> USD/JPY rose to 157.85 on Friday as the yen retreated from a one-week high, with traders cautious ahead of the US Nonfarm Payrolls report. Lower Treasury yields and expectations of further Bank of Japan rate hikes were cited as factors that could limit a sustained dollar recovery against the yen.
