Stock market today: Dow leads stocks down as rally takes a break before CPI report

The US stock market experienced a downturn as investors reflected on whether recent buying was excessive and the implications of President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet selections on future policies. Major indices like the Dow Jones and S&P 500 saw declines, particularly affected by Boeing's poor delivery figures due to strikes. Analysts suggest that with rising exposure to US equities, profit-taking may soon occur. The focus is now on upcoming economic data, especially the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which could influence Federal Reserve decisions regarding interest rates. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has surged close to $90,000, suggesting strong market sentiment towards cryptocurrencies despite mixed reactions in related stocks like Coinbase and Tesla.
