LONDON, Jan 6: The dollar fell to a three-month low against the euro here on Friday on news that the US economy produced far fewer jobs than had been expected in December, reinforcing speculation that a cycle if US rate hikes may soon come to an end.

The single European currency in late-day trade had risen to $1.2143 from $1.2105 late on Thursday in New York.

The dollar was meanwhile trading at 114.42 yen after 115.87 on Thursday.
