LONDON -- The euro rebounded slightly on Tuesday as unrest in France eased overnight, while the pound rose after British jobs data showed signs of a recovery in the labour market. The yen also jumped, snapping a two-day drop, after an auction of longer-dated Japanese bonds drew record demand, pushing the U. S. dollar lower after it rose the day before. In France, authorities set curfews in several cities on Monday to curb nationwide anti-government protests which have plunged President Emmanuel Macron’s final months in office into turmoil. France will remain in the spotlight on Tuesday as the lower house is set to vote on the revenue section of the proposed 2027 budget. Concerns about France’s long-term finances have pushed its bonds lower and weighed on the euro since the start of September. The single currency was last up 0.2 per cent on the day at US$1.1231, after hitting its lowest since May 2025 last week at $1.1113.
