The Consumer Price Index revealed a significant rise in food prices, particularly eggs, adding to inflation concerns. Energy stocks slipped amid an inventory build, while CVS Health soared after its fourth-quarter profit signalled improvement. Gilead Sciences also gained on strong earnings, but Kraft Heinz fell short of expectations. Meanwhile, DoorDash shares jumped on an upbeat outlook, and iron ore prices rebounded due to supply concerns in Australia. Looking ahead, Domain Group is set to report earnings today, while Aussie shares are expected to open higher ahead of Treasury Wine Estates' results.
