NEW YORK (Reuters) - The dollar pared losses against a basket of currencies on Friday, after data showed U.S. job growth rebounded sharply in October and wages recorded their largest annual gain in 9-1/2 years, pointing to further labour market tightening that could encourage the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates again in December.
At 8:35 A.M. (1235 GMT), the index that tracks the greenback versus the euro, yen, sterling and three other currencies, <.DXY> was down 0.04 percent at 96.235. Against the yen the dollar was 0.21 percent higher.
