LONDON—The euro rose on Friday after Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some progress in Moscow’s talks with Ukraine.

Even if Putin provided no details, the euro rose 0.4 percent to $1.1043 minutes after Putin said in a meeting with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko that talks continued practically on daily basis.
