The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.56% was up more than 650 points, or 2% soon after the opening bell, while the S&P 500 SPX, +2.46% gained 2.6% and the Nasdaq Composite COMP, +3.47% jumped 3.7%, according to FactSet data, at last check.

Inflation, as measured by the consumer-price index, edged up 0.1% in November for a year-over-year rate of 7.1%, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said Tuesday.

So-called core CPI, which excludes energy and food prices, showed the cost of living in the U.S. increased 0.2% in November for a rise of 6% over the past 12 months.
