[00:00:00]A 36-day journey from a market rookie to a Wall Street Pro. Today, we're looking at the foundation of global trade, the petrodollar. Since the 1970s, the US dollar has remained the world's reserve currency, largely because global oil sales were always denominated in USD.

[00:00:14]This essentially forced every single nation to hold USD reserves. However, through 2026, we're starting to see a bit of a shift. The BRICS nations are starting to settle trades in local currency, and major oil producers are starting to explore off-dollar settlements for the first time in decades. So, if the world needs fewer dollars to buy energy, the demand for USD could potentially drop, leading to a long-term currency devaluation. For your assets, this means that the era of cheap imports for Americans might be ending soon. Professional investors are watching this de-dollarization trend in real time. As historically, people will start to rotate into monetary metals like silver and gold, like we've been seeing for the last couple of years.
