June 11 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures turned

positive on Wednesday as a cooler-than-expected consumer

inflation report calmed worries around President Donald Trump's

tariffs worsening price pressures.

A Labor Department report showed the Consumer Price Index

(CPI) rose 0.1% on a monthly basis in May, versus the 0.2%

increase forecast by economists polled by Reuters. Annually, it

stood at 2.4%, compared with an estimated 2.5% rise.

The core figure, which excludes volatile food and energy

components, rose 0.1% on a monthly basis, while expectations

were for a 0.3% advance. Annually, it came in at 2.8%, versus an

estimated 2.9% increase.

At 08:31 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were up 107 points, or

0.25%, S&P 500 E-minis were up 23 points, or 0.38%, and

Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 105.5 points, or 0.48%.
