Morning, Traders!
It is Thursday the 2nd of March, here are some things to look out for today.

As market sentiment soured, a dollar index rose, while risk-sensitive currencies led declines among a group of ten peers. European bond yields rose as well, and core inflation in the eurozone reached a new high.
European stocks and equity futures in the United States fell.
