tocks mounted their biggest rally since 2020 after October’s reading of consumer prices raised investor hopes that inflation has peaked.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 1,201.43 points, or 3.7%, to 33,715.37 for its biggest one-day gain since stocks were emerging from the depths of the pandemic bear market. The S&P 500 jumped 5.54% to 3,956.37 in its biggest rally since April 2020. The Nasdaq Composite surged 7.35%, its best since March 2020, closing at 11,114.15.

October’s consumer price index rose just 0.4% for the month and 7.7% from a year ago, its lowest annual increase since January and a slowdown from the 8.2% annual pace in the prior month. Economists were expecting increases of 0.6% and 7.9%, according to Dow Jones. Excluding volatile food and energy costs, so-called core CPI increased 0.3% for the month and 6.3% on an annual basis, also less than expected.
 
After Christmas two things will happen prices will go up and jobs will be lost... the media is acting for the first time ever like Christmas has nothing to do with the economy and jobs....

Hey Dumbo.
Nothing to do with a minor downtick in inflation.
The market jumped because Big Gov't gridlock favors them!!
It gives the market more certainty than uncertainty. The market always falls on uncertainty.
But what do you know besides next to nuthin'??

Debbie Downer part 2.

Jeez, are you RWI's always miserable?
Appears so.

Except that it was pretty much known yesterday that there would be gridlock and stocks went down.

They were up today based on the lower than expected inflation numbers, bringing hope the Fed will slow down the rate hikes.

Wishful thinking on your part, you want Americans to suffer, it is all you seem to care about

I mean if you didn't think the markets were full of shit before, there's your proof. There's still way too much money chasing way too few goods and no, the crypto crash didn't clean out the bowels of the system. Only a recession can do that. Until then, we're going to have staggeringly high inflation. That's not really a political commentary, either. It's a commentary about how deluded we are.

Apparently the Stock Market is pleased with the outcome of Tuesday Election. The red wave became a wet spot.

It jumped because the Dims have lost control of Congress.
