Illustration accompanying article on G7 currencies and Japanese yen weakness

“The Japanese yen has just broken through the 160-to-dollar mark, reaching its lowest level since the 1980s. Japan can be seen as a harbinger of what awaits many Western countries: namely, debt on such a scale that normal interest rate hikes are no longer possible and currencies inevitably become worthless.

The current correction in precious metals-as well as in energy-should be viewed as an opportunity. Speculation is still overshadowing the dangers of a renewed outbreak of war with Iran, but this threat is very real. Extreme government debt has often led to war, and extreme private debt incurred for speculative purposes can trigger waves of liquidations. China is taking advantage of the current correction in silver and buying significant amounts of the white metal, while retail investors in the West-especially in the U.S.-are increasingly being forced to sell. A realignment of the financial system is inevitable, and this should allow gold and silver-money without counterparty risk to shine once again.”
