NEW YORK, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. dollar dipped in light year-end trading Monday as safe-haven appetite for the currency diminished on renewed optimism about global growth.

The dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major peers, slid 0.20 percent at 96.7404 in late trading.

In late New York trading, the euro rose to 1.1202 U.S. dollars from 1.1185 dollars in the previous session, and the British pound rose to 1.3113 U.S. dollars from 1.3093 dollars in the previous session. The Australian dollar was up to 0.6998 U.S. dollar from 0.6984 dollar.

The U.S. dollar bought 108.81 Japanese yen, lower than 109.40 Japanese yen of the previous session. The U.S. dollar fell to 0.9685 Swiss franc from 0.9734 Swiss franc, and it fell to 1.3055 Canadian dollars from 1.3071 Canadian dollars.

Monday's movement followed a big setback in the prior session with the dollar index down about 0.62 percent in late trading Friday.
