Russia-Ukraine War LIVE Updates | Euro testing support as Ukraine crisis looms over growth

The euro was under pressure on Wednesday as intensifying Russian bombardment of Ukraine's cities and a surging oil price raised investor concerns about a hit to Europe's economy and growth. The common currency briefly fell below support to touch a 21-month low of $1.1090 overnight, before recovering a bit to trade at $1.1131 early in the Asia session. "The risk is a sustained move below $1.1106 if market participants downgrade the Eurozone economic outlook," said Commonwealth Bank of Australia analyst Kim Mundy. Sterling, which fell 0.7% overnight, was also squeezed at $1.3327. The safe-haven yen was firm, tracking a risk-averse mood in other markets and was last just above its 50-day moving average at 114.85 per dollar. Russia's rouble, hammered to a record low of 117 to the dollar on Tuesday as Western sanctions hit, remained on the cheaper side of 100.
