NEW YORK, April 8 — US and European stocks moved in opposite directions on Thursday, with Wall Street shrugging off two losing sessions as investors reassess equity valuations in light of the Federal Reserve’s tougher stance on inflation.

March brought the first Fed hike since it slashed US rates to zero when the Covid-19 pandemic broke out two years ago, and officials say more are on the way.
