THE US dollar steadied against a basket of currencies on Friday after hitting a 21/2-week high overnight as data pointed to a sturdy US economy, while the euro was dented by weak manufacturing activity in Europe.

Many financial markets were closed for the Good Friday Easter holiday. Currency markets remain open but volume is expected to be light.
