SPY is trading at $778.54 (+0.78%) after July PPI was unchanged, below the expected 0.2% increase, while core PPI rose 0.2% versus a 0.3% forecast.

  • The S&P 500 is rising alongside the broader market.
  • Following July CPI at 3.4%, the softer wholesale-inflation report reduced expectations for near-term Fed tightening and supported growth stocks.
  • Lower Treasury yields and strong AI-related technology sentiment are providing additional support.
