目前石油-黄金-人民币正在形成一个闭环逻辑,人民币购买石油天然气,俄、伊朗、中东用人民币购买中国商品、服务、基建,中国为了增强这些国家持有人民币的信心积极购入黄金。
这个逻辑链条就能把几个重要信号串联起来:
1、中俄贸易往来密切之上还在更密切;
2、中沙、中海合作促进人民币购买能源
3、央行购入黄金增强人民币信用
4、各地方积极开通跨境支付渠道方便人民币回流

But times change, and 2023 may be remembered as the year that this grand bargain began to shift, as a new world energy order between China and the Middle East took shape.
While China has for some time been buying increasing amounts of oil and liquefied natural gas from Iran, Venezuela, Russia and parts of Africa in its own currency, President X’s meeting with Saudi and Gulf Co-operation Council leaders in December marked “the birth of the petroyuan”, as Credit Suisse analyst Zoltan Pozsar put it in a note to clients.
According to Pozsar, “China wants to rewrite the rules of the global energy market”, as part of a larger effort to de-dollarise the so-called Bric countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China, and many other parts of the world after the weaponisation of dollar foreign exchange reserves following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
