- Dow rose 500 points to snap a 4-day slide as oil prices cooled and traders looked past the latest inflation report, per the CNBC headline.
- S&P 500 also ended higher, with Reuters framing the inflation data as cementing rate-hike bets while ABC reported the update came in near expectations — same print, opposite tonal reads across outlets.
Why it matters: The Dow's 500-point gain ended a 4-day losing streak, with cooling oil easing one market pressure point and inflation landing near expectations — yet Reuters read that same print as cementing rate-hike bets, leaving the rate outlook as the unresolved variable for equities going into the next session.
