Title: US Stocks Plummet Following Unexpected Inflation Surge
In a heavy trading session on Wednesday, US stocks experienced a significant downturn as the latest inflation report came in hotter than anticipated, unsettling investors. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for March showed a 3.8% year-over-year increase, surpassing economists' forecasts. This led to a drastic reassessment of expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping by 470 points. The report essentially eradicated any anticipation of a rate cut in June, with market odds adjusting to a 0% chance from the 57% previously anticipated. Bond yields experienced an uptick, with the 10-year Treasury yield climbing by 10 basis points to 4.474%. This inflation uptick suggests a more cautious outlook from the Fed regarding any near-term rate cuts, impacting various market sectors and leading investors to adjust their portfolios in response.
