The euro rose to a more than one- month high against the dollar as German lawmakers approved Greece’s latest rescue package amid optimism U.S. politicians will agree on a new budget.
The euro gained versus most major peers as legislators in Germany’s lower house of parliament, or Bundestag, voted 473-100 to ratify an agreement forged among euro-area finance ministers on Nov. 27 to cut the rates on Greece’s bailout loans, suspend interest payments for a decade, give the country more time to repay and engineer a buyback of its bonds.
The yen slid to the weakest in seven months versus the shared currency after data showed Japan’s consumer prices stagnated in October, adding to speculation the central bank will increase stimulus to spur inflation.
The yen fell versus the majority of its 16 most-traded peers as Japan’s consumer prices excluding fresh food were unchanged in October from a year earlier after a 0.1 percent decline in September, the statistics bureau said in Tokyo today. The BOJ has an annual inflation target of 1 percent.
The Japanese currency was set for its biggest monthly decline versus the euro since February as Japan opposition leader Shinzo Abe called for measures to boost inflation. The nation will hold elections on Dec. 16 for the lower house of parliament, which determines who will be prime minister.

RBC also reduced the outlook for U.S. GDP in Q4 from 1.0% y / y to 0.2% on the back of weakening consumer spending in the 4th quarter and the impact of Hurricane Sandy. Market forecasters expected value of 1.7%.

Yesterday the dollar declined for a second day against the euro as U.S. lawmakers publicly wrangled over the spending cuts and tax increases of the so-called fiscal cliff.
The greenback was mixed against higher-yielding currencies after a report showed the U.S. economy grew more than previously estimated in the third quarter and House Speaker John Boehner said “no substantive progress” was made in budget talks.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Democrats were all on the same page on budget talks and Senator Chuck Schumer said there has been progress. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said Boehner’s comments were a “tactic.”
The euro gained against the majority of its 16 most-traded peers as Italy’s benchmark bonds gained for a third day as borrowing costs declined at a debt auction.
Spain’s 10-year bond yield dropped to the lowest level in eight months while similar-maturity Italian yields declined to the least in two years, signaling the debt crisis that has weighed on the shared currency since 2010 may be easing.

The yen slid to a seven-month low versus the euro after data showed Japan’s consumer prices stagnated last month, fanning speculation the central bank will increase stimulus to spur inflation. Japan’s consumer prices excluding fresh food were unchanged in October from a year earlier after a 0.1 percent decline in September, the statistics bureau said in Tokyo today. The BOJ has an annual inflation target of 1 percent. Economy Minister Seiji Maehara said today that concern over Japan’s economy is increasing and that he wants to cooperate with the BOJ to end deflation.
Shinzo Abe, leader of Japan’s opposition Liberal Democratic Party, yesterday reiterated his call for the Bank of Japan to pump unlimited cash into the financial system until inflation reaches 2 percent. Abe’s LDP had an approval rating of 23 percent, compared with 13 percent for the ruling Democratic Party of Japan, the Nikkei newspaper reported yesterday, citing a Nov. 26-28 opinion poll. The nation will hold elections on Dec. 16 for the lower house of parliament.
The dollar was near a one-month low against the euro as Democrats and Republicans wrangled over the spending cuts and tax increases of the so-called fiscal cliff looming for the U.S. in January. U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner offered Republican House Speaker John Boehner a proposal to avert an end-of-the- year fiscal cliff that would trade $1.6 trillion in tax increases for $400 billion in unspecified entitlement-program cuts, a Republican aide said, who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly.
After meeting Geithner yesterday, Boehner said President Barack Obama must “get serious” about the fiscal cliff talks. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said Democrats need a proposal from Republicans on what sort of spending cuts they want.
