As the rest of the world has been raising rates throughout most of 2022, Mitrade expects the Bank of Japan is likely to keep a negative rate level at -0.100%, with a possible policy shift in the short term. USD/JPY has increased by over 40 pips to 137.40, currently trading at 136.880, while USD/CAD is trading lower at 1.3642.

Meanwhile, the US dollar’s performance against other major currencies varied. The Euro and the Aussie increased a little over 10 pips to a closing price of 1.0605 and 1.2146 respectively. GBP/USD suffered minor losses at 1.2146.

China’s gradual re-opening sent WTI oil futures higher at $75.38 a barrel, but spot gold declined to $1,787.78 an ounce. Bitcoin just bounced back from a low of 16,372, recovering to 16,571.0.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 162 points to 32,757 (-0.49%), the S&P 500 lost 34 points to 3,817 (-0.91), and the Nasdaq 100 decreased 159 points to 11,084.
