Stocks soar on wholesale inflation slowdown; Fed rate cut hopes rise | Stan Choe

NEW YORK—US stocks rallied Tuesday to one of their best days of the year after the first of several highly anticipated reports on the economy this week came in better than expected.

Treasury yields eased in the bond market following the inflation data, as traders remain convinced the Fed’s meeting next month will bring the first cut to interest rates since the Covid crash of 2020. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 3.84 percent from 3.91 percent late Monday. Such questions weigh because even cuts to interest rates haven’t been enough for stocks to rise significantly in the ensuing 18 months if a recession hits, according to Chris Haverland, global equity strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute.

Elsewhere on Wall Street, Starbucks soared 24.5 percent after it convinced Brian Niccol to leave his job as CEO of Chipotle Mexican Grill to take over the coffee chain. He will start as chairman and chief executive next month and will replace Laxman Narasimhan, who is stepping down immediately. Japan’s market has been viciously volatile recently, including the worst drop for the Nikkei 225 since the Black Monday crash of 1987. It’s been swinging since a hike to interest rates by the Bank of Japan forced many hedge funds and other investors to abandon a popular trade all at once, where they had borrowed Japanese yen at cheap rates to invest elsewhere. The forced selling that followed the surge in the Japanese yen’s value reverberated around the world.

Nvidia, the company whose chips are powering much of the move into AI, has been at the center of the action. After soaring more than 170 percent through the year’s first six and a half months, it plunged more than 20 percent over the ensuing three weeks.
