The dollar index, which tracks the U.S. currency against six major rivals, fell 0.15 percent at 98.648 on Friday after a sharp rebound in U.S. jobs growth in April was not enough to offset investors' bullishness toward the euro ahead of the second round of France's presidential election. The euro rose 0.10 percent to $1.0995 against the greenback. Against the yen, the dollar was up 0.23 percent at 112.71. The euro is expected to meet resistance and support against the dollar at $1.1170 and $1.0850 respectively, while the dollar is expected to meet resistance and support against the yen at 114.20 and 110.40 respectively.
