U.S. stocks climb after PPI eases inflation pressure; S&P 500 up 0.65% and Nasdaq 100 gains 1.15%
A softer-than-expected US PPI reinforced the disinflation narrative, pushing 10Y Treasury yields lower and reducing implied odds of a September Fed hike. Risk assets responded positively, lifting US equities led by tech and semis, helped by lower crude prices and upbeat Q2 earnings momentum. Offsetting idiosyncratic weakness in select tech names did not derail the broader bid for equities and duration.
