BERLIN, Germany (AP) -- The dollar sank to new lows in Europe Wednesday following a series of dour reports on the U.S. economy and expectations that the Federal Reserve will continue slashing interest rates.

In other trading, the British pound soared to $1.9971 before falling back to $1.9897, up from $1.9862 late Tuesday, while the dollar fell to 106.07 Japanese yen from 107.26 yen.
