The SPY hardly moved

The SPY hardly moved from US PPI data and it was really good (lower inflation) and this is why:

What’s the data saying?

1.US PPI YoY (Year-over-Year):

Actual: 2.7%

Expected: 3.3%

Previous: 3.2%

✅ Came in lower than expected!

2.US PPI MoM (Month-over-Month):

Actual: -0.4%

Expected: 0.2%

Previous: 0.0%

✅ Negative – prices dropped this month!

3.US Core PPI YoY (excludes food & energy):

Actual: 3.3%

Expected: 3.6%

Previous: 3.4%

✅ Softer than expected!

4.US Core PPI MoM:

Actual: -0.1%

Expected: 0.3%

Previous: -0.1%

✅ Still negative – very soft inflation pressure

What does this mean? (Simple Terms)

PPI = inflation for businesses.

If it’s going up, costs go up, which may lead to price hikes for consumers.

This report shows inflation is cooling off – businesses are paying less or not seeing much cost increases.

How does this impact the stock market?

✅ Good for stocks.

Lower inflation ➡️ Less pressure on the Fed to raise interest rates

Might even mean rate cuts come sooner

Yields could fall, helping:

Tech stocks

Growth stocks

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $Apple(AAPL)$ $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ $Alphabet(GOOG)$ $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ in general

In one line:

“Inflation came in cooler than expected — the Fed can relax a bit, and the market loves that.”
