RTRS: Euro hits NY session high vs dlr as Trichet weighs
The euro traded positive against the dollar and hit a New York session high on Tuesday after outgoing European Central Bank president Jean-Claude Trichet said the euro zone common currency is "evidently not in danger" and is a "credible and stable currency."
Trichet also said the ECB's crisis-fighting measures do not increase risks of prices rising faster.
The euro rose to a peak of $1.3666 on electronic platform EBS and was last at $1.3658, up 0.1 percent on the day.
