Mixed Signals On Valentine's Day: How Stocks Are Reacting To January Inflation Data

Zinger Key Points
  • The consumer price index increased 0.5% in January, with an annual gain of 6.4%.
  • Following the report, markets were unsettled, with the S&P 500 trading down.

Inflation cooled slightly in January, but saw increases in some areas due to the impact of surging food, energy and shelter prices on consumers, the U.S Labor Department said Tuesday

What Happened: The consumer price index increased 0.5% in January, with an annual gain of 6.4%.

Economists predicted respective increases of 0.5% and 6.2%.

The core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy, rose 0.4% monthly and 5.6% from a year ago.

Following the report, markets were unsettled, with the broad market, as tracked by the S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY down 0.55% midday Tuesday. 

Stocks React: These are the biggest mid and large cap movers, both gainers and losers, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
