OPEN MARKET RATES: At the weekend, the yen and Swiss franc rose on Friday as oil prices slid and bank shares led global equity markets lower, stoking a fresh wave of bids for low-risk assets. Jitters about the June 23 referendum on Britain's membership in the European Union intensified the scramble for safe-haven investments, analysts said.
A poll by ORB for The Independent paper published on Friday showed the "Leave" camp had a 10-point lead over "Remain." The Swiss franc reached an eight-week peak against the euro at 1.0845 francs per euro. It was last up 0.5 percent at 1.0850 francs.
