The dollar firmed against the yen and rallied from two-year lows versus the euro on Friday helped by U.S. stocks and end-of-the-week short covering. This week, market participants will be awaiting the preliminary estimate for the first-quarter U.S. GDP growth, some housing data and consumer confidence reports.
The crown failed to benefit from the bullish trend on some central European currency markets on Friday, slipping to the weaker side of the 28.0 per euro level.
