What happened
Major currencies held steady as investors focused on the US midterm elections. Bitcoin and Ether were experiencing losses after a $6.3 billion heist occurred at Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange. The euro dropped near a 17-month low at $1.1159, weighed down by Fitch revising France's outlook from "stable" to "negative" after Friday's close.
