By Deborah Levine
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Treasury prices pared a decline and the dollar's loss slimmed on Thursday after a report showed U.S. initial jobless claims jumped more than expected to 386,000 in the latest week. Yields on 10-year notes 10_YEAR +1.47% , which move inversely to prices, rose 1 basis point to 1.51%, from 1.52% before the data. The dollar index EURUSD +0.04% , which tracks the greenback against six major currencies, traded at 82.845, from 82.777 before the report and 82.990 late Wednesday in North America. The euro EURUSD +0.04% rose to $1.2291, from Wednesday's $1.2280. Coming up is the Philadelphia Federal Reserve index and data on existing home sales. Also, the Treasury Department will auction $15 billion in 10-year inflation-indexed debt at negative yields.
