Eurozone gross domestic product dropped 0.1 percent in the July- September period from the previous three months, following a 0.2 percent contraction in the second quarter.

The yen declined against all of its counterparts on Thursday as Japan's central bank may be pushed to take further easing measures after Prime Minster Yoshihiko Noda said Wednesday that he would dissolve the House of Representatives Friday and the main opposition Liberal Democratic Party is speculated to gain more power.

In late New York trading, the euro rose to 1.2773 dollars from 1.2745 of the previous session, while the British pound fell to 1. 5850 dollars from 1.5854.
