Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq trade mixed as inflation print keeps Fed rate cut on track

Published On Nov 13, 2024, 11:05 AM

US stock markets showed mixed results as investors reacted to fresh consumer inflation data that aligned with forecasts. The Consumer Price Index for October indicated a year-over-year rise of 2.6%, maintaining inflation awareness among investors and keeping the Federal Reserve on track for a possible interest rate cut in December. With 80% of traders anticipating this rate cut, market volatility remains a concern. Notably, Tesla's stock faced pressure despite CEO Elon Musk's new role in government, while Rivian's stock surged due to increased investment from Volkswagen, indicating a shift in the electric vehicle landscape.
