Market Storylines: Core PPI Rises Above Expectations + President Trump to Meet with Putin

Michael Reinking, Senior Market Strategist for the NYSE, details the latest trends and developments in global markets. He discusses markets rebounding ahead of key inflation data and a 90-day U.S.-China tariff extension, with Nvidia and AMD agreeing to unprecedented export fees. He details how a mixed CPI report lifted equities before hotter PPI data—driven by services inflation—halted the rally. He notes that mega-cap tech strength is masking broader market weakness, while a September Fed rate cut still appears likely. He points to Powell’s upcoming Jackson Hole speech, retail earnings, and geopolitical events as the next key catalysts.
