Euro Hits 17-Month Low

Euro slides to 17-month low as fiscal concerns and security threats mount.

The euro has fallen to a 17-month low due to concerns over fiscal and political issues. US bombers have been removed from an RAF base in response to a suspected terrorist attack, and London's multimillion-pound homes face a new threat. Concerns about Spain's government preparing for an early election have also negatively impacted France's bond market. The Pentagon has removed all American bombers from RAF Fairford, which was used in the military campaign against Iran. This move was reportedly taken with unusual urgency after new threats linked to Iran emerged.
