Nasdaq Drops After Hours as AI Stocks and Chip Names Fall

CPI Data Could Make or Break Wall Street’s Next Rally

Traders are watching if Tuesday’s June CPI print lets the Fed hold rates steady, but a soft headline probably won’t be enough. Barclays sees headline CPI dropping to 3.8% from 4.2% on lower gas prices, but expects core CPI—excluding food and energy—to rise another 0.26% month over month. Economist Pooja Sriram said core services inflation is in the driver’s seat. That annualizes to roughly 3.2%, still above the Fed’s 2% target. So, cheaper gas alone won’t settle the rate debate.

The FTSE 100, which tracks Britain’s biggest listed firms, was up 1.6% at 10,412.54. The FTSE 250 index of medium-sized companies rose 1.9%, and both were on course for their biggest one-day rise in nearly a year.

Barclays PLC is on the hook for about 500 million pounds from companies linked to Market Financial Solutions, according to a Bloomberg News report. That figure, one of the largest claims in the UK lender’s collapse, comes in below the roughly 600 million pounds a judge had cited earlier.
