The Bank of Japan's move to raise interest rates to their highest in 15 years has jolted the yen to its strongest against the dollar since March and left it poised for further gains. Japan's Ministry of Finance spent $37 billion in the foreign exchange market to prop up their currency this month. The NASDAQ and the S&P 500 jumped around 2% as investors hoped for hints from the Federal Reserve on the timing of rate cuts. A bullish forecast from AMD boosted chip stocks, while Microsoft slipped after a higher spending forecast.
