Euro ticks up in Asia; still under pressure

TOKYO: The euro edged higher Friday but remained under pressure after sinking to its lowest level in more than a decade after the European Central Bank launch a vast bond-buying program aimed at kickstarting the eurozone economy.

The single currency—which hit an 11-year low of $1.1316 after the announcement Thursday—bought $1.1366 in Tokyo early trade, a tad up from $1.1359 late in New York.
