The euro EURUSD -0.13% turned down to $1.4233 versus $1.4242 in North American trade late Thursday. The dollar index DXY +0.08% , a measure of the U.S. unit against a basket of major currencies, turned up slightly to 75.285 compared to 75.199 Thursday. Yields on 10-year bonds UST10Y -0.93% , which move inversely to prices, fell 4 basis points to 3.19%.
