On April 9, Reuters reported that the Israeli military stated on Thursday that it killed the nephew of Naim Qassem, the Iranian-backed leader of Hezbollah, during a nighttime raid in Beirut, not Naim Qassem himself. Naim Qassem has held a senior position in Hezbollah for over 30 years and is set to officially become the new leader of Hezbollah in 2024. In 2024, with U.S. support, Israel and Hezbollah reached a ceasefire agreement, ending over a year of fighting. However, Israel has continued to regularly strike what it identifies as Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. Since the assassination of former Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei, Hezbollah has launched attacks against Israel. Since then, Israeli actions have resulted in the deaths of over a thousand people in Lebanon.

On April 9, the market anticipates that the U.S. February PCE data will show persistent inflationary pressures. According to consensus expectations, the February PCE is expected to rise by 0.4% month-on-month, while year-on-year it remains at 2.8%; core PCE is projected to be around 3.0%, significantly above the Fed's 2% target. Analysts point out that the core drivers of this round of inflation rebound stem from rising commodity prices and increasing energy costs, while 'super core service inflation' remains quite sticky and is unlikely to decline significantly in the short term. Against this backdrop, the Fed is expected to maintain the interest rate range of 3.50%-3.75% at the April meeting, marking a third consecutive pause in rate cuts. Market pricing has also quickly shifted: currently, over 97% of traders are betting on a hold in April, with expectations for rate cuts this year significantly cooling, and the mainstream view shifting towards a 'later and less' easing path.
