TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS
The euro slipped on Monday, extending its biggest weekly decline in more than two months as markets judged the single currency’s double-digit gains this year may be too much for a central bank that is still wary of removing stimulus.
The single currency fell 0.17 percent to $1.1740 against the U.S. dollar, after weakening 0.5 percent last week, its biggest weekly decline since June. 9, according to Reuters data.
It is still up more than 11 percent so far this year, making it the best performing currency in the G10 currency universe.
