RTRS:Euro adds to gains, climbs 1 pct on day vs U.S. dollar
(Reuters) - The euro rose 1 percent on the day against the dollar on Thursday, hitting a session high as investors speculated that Germany would approve a bill to expand the role of a euro zone bailout fund later in the day.
The single currency rose as high as $1.3679, according to electronic trading platform EBS. Traders cited Asian demand as driving the euro's gains, while a rise in the single currency versus the yen also helped to support it against the dollar.
