NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The dollar extended losses and Treasury prices held onto gains on Thursday after reports showed the jobless claims rose to 377,000 in the latest week and durable-goods orders jumped 3% last month - both higher than economists expected. The dollar index , which measures the U.S. unit against a basket of six major currencies, fell to 79.144, from 79.277 before the data and 79.563 late Wednesday in North America. The euro rose to $1.3174, versus $1.3145 and up from $1.3091 Tuesday. Yields on 10-year notes stayed down 4 basis points to 1.96%. Still to come is data on new home sales and the U.S. government's sale of 7-year notes , a day after yields on the securities fell the most since November because the Federal Reserve said it would keep interest rates low much longer than previously stated.
