FOMC Will Put Safe Havens Back In Spotlight. By Nicholas Hastings
A cautious U.S. Federal Reserve should lower global growth expectations and send investors back into safe havens, such as the dollar. Although the U.S. central bank may signal an end to recent quantitative easing, its assessment of the U.S. economy should prove more dovish than the market anticipates.

0 comments Commodity Currencies On The Cusp. By Gary Stride
Only a week ago, the 'commodity' currencies - the Australian, New Zealand and Canadian dollars - were the darlings of the foreign exchange market, riding high on a crest of rallying commodity and equity markets and a new-found appetite for risk.

0 comments Dollar/Yen Rate Snubs Buoyant Tune. By Nicholas Hastings and Katie Martin
Global risk appetite may be driving most major currency pairs -but not dollar/yen just yet. As a safe haven, the Japanese currency has been pushed sharply lower against most other currencies as hopes of a global recovery have encouraged investors to take more risk.

1 comment The SNB Should Be Able To Stand Down Now. By Nicholas Hastings
Relief may finally be on hand for the Swiss National Bank. For the last five months the central bank has been on intervention alert, desperate to prevent the euro from falling back under CHF1.50 and damaging Switzerland's export recovery.
