In response to the recent economic data, US futures have risen following a volatile selloff on Wall Street, as inflation figures showed improvement. The annual inflation rate eased to 2.8% in February, slightly lower than expected, bringing some relief to investors. However, concerns regarding tariffs and escalating trade tensions linger, raising the possibility of future price increases. Analysts note that while the CPI report indicates a temporary cooling in inflation, the impact of ongoing trade wars could potentially reverse these gains in the coming months. Stock markets have traded mixed, with investors cautiously optimistic about the inflation data, while still bracing for the possible effects of tariffs on consumer prices.
