It was an unusually quiet day for the Greenback yesterday. With no U.S. reports to dictate direction, the Greenback didn’t know where to go! It dropped against the yen, Swissy, Aussie, and Kiwi, but rose against the euro, pound, and Loonie. It doesn’t get more mixed than that! More…

“Mayday, mayday, Mission 1.3100 accomplished,” said the bears as EUR/USD dropped to its 2-week low at 1.3096 before ending yesterday’s trading at 1.3126. More…

Switzerland
Aha! It looks like Santa came early for the Swissy this year. It tapped a new all-time high against the euro at 1.2635 before finally ending the day with a 101-pip gain at 1.2666.
