Yen Weakness Continues Despite BoJ Hawkish Tone
The yen continues to weaken against the dollar, reaching a new high of JPY158.90 in the European morning.
This development is significant, as it contrasts with the Bank of Japan's hawkish tone from last month's meeting.
Meanwhile, the euro rose to $1.1580 following the disappointing US employment report.
The S&P 500 futures advanced ahead of the weekend, but held below its record high set in mid-week.
