United States

The dollar's scorecard in yesterday's trading was as mixed as a bag of nuts! It lost 102 pips to the euro when EUR/USD closed at 1.3474 but gained 34 pips from the Aussie at 1.0117. USD/JPY, on the other hand, remained almost unchanged at 82.37. More...

Euro zone

Switzerland

Without any economic yodels from Switzerland, the Swissy continued to tank against the euro, losing 26 pips in yesterday's trading. Good thing it was able to end the day with a win from the dollar as USD/CHF closed at .9578 after hitting a high of .9662. More...
