At 9 a.m., the dollar was quoted at 106.71-73 yen compared with 106.50-60 yen in New York and 108.74-76 yen in Tokyo at 5 p.m. on Friday.

The euro, meanwhile, fetched 1.1349-1351 dollars and 121.11-15 yen against 1.1361-1371 dollars and 121.08-18 yen in New York and 1.1150-1152 dollars and 121.25-29 yen on Friday afternoon in late trade.
