"RMB Yuan per barrel." Get used to those words. (Screenshot: INE.cn)
Last week's walk-thru must have been successful. LIVE quotes of the Shanghai oil futures contract are now rolling at the website INE.cn [linked here]. The news circular posted on the website March 23, 2018 has already set the initial price of the contracts:

It already feels weird to see those words "yuan per barrel."

An older photo of one of the numerous occasions of Xi and Putin toasting another agreement, another memo of understanding, another brick in the long path towards de-dollarization.
Have the birds stopped singing? Has the sun stopped shining? (Well unless you're on the east coast.) Has the apocalypse begun? No, nor will it. America will do what it's best at: sleeping. Not taking any notice. Secure in the self-delusion of exceptionality.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world has moved on. Putin is no idiot and I have no doubt that his attitude today is similar to the one expressed while waving off his Russian officers who wanted to toast a Chechnyan victory:
"But ahead of us, we have many problems and big challenges. Let's have a bite to eat and get to work."
Many hurdles await, but, so far, the path ahead looks golden.

Got Yuan? We got Oil. (INE.cn)
