US Market View
World stock markets were fighting for a fourth day of gains on Thursday as a near one-year high in oil prices, a revitalized dollar and rising bond yields refocused attention on inflation and normalizing economies. Oil prices continued to test new highs overnight without breaking through, in the wake of an OPEC meeting that delivered no surprises on output policy.
With the WallStreetBets/Reddit retail trading tumult having eased this week, markets were back in their comfort zone of corporate earnings, economic data, and central bank meetings. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen may meet with U.S. financial regulators to discuss the implications of the frenzied trading in a handful of heavily shorted stocks over the last couple of weeks.
New U.S. President Joe Biden had told House Democrats on Wednesday he was more concerned that too little would be provided rather than too much when it came to economic relief.

USA Key Point
- Yellen supports that ‘’we need to make sure that markets are functioning properly’’.
- Pound climbs as BOE continues to play down negative rates expectations.
- The AUD is the strongest and the EUR is the weakest in US session.

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
