NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The dollar pared its advance and Treasury prices held onto gains on Friday after an index on U.S. consumer sentiment fell to 67.7 this month. A separate report showed manufacturing in the Chicago region improved this month. Yields on 10-year notes (UST10Y 2.63, -0.03, -1.24%) , which move inversely to prices, fell 5 basis points to 2.62%. The dollar index (DXY 77.27, -0.04, -0.05%) , which measures the U.S. unit against a basket of six major currencies, traded at 77.264, compared to 77.364 before the report and up from 77.255 in late North American trading on Thursday. The euro (EURUSD 1.3907, -0.0017, -0.1221%) fell to $1.3910, from $1.3888 earlier and versus $1.3939 late Thursday.
