China's launch of 'petro-yuan' in two months sounds death knell for dollar's dominance

One
of the world’s top energy importers, China, is set to roll out a
yuan-denominated oil contract as early as this year. Analysts call
the plan, announced by Beijing in September, a huge move against the
dollar's global dominance.
The
so-called petro-yuan is a “wake up call” for investors who
haven’t paid attention to the Chinese plans, according to the head
of Graticule Asset Management Asia Adam Levinson, as quoted by
Bloomberg.

Earlier
this year, the Chinese government announced plans to start a crude
oil futures contract priced in yuan and convertible into gold. The
contract will enable the country's trading partners to pay with gold
or to convert yuan into gold without the necessity to keep money in
Chinese assets or turn it into US dollars.
The
new benchmark will reportedly allow exporters, such as Russia, Iran
or Venezuela to avoid US sanctions by trading oil in yuan.

The
analyst said the new contract would be able to serve as a hedging
tool for Chinese corporations, as well as support the government’s
broader plans to extend the use of the national currency in trade
settlement.

to Levinson, Chinese companies might grow into anchor investors in
Saudi Arabia’s initial public offering of its national oil giant,
Saudi Aramco.

At
the same time, some analysts are skeptical of China’s ambitious
plan to create its own benchmark.
“Game
changer it is not — at least not yet. But it is another indicator
of the beginning of the glacial, and I emphasize the word glacial,
decline of the dollar,” said Gal Luft, co-director of the Institute
for the Analysis of Global Security, as quoted by CNBC.
The
end of US dollar hegemony has been a consistent message from Russian
President Vladimir Putin.
“Russia
shares the BRICS countries’ concerns over the unfairness of the
global financial and economic architecture, which does not give due
regard to the growing weight of the emerging economies. We are ready
to work together with our partners to promote international financial
regulatory reforms and to overcome the excessive domination of the
limited number of reserve currencies,” Putin said two months ago
during the BRICs summit in Xiamen.
