CandyKisses:  Dollar down compared to six other currencies

The dollar was pressured on Friday by uncertainty surrounding the path of US interest rates, while the euro maintained gains made overnight with data indicating that the decline in the euro area may recede.

With U.S. markets closed on Thursday and a shorter trading session held on Friday due to Thanksgiving, currency trading is likely to be limited but with some volatility as liquidity is expected to remain weak.

The dollar index, which measures the greenback's performance against six currencies, fell 0.029 percent to 103.73, staying close to a two-and-a-half-month low of 103.17 touched earlier in the week.

For the month, the index fell 2.8 percent and is on track for its weakest monthly performance in a year amid growing expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve has finished raising interest rates and could start cutting them next year.

The euro was at $1.0904 after rising 0.16 percent overnight after a series of preliminary surveys showed the recession in Germany could be less than expected, offsetting a pessimistic reading of business activity in France.

Meanwhile, Japan's core consumer price growth rose slightly in October, after declining the previous month, supporting investors' views that persistent inflation could prompt the Bank of Japan to roll back monetary stimulus soon.

ING economists said they expected the Bank of Japan to move away from its ultra-lax stance next year. The Japanese yen rose 0.04 percent to 149.49 per dollar. The Asian currency is slowly moving away from a 33-year low of 151.92 touched at the start of last week. It rose 1.5 percent during the month.

Japan's factory activity contracted for a sixth straight month in November, a survey showed on Friday, while modest growth in the services sector was little changed, highlighting the fragile economy amid weak demand and persistent inflation.

Sterling last traded at $1.2539, up 0.05 percent on the day.

The Australian dollar rose 0.14 percent to $0.657 and its New Zealand counterpart rose 0.07 percent to $0.605.
