Events In Russia, Germany Stymie Dollar
The dollar fell against key currencies Monday, losing some of its safe-haven allure as traders speculated incumbent Boris Yeltsin will win the runoff presidential election in Russia.
Going into the weekend, the dollar had strengthened against the mark, partly on market concern that Yeltsin might lose the Sunday election to Communist rival Gennady Zyuganov.
