RTRS: Euro extend gains versus dollar, hits session high
Aug 28 (Reuters) - The euro extended gains versus the dollar to hit a session high in early trade on Tuesday buoyed by hopes of bond-buying by the European Central Bank to help troubled economies and expectations of further monetary easing by the Federal Reserve.
The euro climbed as high as $1.2567 on Reuters data and was last up 0.5 percent at $1.2559.
