LONDON—The euro dipped on Monday after a surge last week that followed a hawkish shift by the European Central Bank, as traders turned to the dollar betting the jump in U.S. jobs created in January could lead to faster Federal Reserve rate hikes.

The European common currency dropped 0.2 percent to as low as $1.1415, having hit its highest since mid-January on Friday.
