India & EU Sign $27 Trillion Deal BYPASSING the Dollar | Now Watch What Happens

Описание: January 27, 2026. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi signed a free trade agreement in New Delhi covering $27 trillion in combined GDP—25% of the global economy. The agreement eliminates tariffs on over 90% of traded goods between India and the European Union, creating a free trade zone of 2 billion people. But here's what mainstream media isn't telling you: this deal allows settlement in euros and rupees, bypassing dollar-based payment systems entirely.


This wasn't a routine trade negotiation. It was an 8-month sprint that began the moment the United States imposed 50% tariffs on Indian goods in August 2025. Instead of compelling India to align with U.S. preferences, the tariff accelerated India's pivot toward Europe—and created the largest trade agreement in history by GDP coverage.


What This Video Reveals:
→ How the India-EU deal creates a $240 billion annual trade corridor settled in euros and rupees, not dollars
→ Why India's textile exports could surge from $7 billion to $40 billion in 5 years (displacing Bangladesh)
→ The hidden beneficiary: China maintains its $94 billion trade surplus with India despite "de-risking" rhetoric
→ How this fits a pattern: the 6th major trade bloc formation since 2022 operating outside U.S.-led frameworks
→ Three probability-weighted scenarios through 2030 (gradual rebalancing 55-65%, accelerated bloc formation 25-35%, strategic reversal 10-15%)
→ Critical indicators to track in the next 30-90 days that will determine which scenario unfolds
→ Why the dollar's reserve share declining from 71% (2000) to 58% (2024) is accelerating, not stabilizing

Critical Indicators to Watch:

30-90 Days:

March 1, 2026: EU Parliament FTA ratification vote (watch for 70%+ support margin)

February-March 2026: Indian rupee strength vs. dollar (currently ~83 INR/USD; watch for strengthening to 80-81)

May 2026: EU customs data on Indian textile imports (watch for 20-30% YoY volume increase)

U.S. Treasury statements on dollar usage in international trade settlements


3-6 Months:

April-June 2026: Bangladesh foreign reserves (currently $33B; watch for decline below $30B signaling balance of payments stress)

June 2026: India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor infrastructure contract announcements

May-July 2026: Any U.S.-India bilateral trade negotiation announcements


Wild Cards:

Bangladesh political collapse (30-40% probability if textile orders cancel 15% by mid-2026)

U.S.-EU trade war escalation (45-55% probability given Trump's Greenland-related tariff threats)

China offers India major trade deficit reduction (25-35% probability; January India-China official meeting suggests groundwork being laid)
