Financial Market Preview - Thursday 11-Apr

The data prompted another round of hawkish rate re-pricing with futures pricing in two Fed cuts in 2024 - one less than Fed's median projection. Focus is on the ECB’s decision today, as well as FX intervention watch after the Yen broke below the closely watched 152-per dollar handle. Companies mentioned: Nippon Steel, US Steel
