U.S. stocks rose ahead of some key January inflation data this week, which will begin with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. The economic calendar was dormant today, while Q4 earnings season continued down the back stretch, as Check Point Software Technologies topped estimates and announced an increase to its share buyback plan, while Fidelity National Information Services offered disappointing guidance.
Treasury yields were mixed, and the U.S. dollar was lower, while crude oil prices gained ground, and gold traded to the downside.
Asian stocks finished mostly lower ahead of the U.S. inflation data and as tensions between the U.S. and China remained, though markets in Europe rebounded from last week’s decline.
