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.
