NEW YORK (AFP) - The dollar traded mainly higher after solid economic data reinforced the view that the US economy is on solid footing, although gains were tempered by tame inflation that may keep interest rates low.

　　At 2100 GMT, the euro dipped to 1.2029 dollars from 1.2079 on Thursday evening.

　　The dollar edged lower however to 112.21 yen compared with 112.30 yen on Thursday.

　　"The slew of economic data for the US released over the last three days has provided significant clarity to the rebound in US economic growth rates from the "soft patch" period that plagued the figures over the February-May period," said Mike Englund, an analyst at Action Economics.
