U.S. stocks, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite, recorded a slight increase of 0.1% as the market opened on Thursday, according to FactSet data. This marginal rise coincided with the release of the Bureau of Labor Statistics data revealing that headline inflation caused a 0.4% rise in consumer prices for September. This slight uptick surpassed the Wall Street Journal economists' predictions of a 0.3% increase.
Core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, remained in line with the forecasted 0.3%. Over the course of 12 months ending in September, the annual rate of headline inflation remained consistent at 3.7%, while core CPI fell slightly to 4.1% from 4.3% in August.
In tandem with these developments, Treasury yields saw an increase. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose three basis points to 4.60%, while two-year yields increased approximately five basis points to around 5.05%.
