US Market View
U.S. stocks are seen opening marginally higher Monday, remaining near record levels, heading into a week that includes a keenly-awaited Federal Reserve meeting. The Fed’s two-day policy meeting, ending Wednesday, will likely limit activity in the early part of the week. The central bank is not expected to take any immediate action, but investors will be focusing on the statement to see whether the policy makers open discussions about how and when to taper the $120 billion in monthly central bank bond purchases. While inflation is currently running red hot, U.S. employers have added fewer than half of the 2 million jobs that Fed chief Jerome Powell had suggested he was hoping for after the Fed's April policy meeting.
The dollar consolidated gains on Monday after posting its biggest weekly rise in six weeks as traders cut their bearish bets before a much-anticipated Federal Reserve meeting that might signal a change in the outlook for U.S. monetary policy. The U.S. central bank begins a scheduled two-day policy meeting on Tuesday. Recent data pointing to a surge in inflation has raised concerns that price pressures following the post-COVID economic reopening could force policymakers into an earlier tapering of currency-depreciating stimulus. While consensus expectations are the Fed will remain on hold until 2023, some believe the failure of the dollar to weaken in recent days despite inflation-adjusted U.S. bond yields softening further signals a broader caution among investors.

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
