Session Recap: USD mixed into the month-end

FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - The dollar is mixed against the majors into the month- and quarter-end. The yen trades overall softer amid better sentiment, as fears of imminent QE tapering by the Fed eased after comments from Dudley and Lockhart on Thursday.

EUR/USD rose to the 1.3080 area, while USD/JPY claimed the 99.00 mark. Elsewhere the greenback trades flat versus the other majors and currencies linked to commodities. However, AUD/USD is among the worst performers given gold's weakness, which dropped below $1200 an ounce today.
