U.S. stock indices rose on Thursday, extending their gains after signs of a slight decline in consumer inflation pushed Wall Street to record highs on hopes of interest rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The S&P 500 rose 1.2%, the NASDAQ Composite 1.4%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average 0.9%, bringing all three indices to all-time highs by the close of Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CPI cooldown boosts September rate cut bets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday’s data indicated that CPI inflation rose in April at a slower month-on-month pace than estimated, while core CPI, which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, increased by 3.6% year-over-year, down from 3.8% in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although inflation fell in April, it still remains well above the Fed’s 2% annual target. This follows Tuesday’s higher-than-expected producer price index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given these developments, the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut in September has increased to 53.8%, according to CME’s FedWatch tool, up from 49.0% the previous week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weak April retail sales data, released on Wednesday, also raised hopes that inflation may cool in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More data due on Thursday includes weekly jobless claims, the Philly Fed manufacturing index, and comments from several Fed officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chubb hits record highs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the corporate sector, low-cost retailer Walmart (WMT) is set to report its quarterly results on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, shares of Chubb (CB) rose nearly 10% and hit an all-time high in pre-market trading after Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRKa) reported purchasing a $6.72 billion stake in the insurer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cisco Systems (CSCO) rose nearly 5% after the communications equipment maker reported a better-than-expected quarterly profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shares of Meta Platforms (META) fell about 0.5% as the European Commission launched an investigation into the company for potential breaches of the bloc’s online content law related to child safety risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two-day rally in so-called meme stocks faded on Wednesday, with GameStop (GME) and AMC Entertainment (AMC) losing nearly 20% during the session. Both companies experienced additional double-digit losses in pre-market trading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
