Stocks are down on Thursday, but it’s not due to any negative news that’s affecting the market today.
Instead, it looks like stocks are simply taking a break from recent rallies that have sent shares higher. Those rallies came about after the October Consumer Price Index (CPI) was released earlier this week.
The data in the October CPI report showed that inflation was cooling down. That saw those numbers come in below experts’ expectations. That’s a positive sign for the stock market and has experts believing the Federal Reserve won’t plan for any interest rate increases in the near term.
The Fed has been attempting to curb inflation over the last year with a series of interest rate increases. That’s been weighing on the stock market as well. While it doesn’t seem like any interest rate drops will be happening anytime soon, investors are still celebrating the pause on increases.
