Following a lower-than-predicted CPI inflation report, the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq experienced significant jumps. This led to the Dow closing above 47,000 points for the first time ever, demonstrating a marked shift in investor behaviour. Despite a slump in Tesla's stock following their earnings report, Quantum stocks rallied. Moreover, oil futures surged as investors kept a close eye on China trade news and earnings results. Interestingly, DOW stocks also made a substantial gain even though a smaller-than-expected Q3 loss was reported. This situation can be justified by investors' optimistic sentiment over the reduced inflation rate and the Federal Reserve's possible rate cut, which are believed to buoy the equity market. Furthermore, the progress of trade talks between President Trump and China's Xi posed as a significant news item to investors, as it was anticipated to affect future market developments. Unfortunately, DOW's stock price target was lowered to $25 due to weak global demand, but was later raised to $27 by RBC Capital.
