US Market View
U.S. stocks are seen opening higher Wednesday, amid growing optimism that the country’s increase in vaccination program will lead a prompt and strong economic recovery. President Biden announced late Tuesday that the U.S. will have sufficient Covid-19 vaccines to vaccinate every adult by the end of May, two months ahead of schedule. This comes with President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill now in the Senate, after having passed through the House of Representatives.
All eyes in USA remain in inflation numbers. The key supporting factors to US inflation in 2021 include the higher growth of personal consumption, capital spending, housing, and inventory builds of which these sectors had been the main contributors to the US’ recovery process last year.

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!
