Warby Parker and Bath and Body Works Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know
A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after a softer-than-expected inflation report fueled hopes for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. The January Consumer Price Index (CPI), a key measure of inflation, rose by 0.2%, which was less than economists had forecast, with the annual rate cooling to 2.4%. This encouraging data increased market expectations for the Fed to begin cutting interest rates as early as June. The news prompted a rally in Treasuries as their yields fell.
