NEW YORK, Dec 12 (Reuters) - The dollar pared losses on
Tuesday in choppy trading that initially saw it move lower,
after data showed that U.S. consumer price inflation rose 0.1%
in November, above economists expectations for no change during
the month.
    Headline prices gained at an annual pace of 3.1%, in line
with expectations. 
    The dollar was last down 0.14% on the day against a basket
of currencies at 103.90. It got as low as 103.48
immediately after the data, before bouncing. 
    The euro was last up 0.18% at $1.0783. It was
around $1.0809 before the data. The greenback dipped 0.40% to
145.61 Japanese yen, after earlier getting as low as
144.75.
