Rajoy "pushes" the euro lower against dolar

Spain’s Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy denied allegations over the weekend that he and his party received secret cash payments from businesses. Spain’s top prosecutor said it may call in Rajoy for questioning if necessary. Opposition parties are calling for Rajoy to resign. The allegations come at a time when the country was just beginning to show signs of convincing investors that its finances are improving. The euro fell to $1.3520 in late trading Monday from $1.3662 late Friday.
