  "account": "Asian markets climbed on Friday, ahead of key U.S. jobs data and as Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller cooled inflation concerns. The dollar's decline boosted the yen, which gained 2.6% this week. Waller's remarks signaled potential rate stability, reducing the chance of a hike this month to 50%, down from 63%. Traders now assess a 75% probability of a September rate hike, with back-to-back tightening also priced in. Waller's speech reinforced the view that data would likely prevent a rate hike this month. Asian shares, including the MSCI Asia-Pacific index, rose, while Wall Street and European futures remained flat. Inflation fears persist, and oil prices remain high.",
