Saturday, 11 April 2015




TOKYO, Apr 10:  The dollar held firm against other currencies on Friday, after an upbeat US jobs report added to the chances the Federal Reserve will increase interest rates, even as global peers stick to easy money policies. The greenback was at 120.52 yen in Tokyo trade, little changed from 120.59 yen in New York late Thursday but well up from 120.28 yen in Tokyo earlier Thursday.    — AFP
