Markets
Stocks rose and bond yields fell after the latest US inflation reading fueled speculation that the Federal Reserve would be able to implement its widely anticipated interest-rate cut in September.
Investors are focusing on Wednesday’s US consumer price index, which might help assess whether the Fed has enough flexibility to provide a soft landing for the economy. The recent surge in crude oil prices has also focused attention on producer-price data, which will be released later Tuesday as an indicator of pipeline inflationary threats.
