what happened
US equities pulled back on Tuesday, halting a two-day tech rally, after October consumer prices came in hotter than forecast, rising 0.4% from September, according to Reuters. The data revived concern that the Federal Reserve could keep borrowing costs elevated for an extended period.
The US 2-year Treasury yield climbed 21.4 basis points, its largest single-day jump since April of last year. Fed Governor Christopher Waller said rates should rise by at least a quarter point next month even if October inflation cooled, and that a half-point move could be considered if price pressures picked up. Lorie Logan argued that two additional quarter-point hikes might be necessary. CME FedWatch data showed markets nearly fully positioned for a December increase.
Nvidia shares fell 6.3% for a second straight session as investors fretted over CEO Jensen Huang's position after the company opened an internal review into spying allegations tied to Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang. The Information reported that her relationship helped route at least $7.5 billion of Nvidia chips through Chinese companies. Attention also turned to Anthropic's IPO, expected later this month, which could raise as much as $64.4 billion at a valuation of up to $1.4 trillion.
why it matters
For markets, firmer inflation paired with hawkish Fed signals raises expectations of tighter policy ahead, weighing most on high-valuation growth stocks and rate-sensitive groups such as utilities and real estate, which were among the day's laggards. A partial offset came from lower oil, with Brent futures sliding below $90 a barrel for the first time since August.
