The euro gained against the US dollar and yen on Thursday, having tumbled earlier to two-week lows after Spain unveiled its 2013 budget amid persistent uncertainty over whether and when it might ask for an international bailout. The euro last traded at $1.2894, up 0.2 percent and sharply above a trough of $1.2827 hit earlier in the session, which was its lowest since September 12.
The euro has support at the 200-day moving average near $1.2826 and around $1.2740, the 38.2 percent retracement of the July to September rally. Against the yen, the euro fell as low as 99.62 yen, the lowest since September 13. It last traded at 100.14, up 0.1 percent on the day, according to Reuters data. The dollar last traded down 0.1 percent against the yen at 77.64 yen and remains within sight of a seven-month high of 77.13 hit on September 13, the day the Federal Reserve announced a new round of monetary stimulus.
