Markets rallied on better-than-expected inflation news, despite the uncertainty spurred by more rounds of tit-for-tat tariffs.
Stocks rose on Wednesday after a tumultuous few days of trading, as investors were buoyed by lower-than-expected inflation data even as concerns about President Trump’s tariff policies still loom.
The S&P 500 index was about 0.5 percent higher at the start of trading, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite index rose roughly 1.3 percent.
The rise in stock prices reversed some of the losses from earlier in the week and came after another turbulent trading day on Wall Street, when the White House introduced and then rolled back some of its tariffs. The whipsaw on trade policy has added to investors’ confusion over the Trump administration’s economic plans, and the path ahead on interest rates set by the Federal Reserve.
Recent waves of selling had pushed the S&P 500 index down nearly 10 percent below its mid-February record. Falling more than 10 percent would signify a symbolic milestone known on Wall Street as a correction.
The Euro Stoxx 50 index, which comprises the eurozone’s largest listed companies, was up more than 1 percent on Wednesday. Shares in Britain, Germany and France all broadly gained.
In Asia, stock markets in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan nudged higher. Those indexes were seen as among the most exposed if President Trump broadened tariffs on longstanding trading partners. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index, a market that had been a bright spot in Asia, fell nearly 1 percent, a fourth straight day of decline.
