EUR makes a run up

USD/Majors: EUR made a run up to challenge the 1.3800 handle during afternoon trading on positive comments from ECB officials stating their confidence in the Eurozone but gains proved to be on a slippery slope with Russian names seen to be capping advances. GBP clawed back its recent losses after retail sales came out better than expected but short term stops above 1.5800 still untouched at time of writing. USDCHF was largely unchanged after SNB elected to keep its interest rate policy unchanged.
