The euro gained for a second day following a meeting of French President Nicolas Sarkozy with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, when Sarkozy said a “breakthrough” had been made on the Greek debt crisis.
Sarkozy told that a solution involving holders of Greek bonds in a new rescue package for the indebted nation has been found. The chancellor said Germany would work with the ECB on the compromise deal.
The euro-area currency fell earlier today on concern a Greek debt default could spread to other indebted nations in the bloc.
