Euro higher

Published September 12, 2007

LONDON, Sept 11: The euro skirted its record high against the dollar here on Tuesday as the greenback suffered from concern over the health of the US economy and expectations of a cut in US interest rates.

The single European currency in late-day trade was at $1.3838 after $1.3797 late Monday in New York. But the euro at one point rose to $1.3848, close its July 24th record of $1.3852.

The dollar was meanwhile trading at 113.94 Japanese yen against 113.69 on Monday.—AFP
