The US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that Congress needs to act to protect US credit. In addition to that, US President Joe Biden will speak to US Senator Joe Manchin, the centrist Democrat from coal-rich West Virginia whose vote is critical to the passage of the budget reconciliation bill pending in Congress.
On the other hand, the Japanese yen gained on its safe-haven appeal amid higher pricing pressure due to soaring energy prices. It is worth noting that, S&P 500 Future is trading at 4,473.50, down 0.09% for the day.
