The yen weakened to ¥158.47–48 per dollar in early Tokyo trading after US October payroll growth exceeded expectations and prior months were revised higher. The unemployment rate also improved, prompting markets to strengthen expectations for another Federal Reserve rate increase in December; the yen also fell against the euro, while the euro weakened against the dollar.
