Market May 14 2025

 

The modest uptick in futures follows a strong performance in the previous session, where the S&P 500 rose 0.7%, nudging the benchmark index into positive territory for 2025. This rally was driven by encouraging inflation data and a de-escalation in the U.S.-China trade spat. The Consumer Price Index rose at an annual rate of 2.3% in April, marking the lowest level of 12-month inflation since early 2021
