I don't see the whole currency war thing. Since Nixon ended the gold standard, $Fiat already died long ago and it's been replaced by assets. Very few people have more than 5 digit savings as they put all their money into housing and stocks.
If $USD is replaced by another currency it wouldn't impact assets much. Look at Eastern European and Chinese real estate, their real estate prices rival or even exceed those of many American areas. Changing the Petro Currency wouldn't change any of that.
Technically if Petro Dollar died it wouldn't impact the elites or the asset holders much, but it would probably make life hard for the working poor with no assets and run away inflation would probably make them riot. "When a man has nothing to lose - he loses it"
Most corporations have well over 5 figures in Fiat (usually fiat equivalents like very short term treasury bonds) to pay for operating expenses and when they cannot invest their money without taking on excess risk.
People should have at least 6 months of savings if they have a steady job or 2 years worth of savings if they are self employed or hold a non-steady job. Granted most people do not have this, but people that have the means do have this before investing a lot in other assets.
Well corporations tend to be very massive entities, so naturally they would keep these sort of savings on hand, but I feel a corporation can react quicker to the demise of the $USD than ordinary middle and working class people who would be largely oblivious.
Corporations with short turnovers would be affected, like many food corporations have a turnover of weeks and thus a sudden loss of the petrodollar could force many businesses out of business.. but your typical big money entities like industry, IT, et cetera, would have plenty of time to adopt.
Honestly the only people who lose out in a real scenario of the end of $USD strength is the working class / non-asset class and the government / military (asset taxes would not make up for the loss in income tax when the currency drops).
