EURJPY Euro vs Japanese Yen

The Japanese yen declined against its major counterparts on Friday amid a jump in U.S. stocks, as Broadcom's strong financial results and AI chip demand lifted investor sentiment for semiconductor stocks.

Stocks also benefitted from optimism about the outlook for interest rates ahead of next week's Federal Reserve meeting.

The Fed is widely expected to lower interest rates by another 25 basis points, although traders are likely to pay close attention to the accompanying statement for clues about future rate cuts.
