June 13 (Reuters) -The S&P 500 and the Dow indexes slipped on Thursday as investors weighed hawkishFederal Reserve projections against data signaling coolinginflation,though strength in chip stocks supportedthe Nasdaq.
Nasdaq component Broadcom AVGO.O soared 12.2% to hit a record high after the chipmaker raised its forecast for revenue from semiconductors used in artificial intelligence (AI) technology. It also announced a 10-for-1 forward stock split.
AI chip leader Nvidia NVDA.O rose 2.8%, pushing thePhiladelphia SE Semiconductor Index .SOX 1% higher to an all-time peak.
The information technology sector .SPLRCT also hit a record high, but nineof the other 11 major S&P 500 sectors were in the red.
The S&P 500's pullback came a day after the index notched its third consecutive record close.
A LaborDepartment report showed the U.S. producer price index (PPI) unexpectedly fell 0.2% month-on-month in May, compared with a 0.1% increase expected by economists polled by Reuters.
Separately, the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits increased to a 10-month high last week.
Markets lifted bets on a September start to rate cuts to nearly 68% from 60% before the data, according to the CME's FedWatch tool.
That was despite policymakers projecting only one rate cut this year in the Fed's policy statement on Wednesday, despite softer-than-expected U.S. consumer inflation data.
"For the markets, there's some uncertainty - yesterday's dot plot was hawkish because they went from three rate cuts to one rate cut predicted in 2024," said Sonu Varghese, global macro strategist at the Carson Group.
"Markets are reflecting that volatility," Varghese said, but added hestill sees a September rate cut on the table.
UBS Global Research said it now expects the Fed to cut interest rates in December instead of September, while Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley continue to expect the first cut in September.

Amid the optimism,questions also remained over whether the economy was slowing too quickly, with an index of economically sensitive small-cap stocks .RUT slipping 1.4% after rising more than 2.4% across thelast two sessions.
