US futures are pointing to a higher open as of 04:05 ET. European equity markets have opened mixed to lower, following broad weakness in Asian markets. Mixed US CPI showed hotter-than-expected headline and pickup in services inflation, though core was in-line with expectations. Data reinforced Fed's higher-for-longer message and led markets to dial up odds of another rate hike to 50% from 30%.
