The French president has called for lower eurozone interest rates, in a speech ahead of the G8 summit in France next month. "Interest rates are low and can continue to fall," President Jacques Chirac said on Wednesday in what is seen as a clear reference to eurozone rates.

Since the start of the year, the euro has also gained about 11% on the dollar, surging beyond its 1999 launch level to around USD 1.17.
