In the United States, inflation cooled above market expectations in June, leading to a dichotomy of early pyro-American stock movements on Tuesday. The fall in United States debt yields has supported the technology and property units, with the nano-indicators and the pedagogues high, but the pedestals have shown weak performance, and the upturn in oil prices has kept the market focused on subsequent price pressures.
June CPI was below expectations
In the United States, the consumer price index (CPI) increased by 3.5 per cent in June, down from 4.2 per cent in May and down from 3.8 per cent expected by economists. On a monthly basis, the CPI fell by 0.4 per cent in June, the largest single-month decline since April 2020.
The core CPI, after the removal of food and energy, was the same as in June, with an increase of 2.6 per cent over the same period, and both data were also below expectations. The 5.7 per cent decline in energy prices over the same period was one of the main drivers of the overall fall in prices during the month.
The return rate supports the technology unit.
After the publication of inflation data, the return on United States Treasury debt was low. The rate of return on the 10-year United States debt fell from 4.62 per cent on the Monday end of the week to about 4.57 per cent. The market then lowered its bet on the Federal Reserve's continued interest rate hike in July.
It was mentioned that traders had reduced the probability of the July Fed meeting to about 17 per cent. In the context of the expected fall in interest rates, growth-oriented company valuations were underpinned by a 0.5 per cent increase in the NASDAQ composite index and a 0.3 per cent increase in the Standard 500 index.
The IBM drops and drags down.
The Dow Jones industrial average was only slightly higher, mainly because of the marked fall in IBM stock prices. The CEO of IBM, Arvind Krishna, stated that clients shifted their expenditures to servers, storage and memory products before expected price increases, which affected the company ' s performance in the current season of software and infrastructure operations.
IBM indicated that it would provide year-round updates when the official performance was released on 22 July. At the same time, Brent crude oil broke by $86 per barrel and WTI crude oil by $80. Tensions between the United States and Iran around the Strait of Hormuz have escalated, keeping oil prices high after the previous day ' s surge.
