“Just over a week ago, the Swiss National Bank shocked markets by announcing that, with immediate effect, it would no longer fix its currency – the franc – against the euro. That led to a surge in the value of the franc against the euro, at one point by 30%. It also caught some currency brokers by surprise – many of whose customers could not afford to settle their accounts. The broker Alpari UK, which sponsors West Ham United football club, collapsed into administration as a result, while IG Index said its potential losses were £30m. Now the Danish-controlled Saxo bank said that its losses could reach about £70m.”
