Most US stocks fall after a disappointing inflation update, but Big Tech keeps Wall Street steady
Amazon's 2.9% stock gain helped offset losses for 70% of S&P 500 stocks as U.S. wholesale inflation rose 3.3% year-over-year, shaking rate cut expectations, analysts said.
- Following a disappointing inflation report revealing a 3.3% year-over-year rise in wholesale prices last month, most U.S. stocks declined during Thursday’s trading session.
- The higher-than-expected inflation data forced traders to reassess a near-certain Fed rate cut next month, reducing the chance to about 7.2% that rates hold steady in September.
- The reassessment prompted a rise in bond yields, with the 10-year Treasury yield increasing from 4.20% to 4.26%, while the Russell 2000, which tracks smaller U.S. companies, fell sharply by 1.5%.
- Chris Larkin, managing director at E-Trade from Morgan Stanley, indicated that while a September rate reduction is still possible, recent developments could introduce some uncertainty about it.
- Despite broad losses, gains in Amazon's stock and other Big Tech firms helped keep the S&P 500 nearly unchanged, suggesting cautious investor confidence amid mixed economic signals.
