Futures are trading higher after a wild Tuesday, when we warned everybody to get their popcorn ready because the inflation news could cause some fireworks, and sure enough, it did. The October consumer price index numbers came in hot, with analysts citing persistent nationwide price pressures. Headline CPI rose a seasonally adjusted 0.4% month-over-month, beating the 0.3% forecast but slowing from September's 0.6% jump, while Core CPI matched its prior monthly pace, climbing 0.3% and slightly exceeding the predicted 0.2% gain. CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV ) posted a very positive earnings report after the close yesterday, igniting a global tech rally this morning.
When it was all said and done on Tuesday, all of the major indices finished the day lower, as rate hike fears and concerns over the NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) situation brought out the sellers, which in turn pressured the Nasdaq, which closed down 0.74$ at 25,065, while the small-cap Russell 2000 was also hit, finishing the session at 2,823, down 0.60%. The S&P 500 closed Tuesday at 7,520, down 0.38%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was last seen at 52,231, down 0.30%. All indices closed well off the day's low.
