The euro fell 0.53% against the dollar on Wednesday to $1.1198, gradually approaching the 17-month low set on Monday. The pound fell 0.42% against the dollar to $1.3216, although sterling at one point rose to its highest level against the euro since June 2025.As for the yen, the dollar edged down 0.09% against the yen to 157.95.
