On September 11, 2024, the stock market saw a recovery after a volatile trading day, largely influenced by U.S. inflation data. The S&P 500 rose by 1.07%, closing at 5,554.13, while the Nasdaq Composite surged 2.17% to finish at 17,395.53. The gains were driven by strong performances in technology and semiconductor stocks, notably Nvidia and AMD. Despite concerns over slightly higher-than-expected core inflation figures, which dampened expectations for significant interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, investors reacted positively with a notable rebound in tech shares. Additionally, uranium stocks rallied due to news of potential export limitations by Russia, with companies like Cameco and Uranium Energy Corp experiencing significant gains.
