Singapore,

a basket of currencies, the dollar fell to its lowest since April 22 at 98.284.
The
dollar’s sharp decline pushed the euro to a seven-week high early in the
session, before the single European currency pared some gains, last trading at
USD 1.1515.
Sterling
rose 0.34 percent to USD 1.3583, while the yen climbed 0.4 percent to 143.95
per dollar.

in the previous session.
