Where it stands
US stock indexes, led by the Nasdaq, ended higher after the release of cooling inflation data for June. The S&P 500 and Dow futures also saw upward movement, supported by record bank earnings and an increased appetite for risk.
Coverage from Investopedia, Yahoo Finance, and CNBC emphasizes the role of softer-than-expected inflation in lifting the markets. WGAL and WMTW report that the June cooling was influenced by a drop in oil prices, though they note that prices increased in some areas while dropping in others.
Attention is now focused on specific equities including ASTS, ATAI, AAPL, and PYPL, while IBM's gains are being monitored after holding some of those gains in check.
