The yen was little changed at 157.71 per dollar in early trade after weakening for two straight sessions.

The euro was little changed at $1.1557, and sterling traded flat at $1.3469. The New Zealand dollar and the Australian dollar were also flat, last trading at $0.5885 and $0.7056, respectively.
