Yen titled higher against dollar in Asian trade, while still heading for weekly losses, amid a lack of data releases from Japan, and ahead of US consumer data later today.
As of 05:50 GMT, USD/JPY barely inched down to 110.88, with a session-low at 110.81, and a high at 111.05.
Now investors await University of Michigan's highly-regarded consumer sentiment survey later today, expected to increase to 98.1 in August from 97.9.
