金融業的下滑也反映在房地產業，費城住房指數下跌 1.4%，房地產精選行業 SPDR 基金 (XLRE) 下跌 0.6%。

Economic indicators provided further cause for concern. Initial jobless claims in the United States climbed to 221,000 in the week ending March 30, marking the highest level since January. This unexpected increase raised fears of a potential slowdown in the labor market.

經濟指標進一步令人擔憂。截至 3 月 30 日當週，美國首次申請失業救濟人數攀升至 221,000 人，創下 1 月以來的最高水準。這一意外的成長引發了人們對勞動市場可能放緩的擔憂。

Meanwhile, the US international trade deficit widened to $68.9 billion in February, fueled by a surge in imports. The larger trade gap suggests that the US economy is struggling to keep pace with global demand.

同時，在進口激增的推動下，美國 2 月國際貿易逆差擴大至 689 億美元。較大的貿易逆差顯示美國經濟正努力跟上全球需求的腳步。

在企業方面，美國銀行（BAC）面臨瑞銀的評級下調，理由是由於已經計入了業務勢頭，上行潛力有限。該券商將 BAC 評級下調至中性，並將目標價從 39 美元上調至 40 美元。美國銀行股價下跌 1.5%。

Morgan Stanley (MS) found itself managing the sale of approximately 4.8 billion euros ($5.2 billion) of loans from distressed Greek banks, according to Bloomberg. This announcement weighed on MS shares, which declined 1%.

根據彭博社報道，摩根士丹利 (MS) 發現自己正在管理來自陷入困境的希臘銀行的約 48 億歐元（52 億美元）貸款的出售。該公告令 MS 股價承壓，下跌 1%。

In contrast, Bitcoin (BTC/USD) surged 3.9% to $68,570, defying the market's bearish sentiment. The yield on 10-year US Treasuries also fell 5 basis points to 4.31%.

相比之下，比特幣（BTC/USD）飆升 3.9% 至 68,570 美元，無視市場的看跌情緒。 10年期美國公債殖利率也下跌5個基點至4.31%。

However, the biggest market-moving event is yet to come. On Friday, the US nonfarm payrolls report for March is scheduled for release at 8:30 am ET. Economists predict a modest increase of 215,000 jobs, with the unemployment rate falling slightly to 3.8%. A deviation from these forecasts could have significant implications for financial markets.

然而，影響市場的最大事件尚未到來。美國東部時間週五上午 8:30 將公佈 3 月美國非農業就業報告。經濟學家預測就業將小幅增加21.5萬個，失業率小幅下降至3.8%。偏離這些預測可能會對金融市場產生重大影響。

在市場動盪之際，Coinbase (COIN) 發布了一項引人注目的公告，成為加拿大最大且首家註冊為受限交易商的國際加密貨幣交易所。這項舉措並未受到熱烈歡迎，COIN 股價小幅下跌 0.2%。

Carlyle (CG) also made headlines with a potential sale of StandardAero, which could value the company at approximately $10 billion, according to Reuters. This news had a minimal impact on CG shares, which dipped 0.2%.

根據路透社報道，凱雷 (CG) 也因可能出售 StandardAero 而成為頭條新聞，這可能使該公司估值約 100 億美元。消息對 CG 股價影響甚微，下跌 0.2%。

As the trading day concluded, financial stocks continued to languish, reflecting the broader market's unease. The path ahead remains uncertain, with geopolitical tensions and economic concerns casting a shadow over the markets. Investors will be closely monitoring Friday's employment data for clues on the trajectory of the economy and the future of financial stocks.
