    JPY: The Yen rose buoyed by Japanese fund repatriation and buying by Japanese exporters

    CHF: The Swiss franc traded lower against the dollar and euro but remained in a tight range against both currencies. It had been bought heavily by safe-haven investors as debt crises in the euro zone and the United States deepened until the Swiss National bank capped the franc at 1.20 per euro on Sept 6. It has been close to that mark since.

    ZAR: South Africa’s rand held its gains of the past session against the dollar and could struggle to firm further as there is still no resolution to the euro zone debt crisis that has kept market jittery. The Rand has gained 6% this week, recovering from 28 month low of 8.4950 on hopes that policymakers were working on boosting the Euro zone bailout’s funds.
