from his position as a chairman of the SNB, increasing doubts in the
central
bank's ability to hold the 1.2 floor level in EUR/CHF. Later S&P cut

several eurozone countries' credit ratings, adding more concerns to
the euro
situation, which was already quite uneasy. Nevertheless, Greece
continues
discussions its debt "haircut" with the creditors but the talks end
up with
little success. Federal Reserve announces
<http://www.earnforex.com/blog/2012/01/eurusd-at-monthly-high-as-fomc-pledges-keep-low-rates-till-late-2014/?utm_source=n201202&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=n201202>

that it will keep the interest rates at the current near-zero level
at least
until late 2014.
