Euro, pound edge lower against US dollar

The euro and pound edged down against the U.S. dollar on Thursday as markets awaited interest rate
decisions from the European Central Bank and the Bank of
England.
The 15-nation euro bought US$1.4619 in morning European
trading, a little below its level of US$1.4628 in New York
late Wednesday. The pound declined to US$1.9570 from
US$1.9601.
The dollar was barely changed Thursday against the
Japanese currency. It bought 106.57 yen, compared with
106.58 yen late Wednesday, the Associated Press reported.
