On Tuesday the PBOC (China’s central bank) devalued their currency by almost 2%, and it has fallen almost 6% over the last three days.  This is having a rippling effect across world markets and many believe this will reignite the world currency wars, which is when a nation’s central bank purposely devalues their currencies to make their exports more affordable and attractive.  The following articles and interviews (most are 2-3 mins) will provide you with insight into the effects of these changes in world markets and economies.  Especially listen to the first interview and the head of Merrill Lynch Currency Research.
