LONDON/SINGAPORE—The dollar fluctuated on Friday and was little changed in morning trading in London after two days of gains, as investors weighed up the outlook for interest rates following the release of stronger-than-expected U.S. economic data on Thursday.

The euro was up slightly against the dollar, standing 0.1 percent higher at $1.061, after slipping less than 0.1 percent on Thursday.
