US Market View
World equities are set to post a fourth consecutive month of gains on Monday, while the dollar remains under pressure ahead of a slew of European and U.S. data that will confirm whether the global economy is on a steady recovery path. The main event of the week will be U.S. payrolls on Friday with median forecasts at 650,000 but the outcome is uncertain following April's shockingly weak 266,000 gain. Although U.S. inflation data last week was above estimating, another big miss on the jobs front would heap pressure on the Fed to postpone plans to wind down on stimulus.
The dollar came under pressure on Monday, heading for its second consecutive monthly loss against the euro and the pound, as traders assessed the impact of a surge in U.S. inflation before monthly jobs data later this week.
Gold is heading for its biggest monthly gain since July as inflation remains the key focus, while Bitcoin at the same time is heading for its worst month since 2011. Prepare for another busy week for the bond market as US jobs data are released on Friday (TLT, IEF). If jobs numbers disappoint once again, the market would have some serious doubts about the state of the recovery.
Australia RBA meeting tonight. Little is expected from this meeting as the RBA has set up the July meeting as the key decision point for whether to re-extend the horizon of its yield-curve-control policy.
Oil prices firmed on Monday, with Brent trading near $70 a barrel, underpinned by the bright outlook for fuel demand growth in the next quarter, while investors looked ahead to the OPEC+ meeting this week to see how producers will respond. All eyes will be on OPEC this week as it reviews its supply agreement, and any hint of an increase in output could pressure prices.
The euro zone is to release what will be closely watched flash inflation figures on Tuesday. Inflation in the bloc is fast approaching the ECB’s 2% target, but like their counterparts in the U.S. central bank officials are arguing that this is likely temporary. Last week ECB Chief Economist Philip Lane said there was “nearly zero connection between any spikes in prices on the reopening of the world economy and what goes into the inflation trend”.

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
