US equity futures are indicating a lower open as of 04:45 ET. This follows broad weakness in Asia, with European equity markets also opening lower. The US Fed meeting and updated projections have triggered a hawkish reaction from markets. The BoE decision is finely balanced after yesterday's weaker-than-forecast inflation update, with markets putting the probability of a 25bp hike at ~50%.
