The dollar continued to hammer the slumping euro on Monday, supported by a better-than-expecting reading on U.S. manufacturing and concerns that Greece is on the verge of default.
Greece, which needs 8 billion euro from its neighbors to make its next payment, admitted that it will miss its 2011-12 deficit targets set by the EU and International Monetary Fund as part of the country’s bailout.
It is feared that Europe’s banking system may be threatened if Greece restructures its debt. European officials have worked feverishly in the past few weeks to buy time to put in place a plan to stave off a wider crisis.
The dollar jumped to $1.3230 versus the euro, its highest since early January. The buck is up more than 12 cents compared to late August.
The buck rose to a weekly high of $1.5460 versus the sterling, edging near a yearly high of $1.5327.
Early gains helped the dollar stay near its yearly highs above C$1.05 versus its Canadian counterpart.
