US Market View
U.S. stock markets are set to open lower later, as the prospect of rising bond yields feeds through into higher expected costs of capital for companies, something that depressed returns on equity. The House of Representatives plans to vote as soon as Friday on President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus, meaning the Senate could vote on it as soon as next week.
The potential for this bill has been boosting Wall Street for several weeks, but investors are starting to grow concerned that this additional liquidity, coupled with a very easy policy stance from the Federal Reserve, will result in a rapid rise in inflation.
This all puts the focus onto Federal Reserve Chairman Powell ahead of his two-day testimony to Congress, starting Tuesday, on the economic outlook and the central bank’s monetary policy stance. Oil prices climbed Monday as U.S. production returned only slowly from last week’s severe cold snap, further tightening a global market where inventories have fallen sharply in recent weeks.
USA Key Point

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
