NEW YORK-The eu­ro rose mod­est­ly against the dol­lar yes­ter­day, a day af­ter Greek lead­ers ap­proved sharp cost-cut­ting mea­sures. The cuts were need­ed so that Greece can get a $170 bil­lion bailout pack­age and avoid de­fault­ing on its debt. A de­fault could cause loss­es for Eu­ro­pean banks, hurt oth­er coun­tries that use the eu­ro and dis­rupt glob­al mar­kets. The bud­get mea­sures, ap­proved Sun­day, call for cut­ting gov­ern­ment jobs and slash­ing Greece's min­i­mum wage. Ri­ot­ers took to the streets of Athens dur­ing the vote, burn­ing build­ings and loot­ing stores. (AP)
