The last international trading session for the week saw mixed results from higher-risk and safety currencies, as US markets dipped slightly on the disappointing non-farm payrolls data.
The US dollar continued to be weaker than its rival, the yen, though a few higher-risk currencies gained on hopes of a global economic turnaround.
The euro exchange rate rose less than a percent against the yen and the greenback, whilst the pound was slightly weaker against the yen and a tad stronger against the US dollar.
The NZ dollar made some gains whilst the Australian dollar followed the pound’s trend, slipping 0.1% to 78.52 yen but rising 0.3% to 91.83 US cents.
