NEW YORK: The dollar extended gains slightly against the yen on Thursday after US data showed fewer Americans than expected applied for first-time jobless benefits in the latest week.

Separate data showed the US economy grew at a 1.3 percent rate in the second quarter, above a prior 1 percent estimate.
