All eyes have been on the dollar—but gold just exposed another weak link: Japan’s yen. As the Bank of Japan scrambles to defend its currency, gold prices in yen hit all-time highs this week, sending shockwaves through Asian markets. For ordinary Japanese savers, the message is clear: their money buys less, and gold buys security.

This isn’t just a Japanese problem. When one fiat currency cracks, the pressure builds on others. With inflation chipping away at global purchasing power and governments printing to stay afloat, currencies from Argentina to India are seeing similar trends. Meanwhile, gold remains the one thing they can’t inflate.

It’s no coincidence that the smartest investors across continents are shifting out of paper and into metal. If gold is setting records in yen now, how long before it smashes more records in dollars too? America may not feel the full currency squeeze yet—but history says it’s only a matter of time.

Tomorrow, we’ll break down how this gold trend is reshaping global trade deals—especially between BRICS nations.
