Euro edges up to $1.3365

Euro gains a little relief from downward slide, edges up to $1.3365

On Friday April 9, 2010, 2:53 am EDT

BERLIN (AP) -- The euro is slightly higher after sliding for several days on new worries about Greece's debt woes.

The shared European currency edged up to $1.3365 in early European trading Friday from $1.3353 in New York late Thursday.

Greece's borrowing costs have spiked to a record high this week, raising doubts about the effectiveness of a financial rescue plan. However, European Central Bank president Jean-Claude Trichet insisted Thursday that default was "not an issue" for the country.

The British pound was barely changed Friday. It bought $1.5275, compared with $1.5274 the previous evening.

The dollar climbed to 93.53 Japanese yen from 93.40 yen.
