Wall Street loses momentum due to inflation data in the US: Here's how the markets are performing today, February 13

Wall Street starts the session with negative movements as traders analyze the inflation report in the United States amid ongoing quarterly earnings season.

Wall Street's trading opened negatively, reflecting traders' concerns following the recent inflation report released in the United States. The Nasdaq index dropped by 0.28 percent, settling at 22,530.37 points, while the Dow Jones and S&P 500 also saw declines of 0.17 percent and 0.15 percent, respectively. These movements indicate a cautious market atmosphere as investors digest economic indicators.

Analysts suggest that today's session may experience more stability compared to previous days due to the inflation figures, which have eased panic and contributed to a more optimistic market sentiment. This shift is particularly relevant as the market anticipates a long weekend in the US, with the upcoming holiday on Monday. The inflation data, together with recent non-farm payroll figures indicating a slowdown in the labor market, point towards a potentially more accommodative Federal Reserve for the remainder of the year.

Investors are closely monitoring these economic indicators to understand the implications for monetary policy. As they analyze the broader economic landscape, there is hope that the Federal Reserve might adjust its stance to support growth as economic conditions evolve. With the quarter-end approaching, market participants are also looking at quarterly earnings reports which could further influence market trends in the coming weeks.
