The closely watched nonfarm payrolls report is due later on Friday, where expectations are for the U.S. economy to have added 225,000 jobs in June.
The dollar index rose 0.03% to 103.12, while yields on U.S. Treasuries hovered near their recent peaks.
The two-year Treasury yield , which typically reflects near-term interest rate expectations, steadied above 5%, after surging to a 16-year high of 5.12% on Thursday.
That kept a closely watched two-to-10-year part of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, seen as an indicator of economic expectations, deeply inverted at a negative 96.90 bps.
Elsewhere, the yen last bought 144.06 per dollar and was on track for a slight weekly gain, reversing three straight weeks of losses.
