TOKYO/LONDON—The dollar climbed a bit against the yen on Friday, but largely stayed below recent highs against its major peers as investors looked ahead to a U.S. jobs report later in the day that could influence the path for interest rates.
The greenback climbed 0.20 percent against the yen to 142.8, while the euro was steady at $1.09455, just above the previous day’s four-week low.
