In Paris, where a complex two-tier system separates fixed-rate international trade and business dollars from tourist and capital investment dollars, the U.S. currency stayed within 3% of parity for free-floating transactions. In London, the pound reached only 3% above parity. With pressure on the yen relieved, however, Europeans grew concerned that their own currencies...
