April 1 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar rose the most against the euro in almost two weeks as UBS AG and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. said they're raising $19 billion, bolstering investor confidence in the world's largest financial institutions.
The currency, down 7 percent against the euro in 2008, rose 1.2 percent today, 2.1 percent versus the yen and 1.9 percent against the Swiss franc as some investors concluded credit market losses will diminish. Norway's krone and Canada's dollar fell as oil prices declined for a third day.
