The euro pushed higher against the U.S. dollar on Monday after Dudley comment, but remained low at 1.0930 amid pressure on Friday disappointing U.S. employment data. New York Fed President William Dudley said that the timing of a future interest rate hike in the U.S. remains uncertain. His comments came after the release of weak U.S. nonfarm report.
