The US stock market rose, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite Index both up more than 400 points. The US July Producer Price Index (PPI) for final demand rose by 0.1%, up 2.2% year-on-year, lower than market expectations. This data strengthens the market's expectation of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September.
