Forex: Thursday's review
The euro gained versus the dollar to the highest level in almost a month as German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she’s committed to the shared currency and European Central Bank officials backed the creation of a euro-region finance ministry.
“We don’t have a euro problem in Europe,” Merkel said in a speech in Singapore today on the final day of a three-day Asia trip that also took her to India. “We have more of a debt problem. Financial markets doubt whether some EU states can manage their debt in the long-term.” Germany is committed to the euro, which is stable, she said.
The dollar dropped against the majority of its most-traded peers as weaker economic data, including higher-than-forecast jobless claims, added to speculation the nation’s recovery is slowing. The yen was lower against the euro as Japan’s Prime Minister Naoto Kan survived a no-confidence vote after offering to step down once his work to lead a recovery from March’s earthquake is accomplished.
