US Market View
U.S. stocks are seen opening lower Thursday, adding to Wednesday’s sharp losses amid rising concerns the Federal Reserve may pare back its ultra-easy monetary policies sooner rather than later. This has been Wall Street’s worst week in six months on concerns increased inflation levels will pressure the Fed into raising interest rates more promptly than the central bank has guided. China's top e-commerce platform Alibab Group Holding Ltd reported a forecast-beating 64% surge in quarterly revenue on Thursday, as more people shopped online due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The economic data slate also commands attention Thursday, with the weekly jobless claims, the main release, especially after last week’s disappointing jobs report for April and record job opening numbers earlier this week. Economists are calling for 490,000 initial claims, below 500,000 for the second straight week, helped by the ramped-up vaccination program and widespread easing of social distancing restrictions.
Oil prices weakened Thursday, after Colonial Pipeline began to slowly restart the nation's largest fuel pipeline network, lifting concerns of a lengthy shortage of fuel to major population centers on the east coast of the U.S. Adding to the negative tone, the U.S. Energy information administration reported a draw of 427,000 barrels in crude oil inventories for the week ending May 7. This was a smaller drop than the 2.82-million-barrel draw expected, as well as the near 8-million-barrel reduction recorded during the previous week.
Britisg Airways cancelled its flights to and from Tel Aviv on Thursday, following the lead of the major American airlines in avoiding flying to Israel amid an escalating conflict. Israel prepared ground troops along the Gaza border on Thursday, a move that would recall similar incursions during Israel-Gaza wars in 2008-2009 and 2014, and Hamas launched rocket barrages at Israel during the region's fiercest hostilities in years.

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
