Recent PDK / MarkZ community highlights point to an unusually intense convergence of events: emergency banking meetings, precious metals volatility, geopolitical signals, and accelerating political activity in Iraq.

Emergency Meetings and Market Intervention: What’s Being Discussed
Banking and Central Authority Coordination
According to MarkZ, emergency meetings reportedly took place involving:
Bankers
The Federal Reserve
European counterparts
The timing and urgency suggest coordinated responses to market pressure.
Why This Matters
Emergency coordination typically signals:
Systemic stress
Liquidity concerns
Short-position risk exposure
MarkZ notes that whatever actions were taken appear to have temporarily suppressed precious metal prices—particularly silver.
Silver Volatility and Suppression Claims
Key Observations from the Community
Reports of silver spiking intraday before being pushed down
Divergence between paper prices and physical prices, especially in Asia
Claims that Shanghai pricing remained elevated relative to Western markets
Strategic Metal Narrative
China’s actions were highlighted as:
Restricting silver exports
Treating silver as a strategic resource
Mexico was also mentioned as halting certain silver-related deals, reinforcing the idea of tightening physical supply.
Paper Markets vs. Physical Markets
A recurring theme was the contrast between:
Paper derivatives markets (COMEX, CME)
Physical metal availability in Asia
Late-night coordination calls among market regulators were cited as evidence that volatility risks were recognized in advance.
Banking System Stress and Fiat Concerns
MarkZ framed the situation as one of mounting anxiety within traditional banking systems:
Margin calls on short positions
Pressure on liquidity
Attempts to “plug holes” in a weakening system
Historical patterns were referenced, suggesting that precious metals often retain value during early stages of fiat system resets, before later repricing.
Iraq in Focus: Political Acceleration and Legislative Deadlines
Government Formation and Parliamentary Action
MarkZ emphasized rapid developments in Iraq:
Members of Parliament arriving to take oaths
Election of parliamentary leadership
Push to complete key legislation before January 1
These steps point to institutional urgency as Iraq prepares for the next phase.
HCL Law and January 1st Attention
Community members highlighted the Hydrocarbon Law (HCL) as a major priority, with many MPs reportedly racing to finalize it.
Why HCL Matters
Revenue-sharing clarity
Investor confidence
Legal foundation for broader reforms
Although expectations are high, MarkZ cautioned against panic if immediate outcomes are not visible.
Early 2026 Expectations: Optimism With Caution
MarkZ expressed agreement with commentary suggesting:
Normalization rather than sudden change
Alignment with earlier CBI-focused analysis
A broader global pattern of currency and system adjustments around 2026
However, he clearly stated:
He does not set dates
Lack of immediate change does not equal failure
Featured Snippet
Why are markets watching Iraq and precious metals heading into 2026?
Analysts and commentators point to rising banking stress, emergency market coordination, tightening physical metal supply, and accelerated political reforms in Iraq as signals of broader systemic transitions expected around early 2026.
Community Questions and Commentary (Contextualized)
Topics raised included:
Bank stability during fiat stress
Blockchain and digital systems
Tax changes affecting precious metals
Bond market silence as a potential indicator
MarkZ consistently emphasized observation over assumption.
Q&A: PDK / MarkZ Highlights Explained
Q: Are banks about to collapse?
A: No official confirmation exists. Discussions focus on stress signals, not certainties.
Q: Is silver being suppressed?
A: Claims center on paper markets versus physical pricing, particularly in Asia.
Q: Will Iraq have a new exchange rate on January 1?
A: No official confirmation. Expectations exist, but patience is advised.
Q: What should observers do if nothing happens immediately?
A: Stay calm and continue tracking verified developments.
Key Takeaways
Emergency financial coordination suggests elevated stress
Precious metals remain a focal point of concern
Iraq is moving quickly on governance and legislation
Early 2026 is a widely discussed timeframe—but not guaranteed
Conclusion: Watch the Structure, Not the Noise
The PDK / MarkZ highlights reflect heightened global tension, market fragility, and accelerated political action in Iraq. While enthusiasm is understandable, the most reliable approach remains discipline, context, and verification.
Transitions of this scale are rarely linear—and almost never announced in advance.

Member: Great Morning Mark, Mods and Z Family
Member: 3 day count down to 2026!!! Hello everyone
Member: Saw several youtube videos on sliver. Someone is desperately trying to hold silver down. What are you hearing Mark?
MZ: Emergency meetings yesterday between bankers, the Federal Reserve, Europeans …..a huge meeting , a emergency meeting. All hands on deck around 4PM est yesterday afternoon. Whatever they put into play is obviously suppressing metal prices for now. But they cannot affect physical prices in Aisa right now.
MZ: This is getting wild…buckle up.
Member: Silver hit $81.50 at 1:30 (PST) yesterday and has been suppressed ever since.
MZ: Imagine being a banker right now…You know emergency meetings are going on….you know all you shorts are being called…..you know the world is going to crap…..you know the system is crumbling unless they miraculously find more fingers to plug the holes in the dyke. ….but they know their days are numbered. I can only imagine the anxiety they all have.
Member: Crash the Banks …..Bring on Blockchain and QFS
Member: COMEX, CME and the CFTC had a 1:34 am call on Christmas Eve! They SAW what was coming!!!
Member: I think Shanghai is still trading at $89 so what does that tell you
MZ: You can see what China has done to keep silver from fleeing the country. It is a strategic metal.
Member: China starting to restrict international sales on silver
Member: Mexico stopped the Samsung silver deal & several others ... no Silver leaving Mexico
Member: I see this as the dip u talked bout mark last ditch to hold it down an then big run
Member: Hey Mark -Washington state is putting a ten percent tax on silver , starting the beginning of the year
Member: Will silver collapse the banks and fiat currency ….What will a bank failure look like?
MZ: I think they will try to keep it as quiet as they can. Many times in a collapse metal prices survive for awhile as they adjust. Lynette Zang did a good video on this. The question is -When did it begin?” Usually when fiat is resetting and collapsing there is about a 9 month period where metals retain before prices come down. Are we at the beginning of that or half way through it.
MZ: Lynette Zang and What Typically happens and how often we see resets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZioQ3_MFCs&t=13s
Member: (from Dinar Guru) Mnt Goat There is so much real optimism and VERY GOOD news for Iraq and yet there is still lots of propaganda news... As investors in the Iraqi dinar, we need to hear optimistic and truthful news and it is all optimistic let there be no mistake about it...There is much more evidence than not that everything is pointing to early 2026 for them to normalize the dinar and place it back on FOREX to trade...I...can only rely on what my contact in the CBI along with the articles were telling us. They are telling us NOW IS THE TIME!
MZ: I agree 100% with that one.
Member: Frank26 thinks the rate of 1310 will expire on Dec 31st!
Member: Everyone!!! The 29th is setting up the new Govt and perhaps initiating the most important Laws in Iraq. Aka HCL Law. This all goes into affect on 1/1/26. Watching the first few days of 26 for the new rate!
Member: Syria is releasing new currency on Jan. 1
Member: Think about the countries that openly state new currency values coming January 1,2026
MZ: This is the focus in Iraq: “Al Sudani discusses with the deputies of the Ministry of Reconstruction and Development the preparation for the next legislative phase” They are in meetings this morning and trying to seat the new government.
MZ: “ MP’s (Ministers of Parliament) Start to arrive to take the oath of office and elect the presidency of the Parliament” they are pounding things out. “The Speaker of the Parliament and his two deputies will be elected today and there is no extension of the session”
Member: Officially, Parliament elects Adnan Faihan as First Deputy Speaker of the Council
MZ: Many members of Parliament are in a mad dash to finish HCL by Jan 1st. I am very encouraged with what we are seeing in Iraq right now.
Member: It is obvious that January 1st will be the day Iraq goes fully international with a new rate!!! 3 more days brother!!!!!!3 MORE DAYS!!!!
MZ: On the bond side its still quiet. This is usual for a Monday morning.
Member: Are we still going to be able to choose humanitarian projects from a list when we exchange?
MZ: I am being told yes….but don’t think we will know for sure until we exchange.
Member: I believe we will see the RV in the very first quarter of 2026
MZ: Many people believe that….but if we wake up Jan 1 with no new rate yet- Don’t panic….It’s coming.
Member: Have a great day everyone….. Won’t be long before we start off a new and wonderful year!
