02 / WHY SPY MOVED

What Drove the Market Today

U.S. equities advanced as softer wholesale-inflation data reduced near-term concern about additional Federal Reserve tightening. Treasury yields eased, while strength in large-cap technology and semiconductor shares helped support the S&P 500. Lower oil prices also reduced some inflation pressure during the session.

Softer producer-price data reduced near-term rate-hike concerns.

Large-cap technology and semiconductor strength helped lead the advance.

Easing Treasury yields and lower oil prices improved the broader risk backdrop.
