Wall Street Falters Despite Drops In Fed's Favorite Inflation Rate; Energy Stocks, Yields Rise On Trump's Debate Performance: What's Driving Markets Friday?
Wall Street experienced a lackluster session during midday trading in New York, with major indices inching slightly lower despite the arrival of positive inflation data.
儘管通脹數據出現積極變化，但紐約股市在午間交易中呈現平淡表現，主要指數略有下滑。
In May 2024, the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index, the Federal Reserve's key measure of inflation, fell to its lowest level since March 2021, recording an annual rate of 2.6%, which aligned with economists' predictions.
2024年5月，作爲聯儲局通脹的關鍵指標的個人消費支出價格指數（PCE）下降到了自2021年3月以來的最低水平，年率爲2.6％，符合經濟學家的預測。
This inflation report further indicates that price pressures are moving towards the Fed's 2% target, reinforcing market expectations for potential interest rate cuts.
最新的通脹報告進一步表明價格壓力正在向聯儲局的2％目標靠近，增強了市場對潛在降息的預期。
However, there is more caution in the market reactions this time, potentially because investors are evaluating the political and economic implications stemming from the first presidential debate held Thursday night between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, with most political analysts indicating a landmark win for the latter.
然而，市場反應這一次更加謹慎，可能是因爲投資者正在評估週四晚間舉行的總統候選人辯論所帶來的政治和經濟影響，而大多數政治分析師都認爲前總統唐納德·特朗普贏得了歷史性勝利。
Energy stocks were the top performers among S&P 500 sectors on Friday, despite no concurrent gains in oil and gas prices, likely welcoming rising chances of Trump's return to the White House.

Treasury yields rose across the curve, with the bond market beginning to price in a new increase in expansionary fiscal policies from the potential next president. The iShares Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:TLT) fell by 1.3%.
國債etf（NASDAQ：TLT）下跌了1.3％，收益率於各種期限的債券市場上升，債券市場開始預測美國潛在下一任總統實行擴張性財政政策將導致新的加息。
