US markets opened lower on Thursday as investors were spooked by sharply rising inflation, with the CPI Index showing a 7.5% annual gain in January. Even so, the impact of this has been partially offset by positive earnings reports after the bell on Wednesday.

Oil prices are roughly level, while Bitcoin (BTC) is lower and gold is up.
