0 comments The SNB Will Be Back. By Nicholas Hastings
The currency market hasn't seen the last of the Swiss National Bank, or its proxy the Bank for International Settlements. The aggressive intervention by the central bank Wednesday and Thursday proved that the Swiss authorities are committed not only to stopping the franc's rise against the euro but also halting the currency's advance against the dollar.

0 comments Forex Focus: The End Is Nigh For Sterling's Strength
Sterling's rally against the dollar will not last much longer. The currency's gains have been built largely on inflated hopes for the U.K. economy that will soon be proved wrong.

The time has come for the Swiss National Bank to raise its stakes. Sure, the Swiss central bank will probably get the weaker franc it is seeking by the end of this year.

0 comments Sterling Suffering From Overoptimism. By Nicholas Hastings
Sterling has had a cold shower and there is likely to be more to come. The currency is suffering from a classic case of overoptimism. Investors ran ahead with hopes of an early economic recovery in the U.K. that are now proving to be unfounded.

0 comments Euro Fall Is Looking Inevitable. By Nicholas Hastings
Even the euro bulls are losing heart - forecasting that a fall in the single currency against the dollar is now nearly inevitable. At least two major drags on the dollar - risk correlation and fears of reserve diversification - are fading.
