The Dow added 0.45% to a record 51,308, lagging tech but lifted by the broad risk-on tone.

Its value tilt means the Dow rides the rally without the semiconductor turbocharge — steady rather than spectacular.

51,000 is first support; rotation breadth will decide whether the Dow keeps pace with the Nasdaq.

USD/JPY pushed to 159.88, within a whisker of its 52-week high, as yield differentials and BoJ caution kept the yen pinned.

With US10Y at 4.45% and the BoJ slow to tighten, carry strongly favors the dollar — but intervention risk rises near 160.

160.00 is the psychological and intervention trigger; a clean break targets 161.50, while jawboning could snap it back.
