Wall Street rallies as inflation holds steady, rate cut hopes rise

Wall Street rallies as inflation holds steady, rate cut hopes rise

U.S. stock markets closed sharply higher on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting new record highs after inflation data came in below expectations, boosting investor confidence in a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.7% year-on-year in July, unchanged from June, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Analysts surveyed by Trading Economics and MarketWatch had expected a rise to 2.8%.

Cooling price pressures reinforced expectations that the Fed could cut rates by 25 basis points as early as September, with market participants now seeing a 90% chance of such a move.

Small business sentiment also improved, with the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index climbing to a five-month high of 100.3 in July from 98.6 in June.

Among major movers, United Airlines shares jumped 10.2%, Delta Air Lines gained 9.2%, and Southwest Airlines rose 5.7%. Tech giants Apple (+1.1%), Microsoft (+1.4%), and Alphabet (+1.2%) also posted gains.

Cardinal Health dropped 7.2% after announcing a $1.9 billion acquisition of Solaris Health. Shares in McDonald’s fell 0.9%, IBM and Johnson & Johnson were down 0.6%, and Mosaic lost 4%.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 483.52 points (+1.1%) to 44,458.61, the S&P 500 gained 72.31 points (+1.1%) to 6,445.76, and the Nasdaq Co.
