[HEADING=2]Five Things You Need to Know to Start Your Day[/HEADING]
[HEADING=1][/HEADING]
[HEADING=1]50 points[/HEADING]
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell [said]('https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-21/powell-says-fed-ready-to-hike-faster-go-restrictive-if-needed?srnd=premium-europe&sref=A5sD80HK') Monday that the central bank is prepared to raise interest rates by 50 basis points at its next meeting in May if needed. His comments — a more hawkish tone than just a few days previously — [sparked]('https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-21/bonds-suffer-one-of-worst-days-in-a-decade-as-fed-spurs-rethink?srnd=premium-europe&sref=A5sD80HK') a flurry of market moves, with yields across much of the curve soaring to the highest since 2019. Market participants [said]('https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-21/-waking-everyone-up-wall-street-reacts-to-powell-s-hawkishness?srnd=premium-europe&sref=A5sD80HK') he was essentially shifting from a "jobs at any cost" policy stance to a "kill inflation at any cost" stance.

[HEADING=1]Russia pays debt[/HEADING]
Speaking of bonds, foreign holders of Russia’s sovereign bond maturing in 2029 are watching their accounts after the government said a $66 million payment had been made to its local depository. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said forces were still holding Russian troops at bay on many fronts and indicated that the nation would hold [a referendum]('https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-22/ukraine-update-biden-flags-cyberattacks-says-putin-desperate?srnd=premium-europe') on the terms of any potential peace agreement. U.S. President Joe Biden warned about new indications of [possible Russian cyberattacks]('https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-21/biden-says-russia-weighs-cyberattack-urges-corporate-vigilance?srnd=premium-europe').

[HEADING=1]Markets Live Survey[/HEADING]
Investors [reckon]('https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-22/most-central-banks-seen-as-behind-the-curve-in-global-survey') that most central banks are behind the curve on battling inflation, according to a survey undertaken last week by Bloomberg Markets Live. Value stocks are seen as the best place to hide against rising prices, followed by gold and inflation-linked bonds. Bitcoin came in last, a result that undermines the idea that the cryptocurrency is perceived as a popular haven from inflation. Not surprisingly, the conflict in Ukraine was seen as the biggest unpriced risk for asset prices.

[HEADING=1]Stocks climb[/HEADING]
Stocks are trading firmer, led by the banking and insurance sectors in Europe. The Stoxx 600 gained 0.5% while U.S. equity futures clawed their way back to gains after a subdued session in Asia. Bond markets continue a retreat after Monday’s selloff. The dollar has taken a small knock, reversing modest gains made in Asia. Oil futures also trade poorly, albeit after several days of gains. In the metals space, LME nickel has finally managed to stay within the daily limit imposed by the exchange, so far down just over 9%. Spot gold is down roughly $12, near $1,923/oz.

[HEADING=1]Coming up...[/HEADING]
The Richmond Fed's Manufacturing Survey at 10 a.m. and Canada's Industrial Product Prices at 8:30 a.m. are the only releases of note. Watch out for commentary from central bankers though: there's a BIS Innovation Summit as well as the fourth annual joint conference of the Deutsche Bundesbank, European Central Bank and Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. We have scheduled appearances from ECB President Christine Lagarde and others, including members of the Fed. In earnings, Adobe Inc. and Carnival Corp. are due to report.

Think about all those rite aids and cvs giving out free in some cases (vaccines) the foot traffic that will bring in....and they purposely locate pharmacies in the back of the stores so you will be motivated to impulse buy!!! These are not high flyers but still......

MODERNA at 100 now....should go up this week on vaccine news

Fox Biz:: Tesla $4200 by 2026… C22…
