U.S. stocks climbed post lower than expected PPI raise

An escalation in the U.S stocks came post the PPI data for October that gave an indication that the inflation is soothing.

Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.8%, while S&P 500 rose 1.5% and NASDAQ Composite rose 2.4%.

The PPI raised below the expectations in October at 8% which is below the forecasted 8.3% and also lower than last month figures.

The PPI report bolstered hopes for a less aggressive rate hike from Fed’s side for the coming month. Which has been proposed already yesterday by Fed Vice Chair Lael Brainard.

Predictions in the market are hovering around 91% probability that Fed will raise the rate by half percentage point at December meeting. As per Reuters that would come following four raises in a row of the 0.75% points.

Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT), the major U.S. retailer climbed 7.4%.

Home Depot Inc (NYSE:HD) shares went beyond the expectations by jumping 0.7% .
