[ANNOUNCE]The past period marked the first full-scale trading week of the year, and the activity increased notably among the observed indexes.

The week's main gainer was the Yen's gauge, which showed the worst result in the previous period and now posted its greatest weekly growth since mid-November.

On the other side of the baseline, the Loonie's gauge was in the lead, effectively negating the previous period's skyrocketing move.

As was suggested by the currency indexes, the turbulence on the market returned to the average level after the tranquil holiday weeks. 

Interestingly, three out of the six prominent volatility peaks of the week were reached on the back of news reports rather than economic releases.

The deviations between the weekly and the monthly correlations were not as pronounced as in the previous period, but still scored closer to the strong side, with seven out of ten displayed combinations posting at least 0.10 points shifts between short- and long-term medians.

Most of the prominent changes were related to the bonds between the European currencies, the Yen, and the Greenback. [/ANNOUNCE]
