The dollar continued to trade lower against the euro and the yen, but had pared its early morning declines following the release of a mixed U.S. retail sales report that showed gains outside of volatile categories such as auto sales. Modest gains were seen even when strong gasoline sales were stripped from the data. The dollar was trading at 110.17 yen, up from 109.90 yen just before the report. The dollar remains 0.4% lower on the day against its Japanese counterpart. The euro stood at $1.2294, down from a pre-report $1.2321. It's up 0.2% from late Tuesday
