Markets hover near highs as CPI data and earnings loom
U.S. stocks finished the day higher with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq at intraday and closing highs and the Dow up ~0.2%, while futures sat near flat ahead of April’s CPI release. Oil rose after Trump called the Iran ceasefire weak, and traders looked ahead to earnings from Under Armour, Vodafone, On Holding, Aramark, eToro and Tencent Music. Six of 11 GICS sectors gained led by energy, with communication services the day’s laggard. In after-hours trading, Hims & Hers, GitLab and Cleanspark moved on earnings guidance and restructuring news, as markets prepare for CPI figures, wages data, and treasury budget figures.
