S&P500 futures have recorded significant gains in London, indicating a more relaxed risk-off sentiment. On Wednesday, US equities experienced substantial selling pressure, primarily due to a sharp decline in technology stocks. Investors are being cautious as they anticipate that tech-savvy companies may continue to struggle due to the Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates.
The rally in USD/JPY is driven by the belief that the gap in policies between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan will widen further. The Fed is expected to continue increasing interest rates, while the Bank of Japan is likely to maintain its ultra-dovish policy stance that has been in place for a decade. As a result, the Japanese Yen has significantly weakened against the US Dollar.
