The US markets ended mostly in green on Tuesday, as sentiments remained upbeat after slightly tamer-than-expected inflation data eased concerns about President Donald Trump's new tariffs on US trade partners leading to higher prices. The report released by the Labor Department showed consumer prices in the US rose by slightly less than expected in the month of April. The Labor Department said its consumer price index inched up by 0.2 percent in April after edging down by 0.1 percent in March, while the street had expected consumer prices to rise by 0.3 percent. Further, the report also said the annual rate of growth by consumer prices slowed to 2.3 percent in April from 2.4 percent in March, while the annual rate of growth by core consumer prices was unchanged at 2.8 percent. Besides, US-China trade deal slashing steep tariffs on each other's goods also contributed to the extended rally on Wall Street.
On sectoral front, Computer hardware and semiconductor extended the surge seen during Monday's session, contributing to the strong upward move by the tech-heavy Nasdaq. Besides, significant strength has been seen in airline stocks, as reflected by the 2.9 percent jump by the NYSE Arca Airline Index. Oil producer, networking and brokerage stocks also saw notable strength, while healthcare, biotechnology and pharmaceutical stocks showed significant moves to the downside.
Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 269.67 points or 0.64 percent to 42,140.43, while Nasdaq soared 301.74 points or 1.61 percent to 19,010.08 and S&P 500 spiked 42.36 points or 0.72 percent to 5,886.55.
