In a turbulent market session, the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq indexes all ended lower following a significant drop in technology stocks, particularly in companies like Dell and Nvidia. This downturn comes after inflation data revealed persistent price pressures, which have raised concerns about future Federal Reserve rate hikes. Despite an overall winning streak for the month, traders expressed caution as they navigated inflation worries and mixed economic reports. Market sentiment remains uncertain as investors weigh the implications of sticky inflation on monetary policy, leading to a pullback from recent all-time highs.
