Rajan surprised us with a rate cut. But the Swiss central bank surprised a whole bunch of FX brokers and punters by abandoning their peg against the Euro. Most developed country 10-year yields are either at zero or negative. Investors are paying the Swiss for the privilege of lending them money!

Thought for the weekend
Concentration produces wealth. Diversification protects it.
Concentration produces innovation. Diversification produces mediocrity.
Make big bets, do fewer things, concentrate your resources.
Don’t hedge, commit.
