By Deborah Levine
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Treasury prices rose and the dollar held onto gains on Friday after the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan index on consumer sentiment fell this month by more than some analysts had predicted. The dollar index (DXY 75.98, +0.32, +0.42%) , which measures the greenback against a basket of six currencies, rose to 75.936, compared to 75.665 in late trading Thursday. The euro (EURUSD 1.4112, -0.0052, -0.3671%) slipped to $1.4127, from $1.4181 Thursday. Yields on 10-year notes (UST10Y 3.39, -0.02, -0.62%) , which move inversely to prices, slipped 2 basis points to 3.39%.
