EU Market View
European stock markets are seen opening lower Wednesday, on mounting Covid concerns ahead of the outcome of the Federal Reserve’s two-day policy meeting. French health authorities reported 29,975 new cases on Tuesday, a 4.5% jump versus last Tuesday's total and the sharpest week-on-week rise in a month and a half.
Global markets have been knocked in recent weeks by a rout in Treasuries that saw the benchmark yield soar to a more than one-year high as bond investors bet accelerating COVID-19 vaccinations and massive fiscal stimulus would spur faster-than-expected growth and inflation in the world's biggest economy.
The U.S. central bank is scheduled to release new economic and interest rate forecasts and is likely to acknowledge stronger growth in 2021. With the Biden administration’s $1.9 trillion stimulus package yet to have its impact, the market is beginning to anticipate interest rates rising sooner than in 2024, as the central bank’s current guidance suggests. The central bank is expected to keep rates unchanged and its $120 billion pace of monthly bond purchases on hold. An update from the Powell, however, has the potential to trigger a move in bond yields that would likely move stocks. Expect Powell to refuse a talk of policy tightening because of the large amount of labour market slack. U.S. bond yields and the USD could jump if the FOMC’s post‑meeting statement and Powell’s statement are not deemed dovish enough.

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
