- US indices launched today's cash trading sharply lower
- US CPI inflation above expectations
- Oracle (ORCL.US) stock falls despite upbeat revenue figures
US indices fell sharply on Tuesday following disappointing CPI inflation reading. The Dow plunged 1.8%, and the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq lost 2.3% and 3.0%, respectively as monthly CPI unexpectedly rose 0.1%, against analysts' expectation of a 0.1% contraction, and the headline fell only to 8.3%, while markets expected 8.1%. Money markets have priced in a 75 bp hike next week and placed almost 20% odds on 100 bp.
US500 fell sharply following the release of CPI figures and gave back a significant part of recent gains and is currently approaching psychological support at 4000.0 pts. Should break lower occur, the next target for sellers is located at 3800 pts which coincides with 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the upward wave launched in March 2020. Source: xStation5
