Amazon Skyrocketed to New Record
Information is not investment advice
What happened?
Amazon is a US tech giant company, involved in e-commerce, cloud computing, digital streaming, and artificial intelligence. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos stepped down as CEO on July 5. Andy Jassy, who ran Amazon's cloud-computing business and worked in a company for 24 years (!), replaced Bezos.
However, it wasn’t the reason for the stock’s jump. What pushed the price up then? Pentagon! Yeah, it decided to divide the $10 billion contract of a cloud-computing deal between Microsoft and Amazon. The full contract should have gone to Microsoft only, but Amazon argued that it would be unfair and Pentagon agreed.
Moreover, Amazon made a multi-year deal with Comcast's Hollywood heavyweight Universal. Amazon will add Universal Pictures’ films to the Prime Video streaming service. It will make Amazon closer to Netflix in terms of gotta-see-it content and prominence. Overall, there has been just good news for Amazon so far.
Technical tips
It’s better to look at the weekly chart to see the whole picture. Since mid-summer of 2020, Amazon was moving back and forth in a horizontal corridor between $2900 and $3500. This week, it has escaped that corridor breaking above the resistance of $3500! Will it reach $4000 soon?

How Will BoJ Meeting Affect the Yen
Hold onto your hats, folks! The Japanese yen took a nosedive after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) left its ultra-loose policy settings unchanged, including its closely watched yield curve control (YCC) policy. But wait, there's more! The BOJ also removed its forward guidance, which had previously pledged to keep interest rates at current or lower levels. So, what's the scoop? Market expectations had been subdued going into the meeting, but some were still hoping for tweaks to the forward guidance to prepare for an eventual exit from the bank's massive stimulus
