SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The dollar recovered some gains and Treasury prices turned down on Thursday after data showing U.S. retail sales rose 0.3% in November, less than some economists forecast. A separate report showed jobless claims unexpectedly fell to 343,000 in the latest week. The dollar index DXY -0.03% , which measures the greenback's performance against a basket of six major currencies, rose to 79.914, from 79.880 before the data and 79.858 in North America late Wednesday. The euro EURUSD -0.0788% slipped to $1.3066 from $1.3070 late Wednesday. Yields on 10-year notes 10_YEAR +0.29% , which move inversely to prices, turned up 1 basis point to 1.71%. Thirty-year bonds 30_YEAR +0.55% also came under slight pressure ahead of an auction of the securities.
