U.S. stocks finished higher on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite scoring their fifth consecutive trading day of gains after a mild July consumer-price index reinforced expectations for a September rate cut by the Federal Reserve.
Based on preliminary data, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up by 242.75 points, 0.6%, at 40,008.39. It was the index's second straight session of gains.
The S&P 500 closed up by 20.78 points, or 0.4%, at 5,455.21.
The Nasdaq Composite eked out a slight gain in the final minutes of trading to finish higher by 4.99 points at 17,192.60.
"July’s inflation data was remarkably as expected," said BMO Capital Markets rates strategists Ian Lyngen and Vail Hartman. "Had the Fed not already set the stage for a cut in September, this CPI print would have solidified one."
Inflation has cooled considerably over the past year, but there are still a few hot spots. The biggest is the cost of shelter - rent and housing. It accounted for about 90% of the increase in the consumer price index in July.
Still, the report is unlikely to prevent the Federal Reserve from reducing interest rates in September as widely expected.
The big question for investors is whether it will be a 1/4-point cut or a larger 1/2-point reduction. The July CPI probably doesn't settle the question.
For now, betting markets suggest a smaller cut is more likely.
