May 14 (Reuters) - Futures tracking Wall Street's main
indexes turned lower on Tuesday after a stronger-than-expected
producer inflation print dampened hopes of interest rate cuts
from the Federal Reserve this year.
A Labor Department report showed the producer price index
(PPI) rose 0.5% month-on-month in April, compared with a 0.3%
increase expected by economists polled by Reuters. Annually, it
rose 2.2%, in line with estimates.
The core figure, excluding volatile food and energy items,
rose 0.5% month-on-month, compared with an estimated 0.2%
increase. On an annual basis, it rose 2.4% versus estimates of
2.4%.
At 08:32 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were down 39 points,
or 0.1%, S&P 500 E-minis were down 10 points, or 0.19%,
and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were down 61.5 points, or 0.34%.
