Most Currencies are up -- The Australian Dollar lead at the top continues to shrink as it slowly declines and the Peso continues its rise. The Krona jumps back into third spot having lost it for a week and the Yen tumbles three places.

At the bottom, the US Dollar and the pound jumped over the Yuan but the Real and Euro remain mired at the bottom of the table.

with all of the currencies in the bottom half showing some signs of improvement -- the exception being the Euro which is still sinking.

The Australian Dollar is being a force of nature -- flooding and a force of economics -- rising inflation in China that leads to anti-inflation measures that also have a downward pressure on their currency. This is likely to be in play for a few more weeks yet so expect some continued easing of the recent highs.

The Mexican Peso continues to rise based on strength in the US and being well placed to produce the goods (cars, TV's) that are seeing growth. There is some concern with its link to the weaker dollar.

With record growth, healthy public finances, booming exports and a soaring krona, Sweden has  skirted Europe's debt woes, but with a worried eye on the aching eurozone observers say it could be rougher sailing ahead. "Crisis? What Crisis," was the headline used last week by a local newspaper reporting that only 20 percent of Swedes say they are at all affected by the ongoing European debt crisis.

The Euro jumped as Analysts said investors were optimistic the European Union's rescue fund will ultimately offer a comprehensive solution to help euro zone countries finance mounting debts.

The Yuan is still mired in concerns about its value and the pressure of inflation within China. It's an up and coming currency but still has a way to go.
