- The Dow surged 500 points as traders shook off firm inflation data and retreating oil prices, according to CNBC's live updates
- Tech stocks rallied alongside falling oil prices and a sticky inflation backdrop, per Yahoo Finance's AlphaCheck segment
- The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both rose on the session, bucking the pressure from sticky CPI data
- Fed rate-hike bets jumped after the inflation reading, diverging from the market's positive price action
Why it matters: The split-screen is the story: the market rallied 500 Dow points on the day, but rate-hike odds climbed at the same time — meaning traders are pricing more Fed tightening even as they buy equities. For rate-sensitive sectors (housing, utilities, high-multiple tech), that combination caps the relief rally and keeps the Fed's next move as the dominant variable.
