Tonight, important data from the U.S. stock market is coming! Pay attention to the PPI data and the number of initial unemployment claims for the week

At 8:30 PM Beijing time tonight, the United States will release two key economic data points: the number of initial jobless claims for the week ending March 9 and the Producer Price Index (PPI) for February. These two data points are seen as critical indicators of the U.S. labor market and inflation levels, which may influence the Federal Reserve's future monetary policy path, drawing significant market attention.
