The Business News Headlines 11 April 2024

Before we get into the headlines from today a partly personal message of thanks! So many folks in the world of social media reached out today to wish me a happy birthday and I am deeply grateful. Many of us have known each other way before social media became a thing and I sincerely do treasure those friendships. We kick things off today with a story about mortgage rates.  And, a reminder, you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too.  Here's what we've got for you today:

• Treasury rates and mortgage rates;
• Football legend O.J. Simpson dies;
• Mortgage rates inch up to near 7%;
• Europe is talking about rate cuts in June;
• A deeper look at the unemployment numbers;
• More news about the Boeing investigation;
• The Wall Street Report;
• Apple is making it easier to repair the iPhone.

Thanks for listening!
