Wall Street traders sent stocks lower as inflation data failed to alter bets on a pause in Federal Reserve rate cuts while JPMorgan Chase & Co. led a slide in banks after its results. Bonds wavered. The dollar rose.

Signs that price pressures are gradually abating gave a degree of comfort to investors in the immediate aftermath of the data, but the moves across asset classes waned as the session progressed. The S&P 500 fell from a record. JPMorgan sank 4.2% as investment-banking fees missed the guidance, with revenue from both underwriting and advising on mergers dropping.
Not even a slower-than-expected increase in the core consumer price index was able to sustain the advance in Treasuries that followed the data. After Fed Chair Jerome Powell and his colleagues deployed three rate cuts since September, money markets continued to project the next reduction only in mid-2026.
