On Monday August 29, much of the Big Apple (i.e., New York City) breathed a huge sight of relief. And not just because flood-bringing tropical storm Irene failed to deliver the "nightmare hurricane" scenario feared by the entire eastern seaboard. The opening to a brand new week also saw the violent stock market storm that has blown through Wall Street since early July taper off into clear skies.

Every time a new wave of the financial crisis thunders over us, it restarts the debate about which of the world currencies is "the safest." Right now is no exception. So far the Swiss franc has emerged as a clear leader, after making new all-time highs against both the euro and U.S. dollar. Even so, the euro and the buck have locked horns as rivals for a while, and thus far neither one is giving up its turf.
