A BRICS currency has never been more important than it is now. The foundation of the USD as a reserve currency is based on its usage in the trade of oil. With Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Iran (oil producers) and Egypt (controlling the Suez) joining BRICS, there’s a real threat to US currency dominance.

Good. No need to trade oil in US dollars except with the US.

Would even be great if we had no reason to trade oil at all. But that is improbable for the foreseeable future.
