The U.S. dollar weakened in late trading on Friday as market participants sifted through a key inflation report.
   The dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major peers, decreased 0.12 percent to 112.1160.
   In late New York trading, the euro was up to 0.9810 U.S. dollars from 0.9793 dollars in the previous session, and the British pound was up to 1.1173 U.S. dollars from 1.1058 dollars in the previous session. The Australian dollar fell to 0.6410 U.S. dollars from 0.6478 dollars.
