NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Treasury prices and the dollar held onto gains on Friday after a report showed U.S. retail sales rose 0.4% in July, a little less than analysts expected. Separately, the Labor Department said its consumer price index rose 0.3% last month. Excluding food and energy, inflation rose 0.1%. The euro (EURUSD 1.2815, -0.0008, -0.0624%) fell to $1.2805, down from $1.2834 late Thursday. The dollar index (DXY 82.60, -0.03, -0.04%) , a measure of the U.S. unit against a basket of major currencies, fell 0.1% to 82.704. Yields on 10-year notes (UST10Y 2.71, -0.04, -1.31%) , which move inversely to prices, fell 5 basis points to 2.70%. Still to come is data on consumer sentiment.
