September consumer prices rose 3.7% from a year earlier, above the 3.6% economists expected. Core inflation, which strips out food and energy, also topped forecasts, coming in at 2.6% versus 2.5% expected. Treasury yields jumped, the dollar rose and gold fell. “Wednesday’s CPI was stronger-than-expected, and it’s clear as ever that inflation is stubborn and moving in the wrong direction,” commented **Skyler Weinand**, chief investment officer at Regan Capital. **Read Also: Inflation Comes in Hotter Than Expected at 3.7%, Keeping Fed Hike Bets Alive** These are the 10 biggest premarket decliners among U.S.-listed stocks with a market cap of at least $10 billion, according to Benzinga Pro data. ## **Gold Miners Dominate The List** Seven of the 10 stocks are miners, and six of them mainly produce gold or silver. Gold fell 1.1% to $4,116 an ounce. Silver dropped 2.0% to $57.96. The dollar index rose 0.4%, and the 2-year Treasury yield climbed 11 basis points to 4.91%. Gold pays no interest, so higher yields make it less attractive to hold. | Company | Premarket Change | Price | Sector | Industry | | ------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | ------- | ------------------- | ---------------------- | | **Rocket Companies Inc.** (NYSE:RKT) | -3.33% | $10.57 | Finance | Finance/Rental/Leasing | | **Harmony Gold Mining Co.

The mortgage lender is sensitive to long-term rates, which drive what borrowers pay for a home loan. The 10-year Treasury yield rose 7 basis points to 5.29%. The average 30-year mortgage rate was 7.5% last week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Redfin said Wednesday that home sellers now outnumber buyers by 63%, the widest gap in at least 13 years. Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan both cut their price targets on Rocket on Monday. ## **AI Cloud Provider Faces Higher Borrowing Costs**, **Retail And Copper** Sink CoreWeave fell 2.6%. The company builds AI data centers with borrowed money, so the cost of debt matters for the stock. Wayfair, which sells furniture and home goods, fell 2.3%. Hudbay, a copper and gold producer, fell 2.4%. Producer prices follow on Thursday, with economists expecting a 0.5% monthly increase.
