By Myra P. Saefong
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The dollar climbed Friday to trade near the day's high as a turn lower in U.S. stocks helped buoy investor interest in the safe-haven currency. The dollar index DXY +0.58% , which tracks the greenback against a basket of six rivals, rose to 76.742 from 75.259 in North American trade late Thursday. The index briefly pared gains after news of a rise in U.S. September consumer sentiment.
