Global Markets: Asian stocks rose on Thursday after U.S. inflation data came in as expected, dampening expectations of
further near-term Federal Reserve rate hikes. U.S. consumer prices increased 0.1% in July, in line with widely reported
expectations, data showed on Wednesday. The small increase could weaken the argument for an interest rate increase
??from the Fed next month. Money markets are predicting a 40% chance of a rate hike, down from 54% a week ago, according
to CME Group's FedWatch. Meanwhile, oil held near $88 a barrel as Washington and Tehran remained deadlocked over
efforts to end the Gulf war. Wall Street ended mixed overnight, with the Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500 eking out
small gains while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped. Upbeat quarterly results from CoreWeave and other AI
infrastructure firms coupled with mild inflation data provided support to the investor sentiment. The S&P 500
climbed 0.26% to end the session at 7,748.50 points. The Nasdaq gained 0.54% to 26,588.49 points for the session, while
the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.04% ??to 53,770.27 points. CoreWeave surged 19% after the AI cloud company
lifted its annual capital spending forecast and topped second-quarter earnings estimates. Data center operators also
rose, with IREN gaining almost 10% and Applied Digital up 4.9%. Data center company Nebius Group jumped 34%, helped by
second-quarter results that beat expectations. Super Micro Computer surged 19% after the AI server maker forecast fiscal
2027 revenue above Wall Street expectations. Chipmakers also gained, with Nvidia rising 3% and Micron Technology adding
4.9%.Powered by Capital Market - Live NewsDisclaimer: No Business Standard Journalist was involved in creation of this
