   On Monday, the Moscow Exchange announced it will stop accepting US dollars as collateral on the foreign exchange and securities market from August 29.
   
   The exchange did not explain the new policy or provide further details, but it had already limited the use of the greenback as collateral to 25% from 50% earlier in August. The Moscow Exchange is the largest exchange in Russia.

   "The Kremlin may have been surprised by the unity with which the U.S. and its allies acted. Experts said that Russian leaders likely assumed that it would be cut off from the dollar after invading Ukraine — indeed, Russian has, for years, been taking steps to insulate itself from the dollar.
   
   However, the Kremlin did so on the assumption that other global currencies, primarily the euro, but also the Japanese yen and the British pound, would remain available to it."
   
   yes the u.s. has many allies guys. worldwide.
