LONDON, Sept 9 (Reuters) – The euro edged higher on Thursday before an expected reduction in the pace of the European Central Bank’s bond buying, while the dollar held to recent gains as concerns about the global economy sent traders into currencies deemed safer.
The euro rose 0.1% to $1.1825 following a three-day retreat from Friday’s two-month high of $1.1909.
The dollar index was marginally lower at 92.644 , after three consecutive days of rises.
