Macro news: The three major U.S. stock indexes closed higher, and CPI data significantly eased inflation concerns

Last Friday, the three major U.S. stock indexes closed higher, with the S&P 500 up 1.00% at 5,996.66 points, the Dow Jones up 0.78% at 43,487.83 points, and the Nasdaq up 1.51% at 19,630.20 points. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield was 4.61%, and the 2-year Treasury yield, which is most sensitive to the Fed’s policy rate, was 4.27%.

On the news front, Bank of America believes that the Fed is expected to end quantitative tightening in September this year. UBS’ latest forecast is that cooling inflation supports the US stock bull market, and the S&P 500 index may reach 6,600 points. UBS said that both Tuesday’s PPI data and Wednesday’s CPI data eased investors’ concerns about inflation and pushed stocks higher after a difficult start in 2025.

UBS said this week’s “soft inflation data is a reassuring signal for markets, especially after the recent period of elevated bond yields and a pullback in equities.” The bank believes a solid U.S. economy, healthy corporate earnings growth and further developments in artificial intelligence should support a stock market rebound. In fact, the investment bank predicts the S&P 500 will reach 6,600 in December.
