Euro perks up on Greek hopes, dollar dips

SYDNEY: The euro hovered just under a three-week peak early on Tuesday, having pushed higher overnight as the dollar came under broad pressure and on renewed hopes that cash-strapped Greece was a step closer to securing fresh funding.

The euro climbed as far as $1.0927 and last stood at $1.0879. It is nearing the top-end of a $1.0457-$1.1062 range since hitting a 12-year trough in mid-March.
