The Swiss franc slipped today against the euro after Axel Weber said that the European Central Bank should end its bonds-purchase program. The franc also fell after reaching the record high level versus the US dollar.

The Swiss franc reached parity with the US dollar today for the first time since December 4th 2009 as the demand for the safety grew on the concerns for the global recovery and the stocks declined.

The U.S. dollar entered another day of losses versus most of the 16 main traded currencies as stocks worldwide continued to rally, raising investors’ confidence to purchase assets in emergent-markets and other higher-yielding options.
