Dollar Gains Ground

The dollar finished slightly higher Monday against leading currencies amid further speculation that Europe is headed for another round of interest rate cuts.

A German monetary official’s comments that there was room for lower rates helped the dollar against the mark, which would suffer if German investments paid lower yields.

The dollar remained flat against the Japanese yen as traders speculated that political changes there would lead to a stronger economy.
