The euro fell  as German business confidence slid and manufacturing shrank, stoking concern fallout from the debt crisis is spreading.

Europe’s currency dropped as European leaders clashed over joint bond sales at a summit and offered no immediate relief for recession-wracked Spain.

A German index based on a survey of purchasing managers in the manufacturing industry declined to 45 this month from 46.2 in April, Markit Economics said today. Economists forecast a reading of 47. The Munich- based Ifo institute said its German business climate index dropped to 106.9 in May from 109.9 a month earlier. Economists predicted 109.4.


EUR/USD: the pair was limited of $1,2515-$ 1,2600.


GBP/USD: the pair showed low in $1,5640 area. Later the rate restored in $1,5680 area.


USD/JPY: the pair was limited Y79.30-Y79.60.
