In regular trading on Tuesday, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite surged 1.91% and 2.37%, respectively, for their best one-day performance since April. The Dow also jumped 1.43%. Those moves came as US inflation data came in lower-than-expected, bolstering the view that the Federal Reserve is done raising interest rates and putting downward pressure on Treasury yields. The annual inflation rate in the US slowed to 3.2% from 3.7% in September, slightly below forecasts of 3.3% while the core rate eased to 4%, the lowest in two years.
