Dow Ends Lower, Markets Brace for S&P Gains Amidst Cooling Inflation

The Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced a decline on Tuesday after Monday’s strong rally driven by encouraging trade talks between the US and China. Despite this dip, other indices saw gains as the consumer price index (CPI) showed a slowdown in annual growth to its lowest level since 2021. Analyst Chris Zaccarelli of Northlight Asset Management believes these favorable economic signals will continue to boost market confidence.
