In Switzerland, the Swiss National Bank approved a surprising 1.0% rate cut on Thursday, leaving the Libor Rate at 1%, while the Bank of Japan kept rates on Hold at 0.30%

Stock indexes have declined for four days in a row and on that negative landscape, the Yen and the Dollar have been favoured, appreciatting considerably against other currencies. The USDCAD has reaced 1.2984, the USDJPY has declined throughout the week to reach a 93.5650.
