Most U.S. stocks fell after an update on inflation hurt Wall
Street’s hopes for lower interest rates.
The S&P 500 fell 0.4% Tuesday, and the Dow Jones Industrial
Average lost 1%.
Stocks felt pressure from a report showing inflation in the
United States accelerated to 2.7% last month from 2.4% in May.
That could help keep the Federal Reserve from cutting interest
rates.
Tech stocks were more resilient, thanks to a strong gain for
Nvidia. It and other tech stocks helped drive the Nasdaq
composite 0.2% higher to another record.
