イランはユーロ建て石油市場開設との報道を否定:ロシア国営RIA novosti通信
19:15 | 20/ 03/ 2006
テヘラン、3月20日(RIA ノボスチ通信)-イランは3月20日に、ユーロ建て石油市場を開設する予定であるとの報道を否定した。
イラン石油省の報道官はRIAノボスチ通信にこう語った。「我々はイラン南部のキシュ島の自由貿易地区での石油市場開設に関して情報を持っていない。」「もし市場が開設されたならば我々石油省に連絡があるはずである。」「キシュ島に石油市場が開設される正確な日付は未だに未定である」
幾つかの報道機関は3月20日に、イランの石油市場の取引では通貨が欧州通貨建てに限定されるであろうと報道した。
専門家は、石油代金の支払いがドル建てからユーロ建てに移行することは米国通貨の債務不履行を引き起こすだろうと予測する。現在は全ての取引がドル建てで行われ、米国政府が自国通貨への永遠の需要を維持することを許している。
Iran denies reports it will open euro oil exchange
19:15 | 20/ 03/ 2006
TEHRAN, March 20 (RIA Novosti) - Iran denied Monday media reports that it was to open a euro-based oil exchange.
"We have no information on opening an oil exchange in the free economic zone on Kish Island [southern Iran]," a spokesman for the Iranian Oil Ministry told RIA Novosti.
He said the ministry would have had been informed if the exchange had opened.
The spokesman said the exact date of the oil exchange opening on Kish Island was still unknown.
Some media reported Monday that oil would be traded exclusively in the European currency at the Iranian exchange.
Experts said the transition to euro from dollar in payments for oil could cause a default of the U.S. currency. All oil deals are currently made in dollars, allowing Washington to maintain permanent demand for the national currency.

THE ROVING EYE
A frenzied Persian new year
By Pepe Escobar
TEHRAN - March 20 was to have been the day that Iran was attacked by either the United States or Israel, according to countless doomsday predictions. The fateful date has come and gone, and there has been no replay of "shock and awe".
March 20 was also meant to see the inauguration of the Kish oil bourse, on which Iranian oil will be traded in a basket of currencies, including the euro. But because of "technical glitches", according to the Ministry of Petroleum, the launch has been postponed, with no new date set.
No shock and awe, no oil-bourse shock. Iran, anyway, has come to a standstill. Not because of geopolitics; it is just reconnecting with its rich, pre-Islamic history.
Hardly anything has moved in Iran since Monday night, except a reduced staff at the Ministry of Foreign Relations and a special cell at the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) monitoring the nuclear debate at the United Nations Security Council, where members can't agree on how to respond to Iran.

IRANIAN OIL EXCHANGE IS “ON HOLD”
To begin with, an “I TOLD YOU SO” is warranted, as the Iranian Oil Exchange is delayed by several months, maybe a year. My impassioned “Mosques, Civil War, Oil & Gold” article, dated March 2nd, forewarned on the delay and its side-tracked launch. See postings #1, #2, #3, which some editors found to be too controversial or portions off topic politically to post. The true motives behind the delayed launch are to remain debated. Perhaps a motive was to remove from the landscape yet another bomb target, a very easy target to hit and destroy. However, such delay will not put a stop to the USDollar decline. My source is quoted by the author of the Globe & Mail article, dated 14 March 2006 and cited below, by way of a reliable well-informed personal friend. In that article, John Partridge from the INVESTMENT REPORTER writes:
As the nuclear standoff pitting Iran against the West continues, some conspiracy theorists are more focused on another plan that the Middle Eastern nation is pursuing. But they are jumping the gun if they still figure Iran is within days of launching a new international oil exchange that would sell its own and other Middle Eastern oil producers’ black gold in euros rather than U.S. dollars, and which, the theory goes, could ultimately torpedo the greenback and the U.S. economy. Despite repeated reports over the past 18 months or so that the planned bourse would finally open for business on March 20, 2006 -- and go head to head with the New York Mercantile Exchange and the ICE Futures Exchange in London -- the start date has been postponed by at least several months and maybe more than a year.
“In the middle of 2006, we are able to start the bourse,” Mohammad Asemipur, special adviser on the project to Iran’s Oil Minister, said when reached in Tehran. The plan is to trade petrochemical products first, with a crude oil contract coming last, a rollout that likely will take three years, he said. “Oh, crikey, it’s at a much earlier stage than people would think,” said British consultant Chris Cook, who claims credit for coming up with the idea for the exchange in the first place and is a member of the consortium headed by the Tehran Stock Exchange that is charged with bringing the project to life. “You can rest assured, there will not be a crude oil contract, Gulf-based, in my opinion, within a year -- and that would be really pushing it,” Mr. Cook, a former director of ICE’s predecessor, the International Petroleum Exchange, said when reached in Scotland. The electronic exchange is to be located on Kish Island in the Persian Gulf, an Iranian duty- and tax-free zone.
The euro will benefit from Persian Gulf oil sales, with or without an official oil exchange. The important factors are where key OPEC nations store their surplus money and in what instruments, whom they sell oil to, and how they finance significant capital investments. Future energy sales will be encapsulated in grand contracts. Lately OPEC nations have been pouring money into the Middle East stock markets, but those markets have endured serious selloffs in recent weeks. They have also gone bonkers with a construction boom, complete with the giant amusement park Dubai World and golf courses. As investors exit the Middle Eastern stock markets, young and fragile to be sure, much of their money will find its way to a more stable gold bullion, whose destination has a long reliable history.
