US Stocks Rally on Softer Inflation

2026-07-14 20:13 By Isabela Couto 1 min. read

US stock indices closed higher on Tuesday after softer inflation data all but ruled out a Fed rate hike this month.

The S&P 500 gained 0.4%, the Nasdaq rose 1.1%, and the Dow Jones inched up.

Both headline and core inflation eased, offsetting the impact of another rally in energy prices as the US and Iran continued exchanging strikes.

Chipmakers rebounded from Monday's selloff, with Nvidia up 4.1%, Broadcom adding 1.3%, and Micron advancing 4.9%.

Most major banks also recovered from early losses.

JPMorgan added 2.5% after posting its strongest quarterly profit on record, while Bank of America advanced 1.8% and Citi lost 5.3% after releasing their results.

Among capital markets firms, Goldman Sachs surged 9% after beating earnings estimates.

On the downside, IBM tumbled 25.2% after missing expectations and warning of weaker client spending, as companies prioritized investments in chips and memory this quarter.

On top of that, financial companies rebounded from early losses.
