June 30 (Reuters) -ICE cotton rose more than 1% on Friday, aided by a weaker dollar and gains in grains market, while also drawing support from a U.S. Agriculture Department (USDA) report showing lower planted area for the natural fiber.

* The most-active December cotton contract CTz3 rose 1.3 cents, or 1.6%, to 80.33 cents per lb by 13:23 a.m. EDT (1727 GMT). It traded in a range of 78.51 and 80.59 cents a lb.

* Prices were up more than 2% for the week.

* The dollar index .DXY lost 0.5%, making the natural fiber affordable to overseas buyers. USD/
