Monday's desk is stacked with the stuff this room lives for. An economic advisor says Baghdad is actively studying a currency change to boost liquidity and strengthen the dinar, Erbil and Baghdad are in the final stretch on unifying the customs tariff, and the word on government completion is now pointing at mid-August. Layer in China pulling the plug on paper gold and Tehran-aligned militants testing the U.S.–Iran 'pause' by hitting Aramco's Abqaiq facility, and you've got a Monday worth a second cup.
