NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The dollar held onto gains versus the euro and other counterparts on Tuesday after a government report showed U.S. producer prices rose 0.3% in October, less than forecast, while prices excluding food and energy unexpectedly dropped by the most in three years. The euro declined to $1.4896 versus the greenback, down from $1.4972 in North American trade late Monday. The dollar index (DXY 75.33, +0.50, +0.67%) , which tracks the U.S. unit against a basket of foreign currencies, rose to 75.239 from 74.908 late Monday, after touching a 15-month low. Still to come are data on industrial production, capital inflows, and an index on homebuilders' confidence.
