RPT-Euro extends losses, sheds 1 pct vs U.S. dollar
(Repeats story unchanged, to attach to news alert)
NEW YORK Nov 17 (Reuters) - The euro fell 1 percent against the dollar on Tuesday amid broad strength in the U.S. currency.
Comments on Monday from U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on the dollar contributed to a dulling of risk appetite and caused investors to cut bets against the dollar and in favor of higher-yielding currencies and assets.
The euro was last down 1 percent at $1.4812 EUR= and was on track for its biggest one-day decline since August. (Editing by James Dalgleish)
