US OPEN: Wall Street gains despite stronger-than-expected inflation figures

15:02 11 May 2022
  • US stocks bounced of recent lows
  • US CPI inflation above expectations
  • Coinbase (COIN.US) stock plunges after unexpected quarterly loss

US indices launched today's session lower after a highly anticipated CPI inflation report showed that price pressures remain elevated which may force FED to act more aggressively. Nevertheless, the downward move turned out to be short-lived and major bourses are moving higher. 

US30 fell sharply during yesterday's session, however buyers managed to halt declines around major support at 31980 pts which is marked with lower limit of the 1:1 structure and previous price reactions. Today the index attempts to move higher despite the disappointing inflation report. If bulls manage to maintain control,  upward move may accelerate towards local resistance at 33185 pts, which coincides with 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the last downward correction.
