US Market View
U.S. stocks are seen opening higher Friday, amid growing optimism over the economic recovery with President Biden set to unveil a fiscally-expansive budget. Confidence is growing about the strength of global economic improvement, helped by first-time jobless claims in the U.S. falling to a new pandemic low, a positive indication of the health of the world’s largest economy.
The Federal Reserve is coming under increasing pressure to give the market more guidance as to when it plans to start tapering back its bond-buying program. However, in Europe, these voices are much more quiet.
In fact, the European Central Bank is increasingly expected by market participants to extend the elevated pace of its emergency bond-buying at its next meeting on June 10, despite a likely economic rebound.
Crude oil prices edged higher Friday, on course for another monthly gain in May, the fourth of five this year, as investors wager that progress in combating the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly in the U.S. and Europe, will spur energy consumption, although gains are light ahead of a meeting of top producers early next week and with the return of Iranian exports still a possibility.
President Joe Biden is set later Friday to unveil a budget that would increase federal spending to $6 trillion in the coming fiscal year, according to a report by the New York Times. Although such a proposal would have to get through a divided Congress, where the Democrats hold only narrow majorities in the House and Senate, it would take federal spending to its highest levels since World War II.

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?
