On Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by more than 100 points, ending a 3-day winning streak, as hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation data for February drove Treasury yields higher and put pressure on Nvidia shares. The Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 also experienced slight declines. The producer price index (PPI) rose by 0.6%, with core PPI increasing by 0.3%, surpassing economists' expectations. This inflation report, which is the last significant economic data before the Federal Reserve's policy meeting on March 19-20, raised concerns about potential rate cuts by the Fed and the future direction of the stock market. 

Despite the overall market downturn, major technology stocks like Apple and Microsoft saw gains, while Robinhood's shares rose by 5% following a report of increased assets under custody. In contrast, electric vehicle startup Fisker's shares plummeted by nearly 52% amid reports of potential bankruptcy preparations.
