U.S. INDEXES STRUGGLE TO GAIN TRACTION IN EARLY TRADE
Wall Street's main indexes are mixed in choppy trading early on Wednesday after data showed inflation was moderating as expected, cementing wagers that the U.S. Federal Reserve was on track to start its policy easing cycle next month.
In a note, Ryan Sweet, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics, said the headline and core CPI increased in line with his forecasts, but he says the details were "a little disappointing as shelter inflation perked up, remaining a thorn in the Federal Reserve’s side."
According to Sweet, the acceleration in shelter month-over-month was broad-based, including for tenant rents, owners’ equivalent rent, and lodging away from home.
He adds that rents tend to be sticky, but with the disinflation elsewhere, "the Fed has the greenlight to cut interest rates by 25bps at its September meeting."
The U.S. 10-year yield US10YT=RR is now around 3.81% from a 3.85% finish on Tuesday. It's also on track to fall for a fourth day in a row.
A majority of S&P 500 sectors are higher with financials .SPSY posting the biggest rise, up ~0.6%. Big banks .SPXBK are in positive territory, though regional banks .KRX are down.
Communication services .SPLRCL, off more than 1%, is taking the biggest hit among S&P 500 groups. This will Alphabet GOOGL.O trading off more than 3% after a report that says the U.S. is considering breaking up Google over antitrust violations.
Under the surface, chips .SOX and gold stocks .HUI are also among weaker groups.
