Dollar slips, Treasurys stay down after GDP, claims NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The dollar extended losses and Treasury prices stayed down Thursday after a report said the U.S. economy grew 2.5% in the third quarter. Separately, the Labor Department said 402,000 Americans filed claims for first-time jobless benefits in the latest week. The euro EURUSD +1.07% rose to $1.4056, from $1.4046 before the data and up from $1.3911 in late North American trading on Wednesday. The dollar index DXY -0.92% , which tracks the greenback against six major currencies, fell to 75.475, from 75.505 in morning trading and 76.207 Wednesday. Yields on 10-year notes 10_YEAR +3.58% , which move inversely to prices, stayed up 8 basis points at 2.29%. The dollar was down sharply and bond yields higher before the data in reaction to Europe's plan released late Wednesday to deal with its sovereign debt crisis.
