US equity futures are indicating a lower open as of 05:30 ET. European equity markets are lower, following mostly higher markets in Asia, with Japan the best performer. Attention will turn to FOMC minutes today, though it is unlikely to sway the immediate debate over whether the next hikes will be 50 or 75 bps. European markets are taking their lead from UK inflation data, which was the UK's first double-digit inflation print in 40 years in July.
