The euro declined to 1.0613 against the greenback and 1.4452 against the loonie, off its early highs of 1.0672 and 1.4509, respectively. The euro may find support around 1.05 against the greenback and 1.42 against the loonie.

The euro weakened to 0.9990 against the franc and 144.92 against the yen, after climbing to more than a 4-week high of 1.0041 and more than a 2-month high of 145.56, respectively in early deals. The euro is seen finding support around 0.98 against the franc and 143.00 against the yen.

The euro retreated to 1.5764 against the aussie and 1.7063 against the kiwi, from its prior highs of 1.5825 and 1.7110, respectively. The euro is poised to test support around 1.55 against the aussie and 1.69 against the kiwi.
