The USD/JPY currency pair remained around the 159.00 level during the Asian trading session on Friday, with both the US dollar and Japanese yen showing weakness against other major currencies.
According to FX Street, the yen traded near this level against the dollar as neither currency demonstrated significant strength in the early trading hours.
This movement comes as investors continue to monitor global monetary policies and economic data, factors that remain critical for Japan's export-driven market and its currency's valuation.
