Markets are lower this morning, with all four major equity index futures in the red and the Nasdaq 100 (/NQ) as the worst performer as computer chip companies pull back from highs.

The latest Consumer Price Index report is expected to show inflation at nearly three-year highs with consensus forecasts coming in at an annual rate of 3.7%, partially due to surging oil prices.

Some notable names are slumping after earnings with AST Spacemobile (ASTS) down almost -12% after a revenue miss, while Hims & Hers Health (HIMS) is down -15% after reporting a quarterly loss. Other economic data today includes the ADP Employment Report, while today’s earnings feature Oklo (OKLO), JD.com (JD), and On Holdings (ONON).
