Dow Surges 1150 Points as Caterpillar and Cisco Gain; Inflation Stays Hot
MarketWatch reports the Dow jumped 1150 points with Caterpillar and Cisco contributing, while U.S. inflation remains elevated and a Fed rate hike stays on track.
What happened
MarketWatch reports that the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged by 1150 points, with share gains at Caterpillar and Cisco among the contributors to the move.
In a separate piece, MarketWatch says U.S. inflation has not cooled off. The outlet writes that rising consumer prices are keeping a Federal Reserve rate hike on track.
Context
The Federal Reserve sets U.S. interest rate policy and closely watches consumer price trends when deciding on changes to rates.
Why it matters
The pairing of a large move in the Dow with persistent inflation and a possible Fed rate hike shows how closely equity markets track the outlook for interest rates.
