What matters this morning (US) — Sun, Mar 15, 2026 (~08:00 ET run)
- US index futures snapshot is not verifiable right now from CME/CBOE/ICE public dashboards without paid/blocked feeds; third‑party quotes are stale (last update seen: Fri, Mar 13). (investing.com)
- Risk tone (stale): third‑party quotes show ES -0.62%, NQ -0.67%, RTY -0.41% (as of Fri, Mar 13), so treat as directional context only. (investing.com)
- Single-stock premarket “movers” lists available (e.g., ULTA, ADBE lower; LEN higher), but the page timestamps show Fri, Mar 13—not live for Sun, Mar 15. (investing.com)
- Crypto is live via tool: Bitcoin $71,840 (+1.74%) (tool print at 05:41 ET).
- Today’s scheduled US earnings (Sun): one calendar source flags ZEPP as “postmarket” today, but this is not an exchange/IR primary source; treat as tentative until confirmed on company IR. (trendspider.com)
- Fed next FOMC: the Fed’s published schedule has the next meeting Tue–Wed, Mar 18–19, 2026 (a near-term macro catalyst for rates/risk). (federalreserve.gov)

Risks to today’s setup
- Data quality risk (weekend): many “live” market pages are showing Friday, Mar 13 timestamps; using them as Sunday ~08:00 ET inputs can mislead positioning. (investing.com)
- Macro event risk: the Mar 18–19 FOMC is close enough to drive pre-positioning and rate-vol. (federalreserve.gov)
