NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Treasury prices and the dollar held onto gains on Friday after a private gauge of consumer sentiment rose more than expected for the month, according to media reports. The dollar index which measures the greenback against a basket of six currencies, rose to 77.394, from 77.326 before the data and up from 77.086 in late North American trading Thursday. The euro (EURUSD 1.3733, -0.0066, -0.4784%) slipped to $1.3731, versus $1.3746 earlier and down from $1.3802 Thursday. Yields on 10-year notes (UST10Y 3.44, -0.01, -0.17%) , which move inversely to prices, fell 1 basis point to 3.45%.
