What matters this morning (08:00 ET run)

- Today’s catalyst calendar (Fed speakers / macro) is Unavailable for the specific day’s time-stamped lineup from primary sources in this pull. The Fed’s March 2026 calendar page is available but doesn’t cleanly enumerate “today’s” market-moving speaker times in our scrape. (federalreserve.gov)

Risks to today’s setup
- Data quality risk: several “live” cross-asset fields are Unavailable from verifiable primary/public sources in this pull, so positioning off them risks anchoring to stale/delayed prints.
- Headline gap risk into the cash open: without a verified last-24h wire headline set (Reuters/WSJ/CNBC/company IR), the market’s main driver could be missed until after 09:30 ET.
