Wall Street slips about 0.6% after U.S. wholesale inflation surprise, Brent tops $100 a barrel
AI Market Summary
Hotter-than-expected US wholesale inflation pushed yields higher and pressured global risk assets, reinforcing concerns that restrictive rates may persist. Brent’s move above $100 amid Strait of Hormuz tensions adds an additional inflation impulse, complicating central bank reaction functions even as the ECB delivered a widely expected 25 bp hike. With 10Y US and UK yields near multi-decade highs, cross-asset volatility and tighter financial conditions remain the key near-term transmission channel.
