Morning Juice – US Session Prep

Morning, Traders!
It is Monday the 25th of March, here are some things to look out for today.

Sentiment
The dollar index fell, while Treasury yields rose slightly. The Yen rose as Japan’s top foreign exchange official warned that “necessary action” will be taken to prevent excessive currency volatility. The Yuan surged, causing risk-sensitive currencies to rise, as China’s central bank indicated support for the currency. US shares were set to take a breather following their greatest week of the year, with investors questioning if the surge was merited.
