Yen rise after disappointing US jobs report
The yen rose against the dollar and euro on Friday after a disappointing US jobs report stoked worries about the state of the economy and boosted safe-haven demand for the Japanese currency.
The dollar headed for its first weekly loss against the yen in three weeks before a US payrolls report that may show the economy lost jobs every month in 2008 and the unemployment rate rose to a 16-year high.
