TOKYO (Reuters) - The euro extended four-month highs to the U.S. dollar on Thursday, following a surge in European bond yields on Germany's proposed 500 billion euro ($539.85 billion) infrastructure fund and overhaul in borrowing limits.
The greenback wallowed near a four-month trough against a basket of major peers as U.S. President Donald Trump's administration gave a one-month reprieve on auto import levies to Canada and Mexico, again showing how rapidly the trade landscape can shift.
The risk-sensitive sterling and Australian dollar benefitted, with the British currency touching a four-month peak. The Aussie reached a one-week high, buoyed additionally by solid economic growth at home and pledges of more stimulus from top trading partner China.
