US equity futures are indicating a higher open as of 04:45 ET. This follows mixed markets in Asia, while European equity markets are higher. The market awaits the next batch of US data, following Tuesday's CPI report. Today we get the PPI which feeds into the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, and Retail Sales which will show the strength of the US consumer. In Asia, BOJ tightening speculation continues to mount with the Nikkei reporting the board to discuss scrapping the NIRP at next week's meeting.
