The euro fell to its lowest in six months on Monday as last week’s attacks in Paris hit risk appetite.
Figures showing the eurozone economy grew by just 0.3 per cent in the third quarter had already dented demand for the single currency.
The euro sank to its weakest against the yen since April and was down to a three-month low versus the pound - a level just above an eight-year trough.
European Central Bank president Mario Draghi is due to speak later on Monday, with investors looking for any further clues about possible monetary policy changes.
Last week Draghi gave a clear signal the central bank is preparing additional stimulus measures for its next meeting in December.
The euro was also close to last Tuesday’s seven-month lows versus the dollar as remarks from Fed vice chair Stanley Fischer suggest the US central bank is close to raising rates next month.
