The euro touched two-month lows against the dollar and Swiss franc as European finance ministers struggled to agree on how to provide additional aid for Greece.
The 17-nation currency erased losses against the greenback climbed as U.S. stocks rose amid an increase in risk appetite. The dollar and yen gained versus most major peers after euro-area policy makers gave Greece two extra years to lower its budget deficit.
Euro-area finance ministers will reconvene in an “extraordinary meeting” next week to discuss Greece’s financing needs, according to a statement read out by Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker at the conclusion of a gathering in Brussels late yesterday. International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde said after the meeting that Greece’s creditors had “different views.”
The finance ministers put off until Nov. 20 a decision on how to cover additional Greek needs of as much as 32.6 billion euros ($41 billion). Lagarde disagreed with a decision by the officials to postpone the goal of getting Greece’s debt down to 120 percent of GDP by two years, until 2022.
A gauge of German investor sentiment unexpectedly fell. The ZEW Center for European Economic Research in Mannheim said its index of investor confidence, which is designed to predict economic developments six months in advance, dropped to minus 15.7, from minus 11.5 in October. Economists forecast an increase to minus 10.
The pound advanced versus most major peers after a report showed U.K. inflation accelerated more than economists forecast in October. U.K. consumer prices rose 2.7 percent from a year earlier, compared with 2.2 percent in September, the Office for National Statistics said in London today. Inflation was forecast to quicken to 2.4 percent.

Yesterday the euro traded close to a two-month low against the dollar as a draft policy makers’ report said Greece may require an extra $15 billion during the next two years and there are “very large risks.”
Europe’s shared currency traded at almost a one-month low against the yen after the report about the so-called troika as European leaders prepare to meet to seek a plan to maintain Greece’s solvency. Giving Greece a two-year extension to meet budget targets would ease the impact of austerity measures, the troika said.
The Australian dollar rallied after a bigger- than-estimated trade surplus in China improved prospects for commodity exports. China’s exports exceeded imports by $32 billion in October, the customs administration said Nov. 10, compared with a $27.3 billion trade surplus estimated by economists. China is Australia’s biggest trading partner.
The pound fell amid speculation the Bank of England’s latest growth and inflation projections may lead to more asset purchases. The Bank of England’s quarterly report is due in two days and may provide room for further asset purchases to boost growth. The central bank refrained from adding more stimulus at its most recent policy meeting, minutes from which are due next week.

The euro fell to a two-month low as finance ministers from the currency bloc struggled to agree on Greek aid, curbing demand for the common currency. The 17-nation euro slid versus most of its major peers after Luxembourg’s Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker said the ministers will meet again on Nov. 20 to discuss Greece, putting off a decision on how to cover the nation’s need for additional financing of as much as 32.6 billion euros ($41 billion). Euro-area finance ministers will gather in an “extraordinary meeting” next week to discuss Greece’s financing needs, they said in a statement, read out by Juncker at the conclusion of a meeting in Brussels. The ministers also granted Greece until 2016 to cut the deficit to 2 percent of gross domestic product.
In Germany, the ZEW Center for European Economic Research’s gauge assessing the current economic situation probably fell to 8 this month, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News before today’s report. That would be the lowest since June 2010 and compares with a reading of 10 in October. Its index of investor and analyst expectations, which aims to predict economic developments six months in advance, may have recovered to minus 10 in November from minus 11.5 in the previous month, a separate poll showed.
The yen gained against all of its most-traded counterparts, reversing an earlier drop, as Asian shares slid. A report yesterday showed the nation’s economy shrank in the third quarter by the most since last year’s earthquake. Today, the Trade Ministry released final figures on industrial output, which confirmed that it weakened 4.1 percent in September from the prior month, the biggest drop since March 2011.
EUR / USD: during the Asian session the pair fell to $ 1.2670.
GBP / USD: during the Asian session the pair fell to $ 1.5855.
USD / JPY: during the Asian session the pair fell to Y79.20.
