Euro higher at $1.3495 as Greek plan lends support

Euro higher at $1.3495 in European morning trade in wake of EU aid program for Greece

On Monday March 29, 2010, 4:03 am

FRANKFURT (AP) -- The euro is higher against the dollar as a plan to help Greece through its budget difficulty is lending the common currency support.

The 16-nation euro is at $1.3495 in European morning trade Monday, up from $1.3401 late Friday in New York.

The British pound is also higher at $1.5005 from $1.4892, while the dollar is at 92.68 Japanese yen from 92.54.

Last Thursday, European leaders agreed to a plan to provide loans, with help from the International Monetary Fund, to Greece in case it can't raise money from financial markets. The plan covers all eurozone countries and is meant to be used only as a last resort, but has given the euro a boost.

The common currency had fallen to 10-month lows on worries about European countries' debt load.
