Dollar near two-year low against euro


The dollar steadied close to a two-year low against the euro in Asian trade Friday as players traders took to the sidelines ahead of keenly awaited US jobs data, dealers said.

The euro inched down to 1.3425 dollars in early Tokyo trade from 1.3427 in New York late Thursday, when it had hit 1.3441 dollars, the highest level since March 2005.

The euro was unchanged at 159.42 yen, while the dollar edged up to 118.77 yen from 118.71.
