Highlanddad, just read that the Swiss were responsible for the Euro rise.

The euros gains today can be partly attributed to the Swiss National Banks sales of the franc, and they probably wont last as European leaders struggle to come up with a common stance on the currency, BNP Paribas SA said. The euro rallied 1.9 percent against the franc.
