The euro extended yesterday’s advance against the dollar amid speculation that China will take more steps to boost economic growth, fueling demand for higher-yielding assets.
The 17-nation euro appreciated from within 0.2 percent of its lowest level since July 2010 after polls showed Greece’s pro-bailout parties gaining ground, damping concern the nation will exit the currency bloc. The Australian dollar strengthened against most of its 16 major peers tracked by Bloomberg.
