Tokyo-Saba:
The dollar stabilised on Thursday, ahead of key jobs data and next week's U.S. presidential election.

The dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major currencies, settled at 104.09, after falling in the previous session and hitting its highest level since 30 July at 104.63 on Tuesday.

The Japanese yen remained unchanged with the Bank of Japan poised to keep interest rates ultra-low as the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields hovered around their highest levels since July.

The yen fell 0.11 per cent to 153.24 against the dollar, not far from Monday's three-month low of 153.885.

The yen posted its biggest monthly loss against the dollar since November 2016 at around 6.3 per cent.

The euro was largely flat at $1.0859, while the British pound was at $1.2957, down 0.03 per cent. The Australian dollar was at $0.65726, while the New Zealand dollar saw a slight decline of 0.02 per cent to $0.5974.
