The US dollar bolstered Friday as traders raised their prospects of more easing by the Bank of Japan.
On Thursday, the greenback drifted higher on a news report, which stated Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's adviser Kozo Yamamoto said the BOJ's policy meeting on October 30 would be a good opportunity for further monetary easing.
The dollar finished at $1.1248 per euro. Against the Japanese yen, the currency closed at ¥120.82.
Although this was not Yamamoto's first time to openly express his comments on monetary policy, the Japanese ruling party lawmaker seemed to have sealed a cord in the markets marred by mild Japanese data and volatile equities.
