The banks of the US, eurozone, Japan, Canada, Britain and Switzerland have agreed to lower the price on existing dollar swaps.

The aim is to pump liquidity into the global financial system, and keep funds flowing through markets rocked by Europe's sovereign debt difficulties.

The unannounced move quickly had a positive and dramatic effect on world markets, driving share prices up by several percentage points.
