USD/JPY is driven by yield differentials and slow BOJ normalization, with intervention risk near 164-165. Dollar strength is priced in and needs hawkish validation from data or Fed speakers to continue. Lower oil gives a breather to IDR and INR. Gold faces headwinds from rising real rates and hawkish Fed rhetoric, with downside risk similar to 2013 taper tantrum if tightening materializes.

The guest does not discuss equity markets directly. The focus is on FX and rates headwinds (hawkish Fed, strong dollar) which typically pressure growth/tech stocks, but no explicit view is given.
rut
No mention of small caps. The macro headwinds (strong dollar, potential rate hikes) are generally negative for risk assets, but no specific view on RUT.

Oil prices have come off a good decline from what we've seen earlier in May.
yields
The guest mentions hawkish Fed repricing and the need for hawkish validation from data/speakers, implying yields are biased higher in the near term.
