U.S. STOCKS RALLY FOR A SECOND DAY - CPI AT BAT
Wall Street logged a second straight day of solid gains on Wednesday as investors shrugged off the minutes from the Fed's September monetary policy meeting, at which they implemented the first interest rate cut in years.
All three major stock indexes closed sharply higher, with the blue-chip Dow .DJI out front.
Healthcare .SPXHC, tech .SPLRCT, banks .SPXBK, chips .SOX were among outperformers.
Utilities .SPLRCU finished in the red, where it was joined by communication services .SPLRCL after the Justice Department mulled the notion of forcing Google parent Alphabet GOOGL.O to divest parts of its business to address its search engine dominance.
Minutes from the Federal Reserve's most recent meeting, which were released two hours before the closing bell, and they showed a "substantial majority" of policymakers were in favor of the 50 basis point interest rate cut, a cut which seemed like a great idea until a spate of solid economic lowered expectations for additional rate cuts by the end of the year.
At last glance, financial markets are pricing in a 78.8% likelihood that the central bank will implement a smaller 25 bp rate cut at their November meeting, with a growing 21.2% chance they'll let it stand at 4.75%-5.00%, according to CME's FedWatch tool.
Speaking of data, the Labor Department's consumer price index (CPI) report is expected early Thursday, which should give markets some clarity regarding inflation's long and meandering path down to the Fed's 2% annual target.
Analysts expect headline CPI readings to cool slightly to 0.1% and 2.3% on monthly and annual bases, respectively.
Core CPI - which strips away volatile food and energy prices - is seen cooling by 10 basis points to 0.2% month-over-month, but staying firm at 3.2% year-over-year.
Beyond Thursday, the producer price index (PPI) is due on Friday, as are quarterly results from JPMorgan Chase JPM.N and Wells Fargo & Co WFC.N, marking the unofficial beginning of third quarter reporting season.
