The dollar was range-bound in extremely
thin dealings, as the currency markets
wind down ahead of Christmas.
At 1600 it was quoted at DM 1.4400 and,
in terms of sterling, $1.5385, against
1.4390 and 1.5385 at yesterday's close.
The French franc, meanwhile, was steady
in response to Mr Juppe's promise to
uphold a new 0.5% special income levy.
