The Petrodollar ($) is in Grave Danger

News broke today from the Wall Street Journal that China and Saudi Arabia (via Saudi Aramco) are coming to an agreement for oil purchases denominated in yuan. This would be in direct competition with the US Dollar’s monopoly on oil trade. This change could be a catalyst in kicking the US Dollar from reserve currency status.
