Dollar drops vs euro, yen after slew of U.S. data May 16th 2013, 12:44 NEW YORK | Thu May 16, 2013 8:44am EDT NEW YORK May 16 (Reuters) - The dollar dropped against the euro and Japanese yen on Thursday after a slew of data gauging U.S. inflation, jobless claims and the housing market. The euro last traded at $1.2908, up 0.2 percent on the day. It had been trading flat at $1.2884 before the data. The dollar last traded at 102.18 yen, down 0.1 percent on the day. It had been trading up 0.3 percent at 102.54 yen before the data.
