BERLIN (AP) - Signs that the U.S. economy is improving and boosting job prospects helped move the dollar higher against the euro in Thursday trading in Europe.
The 13-nation euro bought $1.3472 in afternoon trading, down from $1.3506 in New York late Wednesday. The British pound sank to $1.9822 from $1.9928 after the Bank of England held its key interest rate steady at 5.5 percent.
The dollar strengthened to 121.52 Japanese yen from 121.01 yen.
