USD/JPY: The USD/JPY pair is now trading above the Kumo. Further bullish sentiment would lead the market into fresh highs. Alternatively, a plunge of the market might bring the exchange rate within the cloud.
Equity futures were higher in early Monday morning trading after a losing week as investors continued to bet that the Federal Reserve will tighten monetary policy aggressively to combat inflation.
Futures on the Dow Jones gained 132 points, or 0.4%. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.57% and 0.77%, respectively.
The early morning action followed another disappointing week for investors as the major averages suffered modest losses. The blue-chip Dow Jones fell 0.9% for its ninth negative week in 10, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 1.2% and 1%, respectively, last week for their eighth losing week in nine.

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
