AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Hotter-than-expected inflation data pushed investors into Treasuries, pulling yields lower while tech shares retreat amid concerns about AI spending and higher rates. The decline in yields and anticipated year-end rate hike priced into Fed futures suggests ongoing volatility for the S&P 500, with higher-rate assumptions potentially compressing multiples for growth names.

  • Wholesale prices rose 6.3% y/y in September.
  • CPI up 0.6% m/m and 3.7% y/y, above expectations.
  • Yields fell: 10-year 5.056%, 30-year 5.385%, 2-year 4.745%.
  • Investors rotated into bonds amid inflation fears and AI spending concerns.
  • Fed funds futures imply at least one 25bp hike by year-end.
