This morning, the S&P 500 Index e-mini futures (ES-M3) are trading higher by 4.00 points to 1651.00 per contract. Traders and investors seem to be focused on one thing, the price action in the Japanese Yen. Simply put, when the Japanese Yen strengthens against the U.S. Dollar the major stock indexes around the world seem to come under pressure. The opposite is true when the U.S. Dollar strengthens against the Japanese Yen, the stock market will inflate and trade higher. Keep the USD/JPY chart up at all times as it seems to be the most important chart that a trader can follow at this time.

Last night, the Nikkei 225 Index (Japan) declined by more than 5.0 percent. This tells us that traders should watch for weakness in the leading Japanese ADR's and related equities. Leading Japanese stocks such as Toyota Motor Corporation (TM), Canon Inc. (CAJ), Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (HMC), and Sony Corporation (SNE) could all be volatile today.
