The dollar got further support Friday from fears of a slowdown in global growth. The U.S. currency hit a one-month high versus the euro, which is used by 16 European countries with a broad range of economic growth outlooks.
The dollar continued its gains from Thursday, when weak U.S. data on jobs and manufacturing drew investors to the U.S. currency, which is considered a haven. Late in New York Friday, the euro fell to $1.2711 from $1.2824 late Thursday after nudging as low as $1.2664 in earlier trading.
