The dollar fell to the lowest level versus the euro on Friday, as traders looked for alternatives to the U.S. dollar and fears about the global economy abate. The euro topped $1.4015, up from $1.3904 in late North American trading Thursday. The trading session has no U.S. economic releases. "So as long as global equities remain in consolidation, economic optimism is guarded and fear is curbed, traders have plenty of 'lost' ground to catch up and lift the euro back to $1.45," and show gains for the British pound and Australian dollar, said Ashraf Laidi, chief market strategist at CMC Markets.
