FOREX: The euro displayed little reaction the victory of German Chancellor Schroeder's government in the general elections Sunday. However, the market may interpret the slim victory as injecting some uncertainty into the prospects for labor market reform that would benefit the euro.

While deepening uncertainty about Japan's economy and markets have roiled the yen lately, this week the spotlight could return to the dollar, amid a Federal Reserve policy meeting, festering doubts about the U.S. economic rebound and apprehension about the possibility of military action in Iraq.

Any dollar-negative developments would most likely be reflected in the greenback's performance against the euro, which might make another attempt to regain parity with the dollar, some strategists said.

"The big issue for currency markets is whether weakness we are seeing on the equity side will translate into a slide of consumer confidence," thus weakening domestic consumption, said Marcel Kasumovich, head of G-10 foreign exchange strategy with Merrill Lynch in New York.

But the euro may fare worse than the greenback if traders place more emphasis on the more fragile state of euro-zone economic data and the recent "horrible performance of European bourses," said Thomas Molloy, a trader at Bank Leumi in New York.

Mobilizing for a possible attack on Iraq, U.S. commanders have taken many steps to prepare and deploy their forces, Defense Department and military officials say, The New York Times reported Monday.

E.U. and Asian leaders were expected to call for United Nations approval of any military actions against Iraq, at a two-day summit starting Monday in the Danish capital.
