The safe-haven U.S. dollar fell modestly in morning trading on Thursday after domestic retail sales data for June came in better than expected, though the move was limited by jobless claims and a drop in U.S. equities.
Retail sales in June increased for the second consecutive month, according to a report from the Commerce Department. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the currency against a basket of six rivals, was last down 0.07% to 95.940.
The euro was little moved by the outcome of the European Central Bank meeting, last trading up 0.10% to $1.142.
