By Deborah Levine
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Treasury prices turned back up on Thursday and the dollar fell further after a report showed U.S. first-time jobless claims unexpectedly rose to 380,000 in the latest week. A separate report said produce prices were unchanged in March, while economists forecast an increase. The euro EURUSD +0.3565% rose to $1.3161, from $1.3102 in late North American trade on Wednesday. The dollar index DXY -0.28% , which measures the U.S. unit against a basket of six major currencies, traded at 79.494, from 79.524 before the data and down versus 79.791 Wednesday. Yields on 10-year notes 10_YEAR -0.10% , which move inversely to prices, fell 1 basis point to 2.03%. Coming up is the Treasury Department's sale of 30-year bonds 30_YEAR -0.03% .
