TSX hits high, Wall Street sinks

In the U.S., June inflation numbers cooled, coming in -0.1% over the previous month as the street expected +0.1%. Year-over-year, inflation clocked in at 3.0% instead of 3.1%. The news fueled sentiment that the Fed will cut interest rates in September. However, instead of pushing stocks higher as dovish headlines did the last two days, the indices tumbled. None more so that then the tech-heavy Nasdaq which slid nearly 2%, led by heavyweight Nvidia which sank 5.57%. Closely following were Tesla down 8.44% and Lam Research skidding 5.98%. In contrast, homebuilder DR Horton rallied 7.26%. The U.S. 10-year yield continued to slip, now reaching 4.207%. Bitcoin retreated 0.7% to US$57,300.
