Markets pushed higher to start out the week, with each of the major U.S. equity indexes posting a gain. The Nasdaq led the charge higher, up around 1%, while the Dow Jones industrials and S&P 500 lagged, each up roughly 0.6%. This comes as the most recent round of inflation data is on the horizon.
Be on the lookout, as a couple of big inflation reports are coming out this week. The consumer price index (CPI) and producer price index (PPI) for July are due on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
According to Bloomberg, the CPI inflation print is expected to come in at 8.7%, which is a slight moderation from June’s 9.1% reading. The move lower is expected due to lower gasoline prices, among other factors.
