FOREX-Dollar falls vs euro on report on OPEC
NEW YORK, Feb 8 (Reuters) - The dollar fell against the euro on Friday after a magazine report said OPEC may adopt the euro and abandon the dollar when pricing oil.
The article quoted the secretary general of the producer group as saying such a switch would "take time."
The euro rose sharply to a session high of $1.4547 from $1.4500 EUR=, where it was shortly before the report. It then settled back at $1.4515, up 0.2 percent on the day.
