By Deborah Levine
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The dollar extended its decline and Treasury prices came under pressure on Friday after a report said U.S. durable-goods orders fell 1.3% last month Yields on 10-year notes (UST10Y 2.57, +0.02, +0.78%) , which move inversely to prices, rose 3 basis points to 2.58%. The dollar index (DXY 79.55, -0.46, -0.57%) , which tracks the greenback against a basket of major rivals, fell to 79.578, from 79.644 before the data, down from 80.035 late Thursday in North American trading. The euro (EURUSD 1.3427, +0.0115, +0.8639%) rose to $1.3432, compared to $1.3417 earlier and up from $1.3333 Thursday. Still to come is a report expected to show sales of new U.S. homes improved in August.
