S&P 500 vs USD/JPY

Latest data from 2026-05-11

US500
S&P 500
7,398.9
+0.84%
PAST
S&P closed at 7,398.9, within 3 points of its all-time high. Tech and semis led the charge as AI capex optimism overrode Iran headlines.
WHY
The market is pricing peak earnings growth — AI spending is accelerating faster than even bulls expected. Breadth is narrowing though, which historically precedes corrections.
WATCH
Intraday ATH test at 7,401.5 is imminent. Clean break targets 7,500. CPI miss Tuesday could trigger the breakout; hot CPI kills it.
USDJPY
US Dollar / Japanese Yen
157.03
+0.13%
PAST
Dollar-yen crept higher to 157.03 despite broad dollar weakness — yen underperformed as risk appetite sent capital out of safe havens.
WHY
BoJ's July rate hike expectations are fading after soft Tokyo CPI. The carry trade is back on, capping yen strength even as DXY weakens.
WATCH
Japan GDP Wednesday 02:50 TRT. Contraction would kill remaining BoJ hike bets and open 158+ quickly.
