“Japan published the preliminary estimate of the February Leading Economic Index, which improved from 98.5 to 99.7 but missed the market’s expectations of 100.7. The Coincident Index for the same period contracted from 90.3 to 89. The US will publish the February Trade Balance, expected to post a deficit of $-70.5 billion.”
