[11:18am] The US markets are expected to open lower following yesterday's record breaking push in global markets.

This follows on from the European markets which have shown significant indecision today off the back of yesterday's strong performance.

The main event of the day was always set to be the UK CPI rate of inflation, which was widely expected to fall from 2.8% to 2.6%.

However, the surprise reduction to 2.4% sent shockwaves across the currency markets, sending the sterling-dollar pair lower by 30-40 points.

While many turned to the UK indices in expectation of a major boost off the back of increased expectation of monetary loosening, this simply did not happen.

The already buoyant FTSE 100 proceeded to turn to the downside and has since lost 12 points, returning closer to parity over the day so far.

This inability to gather the momentum for a further move to the upside could be related to a market where sellers are perhaps seeking highs to sell on more than where buyers are looking for dips to buy into.

Subsequently an inverse relationship is born where positive news sends markets lower and negative news brings a boost to the markets.

All in all, this points to an ever more unstable and irregular rally than we are currently exhibiting.

US markets are expected to open mixed, with the S&P 500 likely to open around 1.25 points lower and the Dow Jones set to add 6 points.
