By Deborah Levine
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The dollar pared losses slightly and Treasury prices slipped more on Friday after the U.S. Labor Department said the economy added 120,000 jobs in November, just a little short of what many analysts and traders expected. U.S. stock futures maintained the bulk of their gains. The dollar index DXY -0.31% , which tracks the U.S. unit against a basket of six major currencies, traded at 78.131, from 78.084 before the data and down versus 78.293 in North American trade late Thursday. The euro [c: cur_eurusd] traded at $1.3505, down from $1.3518 but up from $1.3467. Yields on 10-year notes 10_YEAR +1.86% , which move inversely to prices, rose 6 basis points to 2.15%.
