-While other Asia-Pacific markets opened mixed this morning, Japan’s Nikkei 225 crossed 41,000 to hit a fresh all-time high as Japan inflation accelerated in February.

-Overnight in the US, all three major indexes hit fresh records, continuing the rally from Thursday after the US Federal Reserve held rates steady and maintained its rate cut forecast for 2024.

-Oil prices sank in early Asian trading on the possibility of a nearing Gaza ceasefire, which could loosen global supply, at the same time a stronger U.S. dollar and faltering gasoline dampened demand sentiment. Brent crude futures fell to $85.60 a barrel.
