Apple Intelligence:

Investors are closely watching the December consumer-price index (CPI) report, expecting it to show a slight increase in annual inflation to 2.9%. A higher-than-expected CPI could lead to increased Treasury yields, potentially impacting stock valuations and causing a reevaluation of the Fed’s interest rate plans. While a lower CPI might provide temporary relief, market participants are more concerned about potential upward pressure on inflation.
