Global markets:
Overseas, Asian stocks are mostly higher on Thursday as investors watch for market reaction to the latest Fed minutes.
U.S. stocks moved slightly higher on Wednesday as investors pored over the latest minutes from the Federal Reserve.
Federal Reserve officials recognized that a more restrictive stance in policy could be suitable if inflation doesn't ease, even if it slows the economy, the meeting minutes said. Fed officials also said a hike of 50 or 75 basis points would be likely at the July meeting.
Participants recognized that policy firming could slow the pace of economic growth for a time, but they saw the return of inflation to 2 percent as critical to achieving maximum employment on a sustained basis, the document said.
