Utilities stocks head into CPI week on a Meta nuclear deal — what to watch Monday
Utilities stocks outperformed Friday, led by gains in nuclear-linked shares after Meta signed 20-year power deals with Vistra and small-reactor firms. Vistra surged 10.5%, Constellation 6.1%. Investors are watching Tuesday’s U.S. inflation data, which could move Treasury yields and rate-sensitive utilities. Meta’s deals target power for its Ohio AI data center, raising concerns about grid strain.
