S&P 500, Nasdaq end at record closing highs as moderate inflation lifts rate hopes
Moderate 2.7% inflation in July raised market confidence with traders pricing a 94% chance of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September, boosting major US indexes.
- On Tuesday, the S&P 500 index rose 1.1% and the Nasdaq composite climbed 1.4%, both closing at record highs on Wall Street.
- Amid signs of moderating price pressures, last month’s report showed U.S. consumer prices increased 2.7% year-over-year, better than economists expected.
- Pricing in cuts, money markets see about a 90% chance of a Fed reduction next month, rising to 94% from nearly 86%.
- Stocks got a lift from hopes the Federal Reserve will cut rates at its next meeting in September, and two-year Treasury yields slid four basis points to 3.73%.
- With more data due, the Federal Reserve will receive one more inflation report and one more on the U.S. job market before Sept. 17, although some economists warn that twists could complicate decisions.
