The yen unexpectedly rose against the dollar on Friday, a day after Tokyo authorities were believed to have intervened to prop up the currency.

The yen strengthened against the dollar on Friday, following intervention by Tokyo authorities to support the currency, with the dollar falling to a session low of 155.60 yen from 157.12 earlier.

The U.S. dollar fell sharply against the yen after Japanese authorities were reported to have intervened in foreign exchange markets to support their currency.
