The main European stock markets were mixed today, after Thursday's widespread losses, in a session focused on the US January consumer price index (CPI) reading.

Today, the US Bureau of Labour Statistics (BLS) will release January's Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, which is expected to show a slight slowdown in year-on-year growth.

Thus, if expectations are met, both headline and core inflation will be at their lowest levels in months. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) will pay close attention to the evolution of this variable to inform its monetary policy.

Wall Street futures are showing moderate declines at this time, down 0.23% for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and 0.17% for the Nasdaq, moderating Thursday's declines.

Meanwhile, in Spain, the Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE) revised year-on-year inflation downward by one tenth to 2.3% in January, due to lower increases in electricity and reductions in fuel and lubricant prices.

As for precious metals, gold and silver, which fell around 3% and 10%, respectively, on Thursday, are now rising.

In the commodities market, Brent, the benchmark crude oil in Europe, for April delivery, fell to $67.42, compared to $67.52 in the previous session.
