NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--The euro declined against the dollar Friday as U.S. stocks fluctuated in and out of positive territory in the wake of a disappointing U.S. monthly unemployment report.
During the New York afternoon, the single currency settled modestly below day-earlier levels versus the dollar, calming after a choppy morning. Rapid intraday shifts and reversals are common after a major data release as investors adjust positions in light of the figures.
