LONDON, Dec 29 (Reuters) - The dollar fell broadly on Monday, eroded by a grim outlook for the U.S. economy and the Federal Reserve pouring liquidity into a battered U.S. banking system.

Sterling continued its downtrend, hitting a record low against a broadly stronger euro as parity with the single currency moved into sharp focus.

The pound also hit a record trough versus a basket of currencies earlier in the global session as a bleak economic backdrop and expectations for UK interest rates to stay well below those in the euro zone weighed heavy.

As the U.S. currency softened, dealers said the Swiss franc gained sharply on heightened geopolitical risk as Israeli warplanes pounded the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip for a third consecutive day. [ID:LT345484].

With U.S. interest rates now at 0-0.25 percent, the U.S. central bank has turned to other ways of boosting growth including flooding the banking system with masses of money.

Analysts say this environment is a bugbear for the dollar from a relative yield perspective compared with the euro zone, where borrowing costs stand at 2.5 percent.

"The fact that rates are so low are a reflection on the state of the U.S. economy and the fact that policy options are becoming very limited. That will be a thorn for the dollar," said Phyllis Papadavid, currency strategist at SocGen in London.

Dealers also cited strength in commodity currencies including the Norwegian crown and Australian dollar as oil CLc1 and gold prices climbed in the wake of hostilities in the Middle East.

By 1140 GMT, the euro had strengthened roughly 2 percent against the dollar to $1.4345 while the U.S. unit shed 2.3 percent against the Swiss franc to 1.0430 francs .

Against the yen, the dollar was down 0.8 percent at 89.95 yen . The dollar also sank 2.1 percent versus the Norwegian crown to 6.9453.

Thin holiday trading conditions exacerbated moves, dealers said.

STERLING POUNDED

The pound tumbled to a record low of 97.98 pence , as dealers eyed parity -- that would be a first since the single European currency's launch in 1999.

Trade-weighted sterling <=GBP> fell to 74.2, the lowest on daily records kept by the Bank of England which date back to 1990.

"Retail sales figures will be closely watched over the coming weeks as the economy hopes to receive a boost from holiday-season sales," said Geoffrey Yu, analyst at UBS in a research note.

"Nevertheless, anecdotal reports continue to suggest limited gains, while other areas of the real economy will continue to see strong challenges."

Higher interest rates in the euro zone have increased the euro's appeal against the pound as it has narrowed the yield spread between euro zone and UK government bonds.

The yield on 10-year UK bonds hovered around 3.114 percent on Monday, near a record low of 3.008 percent hit last week, while the yield on its euro zone counterpart fell to an all-time trough of 2.909 percent. (Reporting by Veronica Brown; Editing by Mike Peacock)

UPDATE 1-Japan's Nakagawa watching forex market with alarm

Mon Dec 29, 2008 2:01am GMT

(Adds details, background)

TOKYO, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Japanese Finance Minister Shoichi Nakagawa said he was watching volatility in the foreign exchange market with alarm, the Financial Times reported on Monday.

The yen has surged more than 18 percent against the U.S. dollar this year, hitting Japanese exporters and triggering speculation the government may intervene to halt the currency's rally.

"The fact is that every day I am looking at the market developments with a sense of alarm and urgency," the paper quoted Nakagawa as saying in an interview in a reference to yen volatility.

Government data up to the end of November has shown that Japanese monetary authorities have not intervened in currency markets since March 2004.

But Japanese officials have recently expressed concern over the impact of the rise in the yen, which hit a 13-year high of 87.13 yen to the dollar in mid-December. The dollar was trading near 90.60 yen on Monday.

Nakagawa dismissed suggestions that Japan will soon need to draw up another fiscal stimulus package, saying extra spending plans finalised this month must be implemented first, the Financial Times said.

"There is no way that we should worry about what we should eat for dinner when we have not had breakfast yet. The good thing to do is to prepare and eat breakfast first," the paper quoted Nakagawa as saying. Nakagawa, however, stressed that stimulus was a much higher priority than addressing Japan's huge debt burden, the FT said.

Japan's outstanding public debt is expected to total about 780 trillion yen ($8.6 trillion) by the end of next March, or roughly 150 percent of the nation's gross domestic product, the highest among major industrialised nations.

"In order to make our public finances more sound, the top priority should be placed on the recovery of the economy," Nakagawa was quoted as saying.

Earlier this month, Japan's cabinet approved an extra budget worth 4.79 trillion yen to fund economic measures to prevent the world's No.2 economy from sliding deeper into recession amid the global financial crisis.

The government plans to submit the extra budget -- its second for the fiscal year to next March -- to parliament on Jan. 5, but it is unclear when it will pass a divided parliament. (Reporting by Masayuki Kitano; Editing by Edwina Gibbs)

And sterling continued its downtrend, hitting a record low against the euro and a basket of currencies in early London trade, as economic gloom and expectations that UK interest rates will fall well below those in the euro zone continued to weigh.

"We're seeing a broader trend of dollar weakness as the effects of the additional easing by the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing means ... it is inconsistent with a stronger currency," said David Powell, currency strategist at Bank of America in London.

By 0840 GMT, the dollar had fallen 1.3 percent against the euro to $1.4248 and by 1.2 percent against the Swiss franc to 1.0555 francs .

Against the yen, the dollar was down 0.2 percent at 90.43 yen .

Some market participants noted caution about potential speculative moves in light trade.

"You need to be careful, or you could end up falling into a hole," said an analyst for a Japanese foreign exchange broker.

STERLING BATTERED

The pound tumbled to an all-time low of 96.98 pence , as dealers eyed parity that would be a first since the single European currency's launch in 1999.

Trade-weighted sterling <=GBP> fell to 74.7, the lowest on daily records kept by the Bank of England which date back to 1990.

"Retail sales figures will be closely watched over the coming weeks as the economy hopes to receive a boost from holiday-season sales," said Geoffrey Yu, analyst at UBS in a research note.

"Nevertheless, anecdotal reports continue to suggest limited gains, while other areas of the real economy will continue to see strong challenges."

British interest rates now stand at 2.0 percent compared with key euro zone rates at 2.5 percent, with UK rates expected to be cut further early next year. (Additional reporting by Masayuki Kitano in Tokyo)

NEW YORK, Dec 29 (Reuters) - The dollar fell broadly on Monday, eroded by a grim outlook for the U.S. economy and concerns Israeli attacks in the Gaza strip will destabilize the Middle East and threaten oil supplies.

Sterling extended last week's declines and hit a record low against the euro, approaching parity with the single currency, after reports pointed to a further slide in UK home prices in 2009.

Investors have generally fled to the dollar in periods of political uncertainty, although that has changed in recent months as the U.S. recession has deepened and government bond yields have sunk to record lows.

"Price action this morning has been driven mainly by a sudden rise in global risk aversion following the attacks in Gaza, which in turn led to a spike in oil and gold," said Matt Esteve, a foreign exchange trader at Tempus Consulting in Washington D.C.

"The dollar is softer across the board, while the Swiss franc and most commodity currencies are advancing. In these low-volume conditions and with the absence of key U.S. data, we may easily see euro/dollar trading back at 1.44," he said

In morning trading in New York, the euro was 1.7 percent higher at $1.4293 , its biggest gain in about a week. The euro traded as high as $1.4361.

The dollar shed 2 percent against the Swiss franc to 1.0469 francs .

Thin holiday trading conditions exacerbated moves, dealers said.

Commodity currencies including the Norwegian crown and Australian dollar rose, tracking a jump in oil CLc1 and gold prices in the wake of hostilities in the Middle East. [ID:nLT459307]

Oil prices rose to as high as $42.20 a barrel earlier and gold prices gained around 1.9 percent to $883 an ounce.

Against the yen, the dollar was down 0.5 percent at 90.27 yen and the U.S. currency sank 1.5 percent versus the Australian dollar to trade at 69.53.

STERLING DECLINES

The pound tumbled against the euro to a record low of 97.99 pence according to Reuters data, as it approached parity for the first time since the single European currency's launch in 1999.

"It seems more and more likely that the pound is going to trade in parity with the euro fairly soon," said Esteve at Tempus Consulting. "We could trade at those levels as early as the start of next week."

Trade-weighted sterling fell earlier to 74.2, the lowest on daily records kept by the Bank of England which date back to 1990.

The euro was headed for a 33 percent gain versus the pound this year, its biggest annual advance ever, on speculation a deepening UK economic slump may prompt the Bank of England to cut interest rates, which at 2 percent are the lowest since 1951.

Higher interest rates in the euro zone have increased the euro's appeal against the pound as it has narrowed the yield spread between euro-zone and UK government bonds.

The yield on 10-year UK bonds were around 3.114 percent on Monday, near a record low of 3.008 percent hit last week, while the yield on its euro zone counterpart fell to an all-time trough of 2.909 percent. (Additional reporting by Veronica Brown in London; Editing by Tom Hals)
