Dollar up versus yen on U.S. jobs data, holds steady versus euro
Robust U.S. jobs data spurred investors to buy the U.S. dollar and sell yen on Friday with the rosier economic report curtailing some expectations the U.S. Federal Reserve will hold off raising interest rates until 2014.

Weekly Focus: The Clouds are Lifting a Bit
Market movers ahead
Following a week of improved economic indicators, we are headed for a light data calendar, with consumer confidence the most interesting data in the US in the coming week.
However, we expect a Greek PSI deal to be struck very soon, so we might know more about the losses that investors will suffer on their holdings of Greek debt as early as Monday.
