CNBC: Futures lower; Street eyes oil, central banks
 
U.S. stock index futures indicated a lower open on Thursday morning, following declines in European markets.

"I think this is a global growth play and global growth scare that continues to show economies in the rest of the world struggling and investors are wondering if central banks are starting to run out of bullets," said Nick Raich, CEO of The Earnings Scout. "That's the trade. We don't think that's the case."

He also attributed some of the morning's decline to a pullback after several weeks of gains.

Major European stock indexes were slightly lower, with the STOXX Europe 600 off a third of a percent and the STOXX Europe 600 Banks index underperforming, trading about 1.4 percent lower.
Treasury yields were lower as the German 10-year bund yield fell.
The yen strengthened further against the U.S dollar, trading near 108.4 yen as of 8:56 a.m., ET, after hitting its strongest against the greenback since October 2014.

U.S. stocks closed near session highs Wednesday, led by gains in energy and health care stocks.

There'll also be more comment from Fed members later in the evening when Kansas City Fed President Esther George speaks at 8:15 p.m. ET.

On Wednesday, investors digested the latest set of minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).

Minutes from the March meeting suggested a divided central bank, with many policymakers showing caution towards an interest rate hike in April, while others indicated that it was justified.
