OTHER CURRENCIES
The euro fell against the dollar on Monday as the failure of Greek coalition parties to approve terms of a new bailout package fanned fears a disorderly default could spread to other debt-ridden, euro zone countries.
Greece was already past the deadline for finalizing talks on a second financing package, and needed to move urgently.   A meeting of political leaders in Athens was postponed to Tuesday. Greece needs the funds by March to meet big debt repayments.
    The euro was last down 0.2 percent at $1.3116 after hitting a low of $1.3026 after stop-loss orders were tripped below $1.3050.  If the impasse in Greece persists, the euro could target $1.3026, the Feb. 1 trough, and more stop-loss orders were said to be below $1.3020.
    The dollar was down 0.1 percent at 76.48 yen, having earlier risen to 76.79 yen, its highest in over a week.
    The Australian dollar slipped after surprisingly soft Australian retail sales data kept alive expectations of an interest rate cut by the Australian central bank on Tuesday.   The Aussie was last down 0.5 percent to US$1.0720, off the six-month high of $1.0794 hit on Friday.
