Am I being naive in thinking that the usa must do well out of everyone having dollars to trade with?
 and as the price of oil goes up then the more DOLLARS the rest of the world will spend, I was under the assumption that the US economy was supported by this, I guess the question is how much of a difference will the bourse make?

and will venezuela be trading on the iranian oil bourse? or is it more for local oil producers

I meant to say "having to have dollars"

I was thinking mabye the nuclear thing is good for Iran because they have chosen to use it as a bargaining chip, they can back down whenever they want, mabye the opening of the bourse in return for no nuclear??

oh its getting late, fuzzy thinking

thanks for posting this

My understanding is the Iranian Oil Bourse is intended as a regional exchange serving the middle east and central asia.  As for buy-in from Iran's neighbours, who knows?
