$Dow Jones Industrial Average(.DJI.US)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF(SPY.US)$ Wholesale used-car prices in Mannheim, the largest used-car market in the United States, rose 3.1% in the first half of December from a year earlier, down slightly from November, $Nomura Holdings(NMR.US)$ reported. Unseasonally adjusted growth was 0.7%, the same as in October and November, with most of the increase due to seasonal factors. Nomura thinks higher used-car prices will push up inflation further, and the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates at a faster pace, possibly as early as March.
