Wednesday saw the second-straight day of tame inflation data coming out of the U.S., this time being producers’ inflation, which prolonged Tuesday’s strong rally. Gains were less pronounced, but still convincing as the S&P advanced 0.26% to surpass 4,500, the Nasdaq 0.16%, and the Dow added 0.58% to top 35,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
