MW: Dollar, Treasurys lose on GDP revisions, claims
By Deborah Levine
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - The dollar extended losses and Treasury prices pared their small gain on Thursday after third-quarter growth was revised up more than expected. Separately, a report showed first-time jobless claims in the U.S. rose in the latest week to 361,000. The dollar index DXY -0.26% , a measure of the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, slipped to 79.167 from 79.220 before the data and 79.290 in North American action late Wednesday. The euro EURUSD +0.2866% rose to $1.3267 from $1.3245. Yields on 10-year notes 10_YEAR -0.61% , which move inversely to prices, pared a decline to 1 basis point to 1.80%. Coming up is the Treasury Department's sale of inflation-indexed debt, its last auction of the year.
