  • “In addition, monthly growth in wholesale inventories is expected to slow to 0.3% in February following consecutive +1% m/m prints in December-January.”
  • “Lastly, the publication of the Federal Reserve's Beige Book will also garner attention as market participants look for further clues regarding the evolution of economic activity at the end of the March/start of April.”
