The dollar is mostly steadier, keeping lightly changed across the major currencies board. USD/JPY did dip slightly from 158.35 to 157.61 after a report that the BOJ might still possibly consider a January rate hike. But concerns on that were short-lived as USD/JPY rebounded back to just above 158.00 currently.

In other markets, US futures remain more cautious while bond yields are staying underpinned ahead of the key data. In the commodities space, gold continues to stay bullish as well in a push to $2,680 while oil is also rallying and looking poised for a third straight weekly gain.

It's all on the US non-farm payrolls release now as we look to wrap up the week.
