U.S. stocks opened higher on Thursday as traders digested a batch of strong U.S. economic data, while the market eagerly awaited the start of trading in chipmaker Arm, said to be the year’s most hotly anticipated IPO.
What’s driving markets Thursday was shaping up to be a busy session for markets, as investors digested an interest-rate hike by the European Central Bank and a spate of U.S. economic data all while waiting for chipmaker Arm to start trading after its shares priced at $51, the high end of its target range.
U.S. wholesale prices jumped 0.7% in August, according to the PPI index. The gain was largely because of rising energy costs, surpassing the 0.4% increase expected by economists polled by The Wall Street Journal. “With higher inflation and robust spending, the Fed is in a difficult spot,” said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Independent Advisor Alliance, in emailed commentary.
