Here is what you need to know on Thursday, March 11:

Markets maintained bullish sentiment on Wednesday with some struggles seen in the tech sector. The Nasdaq was the only major index to finish in the red yesterday as inflation worries were pushed to one side after benign US CPI and a calm US 10 year bond auction. Roblox took its time but eventually opened on the NYSE yesterday. The reference price had been set at $45 but this was quickly dismissed as Roblox gamers/investors! pushed the price to a high of $74.83. 

Thursday sees more green in evidence with overnight Asian market strength helping. A sliding US 10 year yield, now under 1.5%, further stimulus checks imminent and continued ECB money printing have all helped calm inflation fears. The Dollar is weaker at 1.1966 versus the Euro and Oil rose to $66 on the back of falling US inventories and Gold rose to $1730 as yields fell.
