With little mention of tapering of the quantitative easing programme released from the FOMC minutes, the markets took this as a positive sign and investors started buying the so-called riskier currencies, with the emerging market currencies doing particularly well. Also, in line with the Euro’s strong week we saw the Scandinavian currencies have a positive finish to the week as fears surrounding the Eurozone crisis quietened down and the higher interest rates of these currencies attracted investors.
