HighLights:
Political uncertainty ahead of European elections prompted nervous
investors to sell the euro and kept lower-rated euro zone debt under
pressure on Wednesday while the price of safe-haven gold hit three-
month highs.
Stocks rose in Europe, led by miners after Rio Tinto unveiled forecast-
beating profits and a bigger-than-expected dividend. months before
the final round of France's presidential election, investors are con-
cerned about the strong showing of far-right candidate Marine Le Pen,
who has promised to take France out of the euro zone and to hold a
referendum on European Union membership. Several other front run-
ners are in disarray.
French 10-year government bond yields FR10YT=TWEB , which move
inversely to price, dipped 1 basis point to 1.1 percent but held close to
17-month highs touched on Monday. Low-risk German equiva-
lents DE10YT=TWEB fell 2.3 bps to 0.34 percent.
The dollar, whose predicted path higher has been interrupted lately by uncertainty over U.S. President Donald Trump's eco-
nomic policies, rose 0.2 percent against a basket of other major currencies .DXY .
"The French political noise has brought the euro down and that has given the dollar a reprieve," said Gavin Friend, a strategist
with National Australia Bank in London.
The euro fell another third of a percent against the dollar on Wednesday, as concerns around a resurgence in political risk to
the single currency project drove its worst run of daily losses in almost two months
The yen, however, was up another quarter of a percent at 112.12 per dollar, a move towards the perceived security of Japan
pointing to the growth in concerns around global political risks and the Trump presidency that has dominated recent days.
The dollar was wobbling at the start of this week, a low wages number having quashed bets on a rise in U.S. interest rates in
March and cooled expectations for the scale of monetary tightening this year.
Concerns over the impact on the world economy of President Trump's protectionism and immigration policy have also
weighed on the greenback, along with the new administration's hints that it would prefer a weaker dollar.
Over the last two days, however, that has all played second fiddle to France's presidential election race and question marks
over further international financial support for Greece. The dollar index had its best day in a month on Tuesday and it was up
another 0.3 percent in early deals in Europe on Wednesday.
Both the dollar and yen have drawn some support from a return of nerves around China's yuan following the new year holi-
day. Beijing's foreign exchange reserves unexpectedly fell below the $3-trillion level last month for the first time in nearly six
years.
