What matters this morning (ET)
- Geopolitics → energy/inflation risk still the macro overhang. Oil’s direction remains the swing factor for US risk as markets weigh Middle East headlines and inflation pass-through. (home.saxo)
- Rates catalyst: U.S. Treasury auctions hit midweek. A 10-year note auction is scheduled for today (Wed, Mar 11, 2026), keeping duration supply in focus. (home.treasury.gov)
- Fed optics: Atlanta Fed leadership-search public forum today. Not a policy signal, but it’s on the calendar and can create headline noise. (atlantafed.org)
- Crypto: Bitcoin is lower overnight. Risk sentiment tailwind from crypto is not present this morning.
- Single-stock tape (premarket movers, upgrades/downgrades, major “last 24h” headlines): Unavailable from approved non-gated sources in this run. (CNBC blocked; Reuters/WSJ/Bloomberg links surfaced were gated or not verifiable directly.)
