The historical meeting between U.S. president Donald Trump and N.K. leader Kim Jong-un went fairly well, with Kim confirming "unwavering commitment" to denuclearise. That will take time of course but should nevertheless provide some tailwind for risk trades. USD/JPY looks bullish just above 200 DMA, ahead of the U.S. CPI report coming up in the afternoon.

Bank of Japan on hold, North Korea to denuclearize
BOJ keeps monetary policy on hold. My guess is that, for now, they'll just proceed with small off-meeting tweaks (tightenings) and save regular meetings for any bold decisions (easings). What moved USD/JPY overnight was news of North Korea steps to commit to denuclearization and thawing of the relationship with the U.S. Trump is said to accept Kim's invitation for a meeting. It shouldn't be too much of a surprise if the two go on to become best friends after all.
