Markets Move Lower: Oil Flows Stalled, China Summit Looms
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.
