Should You Be Concerned and Prepare?
Absolutely.
When a country intentionally tries to devalue its own currency, the very money in one’s bank account loses purchasing power.
Couple this to the fact that new policies are in place to enforce banks’ ability to confiscate depositor’s assets and you, as a bank depositor, would be foolish to not withdraw your savings (leaving only the minimum required for bills) in banks…
Remember Cyprus and G-SIFI
Last week, Jan-2-2014, Japan’s yen hit a 15-year low of around 5.7360 yuan.
“You’ve got to understand what the threshold of pain for other Asian nations would be,” said David Greene, head of dealing at AFEX Australia.
“From a technical perspective, 112 [for dollar/yen] is possible this year.
Whether other Asian economies such as South Korea see that as negative for their own economies and start to play an intervention role or enter a currency war within the region remains to be seen,” he said. “It’s not something I would like to bet on as we don’t know what central banks are going to do.”

And this “financial war” is a battle America isn’t prepared to win.
Rickards believes that as this conflict escalates, it will “cause oil to skyrocket above $190 a barrel, gold to surge to $3,000 an ounce, and, in its aftermath, it could completely decimate the wealth of millions.”

“Essentially, currencies around the world — dollars, yen, and pounds — are losing their purchasing power.
We all know this as inflation. In normal times, inflation runs around 3%. But if a currency war erupts, it could easily run at 10% to 50% per year.”
