SNB surprises markets with aggressive move, EZ crisis intensifies
In a surprising move, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) announced that it will set a floor in EUR/CHF at 1.20. Following the announcement, the pair took off like a rocket ship and is currently up by about 7.76% and trading around 1.2030 after making highs of nearly 1.2190 so far. In its press release, the SNB said it “will enforce this minimum rate with the utmost determination and is prepared to buy foreign currency in unlimited quantities”. The bank went on to say that even at a EUR/CHF rate of 1.20, the franc is still high.

Big Week Ahead in Asia
A mix of thinned holiday markets and poor Euro sentiment led to a poor showing for the single European currency to start the week. A rash of bearish news has helped to drop the Euro today, including word that Greece has not met austerity conditions for a new trance of aid. Also, news out of Germany wasn’t very helpful for the Euro cause either as Chancellor Angela Merkel’s party was defeated in regional elections and questions remain whether a German constitutional court will pull the plug on the constitutionality of the contributions to the Greek bailout.

Markets wait for US inflation data
The mood in the European equity markets is fairly beak. The Dax has sold off sharply and is down nearly 3 per cent. Likewise, the FTSE is lower by more than 2.5 per cent. Europe’s short selling ban on financial stocks doesn’t seem to be having the desired effect, possibly because it doesn’t include derivatives contracts and also because the market is now focused on the weak outlook for global growth.
