NEW YORK (MarketWatch) - The dollar lost strength on news of an unexpectedly weak rise in employment last month. The U.S. economy added only 110,000 jobs in March, about half of the MarketWatch average economist forecast for an increase of 221,000. The euro traded at $1.3040, up 0.5% on the session and up from $1.2968 before the report. The dollar was down 0.5% at 106.85 yen, against 107.11 yen before the report.
