The euro rebounded against the dollar today after plunging to a nine-month low yesterday.

Earlier the euro fetched $1.2120, up from $1.2028 in late trade in the United States yesterday.

The euro has fallen about 10 per cent since March, due to sluggish economic growth in the euro zone and growing concerns recently about political cohesion in the region after France and The Netherlands rejected the European Union constitution.
