Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Slide 0.4% Amid Inflation Heat and Oil Surge
Yahoo Finance ·
U.S. equities experienced a synchronized downturn on Thursday morning as hot wholesale inflation data and rising crude prices rattled investors. By 11:53 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.4 percent, mirroring the 0.4 percent declines seen in both the Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500. August producer prices advanced 5.4 percent compared to the previous year, accelerating from July's 4.8 percent increase. Core wholesale prices grew 4.6 percent annually, up from 4.2 percent in July. Most notably, diesel prices surged 24.1 percent in a single month and approximately 78 percent year-over-year. Concurrently, Brent crude climbed about 3.5 percent to surpass 105 dollars a barrel for the first time since May, while U.S. crude crossed the 100 dollars threshold. As pricing pressures mounted, the implied probability of a Federal Reserve rate hike next week jumped to 70 percent, driving broader market losses while energy funds posted rare gains.
