BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

The Russian Central Bank said on Monday that the share of the Chinese Yuan on the Russian exchange market increased to 39% in March.

This marks the highest share of Yuan Russia's exchange market has ever had. 

On another note, the share of US dollars was recorded at 34% in March, as per the Russian Central Bank.

"The share of transactions with the dollar-ruble currency pair decreased to 34% (in February - 36%). The total share of the yuan (yuan-ruble and dollar-yuan) on the exchange market increased in March to 39% (in February - 37%) of the total trade, which became another record value," the bank’s review of financial market risks read.

An analysis written by Frank Holmes for VettaFi revealed on Monday that the greenback is unlikely to lose its status as the world's global reserve currency any time soon despite that trends of de-dollarization have picked up speed over the past year. 

Even though several countries across the world have been recalibrating their trade policies so as to substitute the US dollar with other currencies, the US dollar maintains its reputation as the safest and most convenient currency in the world. 

As Holmes pointed out in his piece, the share of global central banks' official holdings in US dollars currently stands at 60% nowadays, while that of the Yuan is a mere 2.8% as of September 2022.

A stark difference indeed, but it is worth appreciating the fact that in the span of 20 years, the share of US dollars fell sharply as it stood at 72% in 2001. China, on the other hand, has had its own share double since 2016. 

The case in point is obvious. The credibility of the dollar remains unquestionable, although no predictions can foretell that it may remain the case in the long run. The reason, Holmes explains, is that the strength of the US dollar lies in the dollar-commodity relationship, whereby the price of oil is quoted in US dollars.
