Addition of KSA, UAE, Iran means share has doubled to 42% of crude oil output in 2022. "Saudi pricing oil exports to China and India in non-dollar currencies does not spell the end of the dollar as the international currency of choice,” says ING. Trade within bloc makes trade hard to sanction by West.

Ok, so you agree to sell/exchange beans for oil.

If there is a difference between the value of that to the USD amount then there's an arbitrage opportunity.

Russia is already selling its oil at massive discounts to Brent crude or West Texas price to India and China. You think India isn't profiting when that crude has been refined and it loses its Russia label?

Oh look, it is.

This cheaper oil has found new markets — including India, which now purchases nearly two million barrels a day, roughly 45 percent of its imports, according to the International Energy Agency.

In addition to stoking India’s economy, cheap Russian oil has given India a lucrative business refining that crude and exporting the products to other regions that suddenly need fresh energy supplies. That includes the European Union, which has banned direct oil purchases from Russia.

Again. They do not care. Leaving the influence of the USD is the goal.

Are you too thick to understand this?

Lol, as if people haven't been trying to leave the influence of the dollar since the 60's. Hasn't happened yet

But keep up with the insults, maybe go learn something before you do though. 🤡

You really won't give up on this. Will you.

Why do you care so much?

Is your self esteem tied to the USD?

Is it that anything that paints the USA in a bad light a threat to you?

Ah, so when you have no clue what you're talking about, you deflect and make it about me.

I'm not American, I don't really have strong views on it, but these are just basic facts

You, on the other hand are making wild claims about unseating the dollar with zero references or sources

You're talking out of your arse mate, that's what bothers me. Idiots spreading bullshit.
