New York - The euro dipped against other major currencies Friday despite improved growth numbers in the ailing eurozone, as the market worries about Greece's debt crisis.
"The euro is mildly softer despite slightly better-than-expected data, and with comments from Greek and German officials signaling willingness to compromise with respect to Greece's reform, budget and debt plans," said Eric Viloria, currency strategist at Wells Fargo Securities.
Official data released Friday showed economic activity in the eurozone was up slightly in the fourth quarter, expanding by a better-than-expected 0.3% after a 0.2% rise in the third quarter.
