Futures are little changed following a mostly quiet night of news as investors look ahead to today’s CPI report.

Economically, the UK unemployment rate and German ZEW Business Expectations Index both beat expectations (although they aren’t moving markets).
Today focus will be on the CPI report and expectations are as follows: CPI (E: 0.1% m/m, 3.3% y/y), Core CPI (E: 0.3% m/m, 4.1% y/y).
