The Swiss franc has been falling all year and at 0.9928 francs per euro touched the lowest since April 2023 last week. China's yuan finished last week weaker than 7.24 per dollar, its lowest level since early May. The Japanese yen was steady at 156.87 to the dollar on Monday. Source: Qatar News Agency
