European session: The euro rose

The euro rose to a two-week high against the dollar after a report showed that China's manufacturing index rose this month, adding evidence that the second-largest economy is gaining momentum. According to preliminary data, this index increased in November to the level of 50.4, compared with the final value at the level of 49.5 in October.

The single currency rose against all but two of its 16 major counterparts as the data showed that business activity in the manufacturing rose in November more than economists forecast. At the same time, the composite index of purchasing managers in the euro area in the services sector and in the manufacturing industry amounted to 45.8, up from 45.7 in October, while analysts had expected no change.

The yen fell on speculation that the Japanese elections next month will go to the power of the opposition party, which advocates a more aggressive monetary easing.
