Wall Street rallied Tuesday, surpassing pre-August 5 levels, driven by benign July Producer Price Index (PPI) data and strength in info tech stocks.
The S&P 500 rose 1.68%, the Nasdaq 2.43%, and volatility (VIX) dropped. While PPI suggests easing inflation, caution remains ahead of Wednesday's Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, with the Fed likely considering a rate cut.
The market remains sensitive to upcoming economic data and earnings reports, particularly Walmart's and Chinese companies later in the week.
