TOKYO/LONDON—The euro jumped to a more than three-week peak versus the dollar on Monday, as European Central Bank officials argued for further aggressive monetary tightening and the greenback softened against most majors except the under-fire Japanese yen.
The European common currency rose around 1.5 percent to $1.0198, its highest since Aug. 17, and well up from a 20-year trough of $0.9862 hit last week. It was last up 0.88 percent at $1.01345.
