The euro rallied and the dollar retreated on Monday as investors pulled capital away from safe havens after U.S. President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed in principle to meet to discuss the crisis in Ukraine.
The euro rose 0.5% to $1.1376 after losing some ground in early trade while the dollar index shed 0.4% against major currencies.
The Swiss franc lost 0.2% against the euro while Japan's yen gave up most of its early gains to trade at 114.93 per dollar. "The market is likely to keep chasing headlines without any clarity on the eventual outcome," analysts at Barclays cautioned in a note.
