can rely on months of stockpiled oil reserves, while Europe, Australia, and much of Asia would run short far sooner, and why the UAE floating yuan-based oil pricing is such... show more

🇺🇸🇨🇳 The main function of the petrodollar might be to keep China under U.S. control. Luke Gromen breaks down what Russia, Venezuela, and Iran share in common: they all sell oil to China in yuan, and that threatens everything. "If you can reconvert all oil back to dollars, it's not about backing the dollar. It's about forcing China to have to only buy oil and gas in dollars. And then that puts them back in a vassal economic state of the United States." The strategy makes sense on paper. Whether it works in practice is another question entirely. Luke Gromen

🇺🇸🇨🇳 China has been quietly breaking free from the dollar system for over a decade, and even most in finance missed every sign it was happening. Luke Gromen traces it all back, from the Shanghai Gold Exchange in 2014 to the yuan oil contract in 2018 to record trade surpluses that keep growing even as the yuan strengthens. "China and Russia looked at that, and said 'we've got to get out of the dollar system. We have to create an alternative, otherwise any war that started would be over day one.'" The footprints are in the markets. Most just don't know what to look for. Luke Gromen

BREAKING: 🇷🇺🇨🇳 Russia and China just eliminated the U.S. dollar from their trade. Not reducing. Not limiting. Eliminating. Completely. The two largest challengers to U.S. dominance. Now trading entirely outside the dollar system. Iran: Yuan at Hormuz tolls. Saudi Arabia: switching to Yuan for oil. Russia: Yuan and Rubles for European energy. Now Russia and China: no dollars. Ever. The petrodollar is losing pillars from every direction.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The world economy is being severely strained by the Iran war, and the end of it will just be the start of economic recovery. Luke Gromen says the IRGC hardliners want to keep fighting, because time is on their side. "We're now past borrowed time. We're already starting to see the breakdowns. And the problem is, once the breakdowns really accelerate in the global economy, supply chains, it takes a lot longer to put Humpty Dumpty back together again." Luke Gromen

.Luke Gromen says the U.S. and China are trapped in a system neither side can live with anymore. “The release valve becomes the dollar.” In this episode of The Real Story with Michelle Makori, Gromen lays out why: - gold may need to be revalued against oil - the dollar could be intentionally weakened - gold could rise to $15,000-$22,000 in a monetary reset - and in a true dollar crisis, gold could go 10X from here He also explains why central banks keep buying gold, why China may own far more gold than reported, and where Bitcoin fits into the new monetary order.

China dominates green energy, electric vehicles, and batteries. While the US is bashing its head over oil The US is being laughed at by its biggest rival.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 THE U.S WANTED TO WEAKEN CHINA AND RUSSIA. IT ACHIEVED THE OPPOSITE Ex-CIA Larry Johnson says Iran is now letting only ships that pay in Chinese yuan pass through the Strait. Every barrel sold in yuan accelerates the death of the petrodollar. China gets cheap oil. Iran gets weapons and drone materials. Russia gets record oil prices. The U.S went to war to contain China. China is now the biggest beneficiary. "What the U.S and Israel did on February 28th was launch an unprovoked war of aggression."

🇨🇳 INTERVIEW: “CHINA FOUND A WAY TO BUY OIL WITHOUT USING DOLLARS” Luke Gromen, Macroeconomic Strategist “As China imports more oil at higher prices, it faces the risk of running out of dollars. That could trigger a late-1990s-style Asian currency crisis, forcing them to devalue the yuan and suffer high inflation and falling living standards. To avoid that, China created a workaround. For more than a decade, they’ve built offshore yuan clearing banks and convinced oil exporters to sell in yuan instead of dollars. Russia agreed because China allows those yuan surpluses to be settled in physical gold. It’s simple: Russia sells oil, gets paid in yuan, buys Chinese goods with some of it, and converts the rest into gold. Nobody may fully trust Beijing, but everyone trusts gold.”

🚨🇨🇳 INTERVIEW: THE NEXT WORLD WAR IS BEING FOUGHT WITH GOLD Central banks are buying gold at record speed. China is trading oil in yuan. And the U.S. dollar’s grip on the world is starting to slip. Luke Gromen breaks down how the balance of power is shifting from paper to metal. * How China and Russia are using gold to undermine the dollar * Why America’s debt addiction is forcing the world to look for a plan B * How the yuan-gold trade network could upend global finance * Why Europe’s energy policies are pushing it toward decline * And what happens when the U.S. and China lock into economic warfare that no one can win Gromen says this is not just about money or markets.

🚨🇮🇷🇨🇳 PETROYUAN PUSH: IRAN & CHINA’S OIL REBELLION Iran has offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but there’s a massive catch: all oil must be traded in Chinese Yuan. This isn't just about regional conflict; as Matt Tardio explains, Iran and China are "in bed together" to bypass U.S. sanctions and protect their ballistic missile programs. While the EU takes a $500B hit to its GDP, China is feeling the squeeze after the U.S. disrupted their Venezuelan oil "kickback" schemes. The shadow war for global currency dominance is being fought in the waters of the Gulf. Matt Tardio

🇨🇳 INTERVIEW: “CHINA IS USING GOLD TO CREATE A TRADE LOOP THAT STRENGTHENS ITS ECONOMY” Luke Gromen, Macroeconomic Strategist “China has built a system that rewards its trading partners for holding gold instead of dollars. As gold rises in yuan terms, it preserves and even grows purchasing power for their creditors, which encourages more trade in yuan. At the same time, China restricts physical gold from leaving the mainland. Gold can flow through Hong Kong or Shanghai’s free trade zone, but once it enters China, it stays there. That setup pushes global gold demand higher without depleting their reserves, while also improving domestic balance sheets for Chinese citizens and banks holding gold. It’s a strategic financial loop that boosts trade, strengthens collateral, and reduces dependence on the U.S. dollar.”

Strategic Suicide: Iran’s Historic Blunder. China’s Oil Lifeline Is About to Collapse. The US and Israel struck Iran, but the real shockwave will hit Beijing. This isn’t just another Middle East escalation. Iran is the backbone of China’s West Asia strategy: discounted oil, yuan settlements, sanctions evasion, and a critical Belt and Road anchor. Now missiles have crossed Gulf airspace, Dubai has shut down, and regional alignment is shifting fast. If Iran destabilizes, China loses a sanctioned oil lifeline and a key geopolitical pillar. If Hormuz closes, the energy shock hits Beijing hard.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 Decades of grid and industrial buildout have handed China an edge that election cycles can't answer. Macroeconomic analyst Luke Gromen contrasts planning horizons, with Western policy set by the next vote while power capacity and talent get allocated abroad on a much longer clock. His warning is about what happens when nobody looks far enough ahead, since an economy steered by short-term thinking eventually runs straight into structural problems it never saw approaching.

🇨🇳🇮🇷 Why China Cant Escape The Energy Shock From The Iran War China runs on oil, and half of it comes from the Middle East. Now that supply is being squeezed. China uses 26% of global energy. But here’s the catch most miss: China isn’t fully cut off. Iran is selectively letting ships pass, especially China-linked ones. And there’s more: Iran has signaled ships may pass if oil is paid in yuan. That gives China an edge others don’t have. Still, flows are way below normal. So the pressure is real.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump’s Iran war and “Financial D-Day” are accelerating the very dollar crisis Washington is trying to avoid. Macroeconomic analyst Luke Gromen points out that before the U.S attacked Iran, 10-year Treasury yields were around 3.94% and oil was roughly $62. Now oil is around $86, and the 10-year is pushing 4.7%, a level Luke says has repeatedly forced Washington to intervene in the markets. First came intervention around the yen, then larger Treasury buybacks. Now there's talk of expanding those buybacks further and potentially running down the Treasury General Account to support the long end of the bond market. Luke describes it as plugging holes in a dam: every time Washington sticks its finger into one, another springs open. And now Trump is launching the biggest financial offensive against Iran ever attempted. Luke thinks that's pouring gasoline on the problem, because America's greatest financial weapon is also one of the foundations of its global power: The dollar. Washington can cut countries off from the financial system, freeze reserves, sanction banks, and make it extraordinarily difficult for companies around the world to do business with America's enemies. But every time the U.S demonstrates that another country's dollar assets can be frozen, restricted, or rendered difficult to sell, Luke argues it gives foreign governments another reason to ask a dangerous question: Why are we storing our national wealth in an asset somebody else can decide we aren't allowed to use? And according to Luke, that shift began long before Trump's latest Iran offensive. Luke Gromen
