The Dow Jones Industrial Average was trading lower in the ongoing U.S. session on Tuesday, November 10. At 12:01 p.m. Eastern time, the index stood at 52,041.91, down 345.77 points, or 0.66%, from Monday's close of 52,389.75. The intraday level and change were reported by IndMoney.
Inflation data resets rate expectations
Market sentiment weakened after the October Consumer Price Index rose 0.4% from the previous month, above the 0.3% increase expected by economists surveyed by Dow Jones. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, increased 0.3%, compared with expectations for a 0.2% rise. The figures strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates at its December meeting.
CNBC reported that traders viewed a December rate increase as highly likely. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller also indicated that a half-percentage-point move could warrant consideration if inflation remained unexpectedly high. The 10-year Treasury yield moved back above 5%, adding to pressure on rate-sensitive assets.
Technology shares remain a drag
The Dow's decline was more moderate than the Nasdaq's as technology shares remained under strain. CNBC reported that Nvidia was down about 6% during the session after falling more than 4% on Monday, when the company was affected by continuing scrutiny surrounding Chief Executive Jensen Huang. The divergence highlights the uneven market response: economically sensitive and blue-chip shares held up better than some of the higher-growth technology names.
Monday's rally provides the comparison
The latest decline followed a broad advance on Monday. According to the Associated Press via Yahoo Finance, the Dow gained 1,104.02 points, or 2.15%, to finish at 52,389.75 on November 9. Tuesday's retreat therefore represented a partial giveback rather than a full reversal of the prior session's advance.
Further market direction will depend on how investors adjust interest-rate expectations after the inflation data and on whether weakness in technology shares spreads more broadly. For additional Dow Jones coverage, visit the Dow Jones topic page.
