The U.S. dollar weakened against other major currencies in the Asian session on Friday.

The U.S. dollar fell to more than a 3-week low of 1.0825 against the euro and a 2-day low of 1.2777 against the pound, from yesterday's closing quotes of 1.0810 and 1.2757, respectively.

Against the Swiss franc and the U.S. dollar, the greenback dropped to 1-week lows of 0.8980 and 160.53 from Thursday's closing quotes of 0.9001 and 161.25, respectively.
