NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The dollar pared a loss against the euro and Treasury prices remained down slightly on Thursday after a report said U.S. jobless claims fell in the latest week to 358,000. The dollar index DXY -0.14% , which measures the greenback against a basket of six currencies, rose to 78.638, from 78.499 before the data and 78.589 in late North American trading on Wednesday. The euro EURUSD +0.16% traded at $1.3268, erasing a brief gain compared to $1.3264. Yields on 10-year notes 10_YEAR +2.82% stayed up 1 basis point to 2.04%. The euro jumped after a media report that Greek politicians would announce an austerity deal shortly. European Central Bank President Mario Draghi also begins his press conference around the same time, and is being looked to for clues about future lending operations and contributing to reducing Greece's debt load.
