Monday's Iraq desk stays on the Central Bank's tightening grip: the CBI governor reiterates that any currency changes fall within the bank's scope, and the CBI pulls the license of Al-Shadhan Company for mediating foreign-currency sales — another enforcement move against the gray market. A Kurdistan delegation is in Baghdad with a list of demands for the 2027 budget. On the money side, central banks bought another 23 metric tons of gold in July — the buying doesn't stop. On the wider board, the USS Abraham Lincoln heads home after being 'sunk' three times in Iran war-games chatter, Zelensky expects the war to grind through winter as Witkoff and Kushner bring an 'upbeat' read out of a Putin meeting, New York rediscovers nuclear power, and the AfD sweeps Saxony-Anhalt. Here's everything on the desk.
