NEW YORK/LONDON, April 5 (Reuters) - The dollar was up

on Friday after data showed that U.S. job growth in March beat

expectations, with nonfarm payrolls increasing by 303,000 jobs

last month.

The dollar index was last up 0.297% at 104.53. It

has had a turbulent week, falling from a five-month high to a

two-week low after an unexpected slowdown in U.S. services

growth supported expectations of the Federal Reserve bringing

interest rates down.
