Swiss franc tracks euro down

18 Apr, 2012

The euro touched two-month lows against the dollar on Monday ahead of Spanish bond auctions on Thursday. Any sign that 10-year yields are heading closer to 7 percent - a level regarded as unsustainable - could prompt further euro weakness.
The franc fell 0.2 percent against the dollar to trade at 0.9171 compared to the New York close. The franc was flat against the euro at 1.202.
