The March Consumer Price Index, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics released last week, revealed that core inflation hit 3.8% Year over Year in March, rising for the first time in 12 months. That’s moving in the wrong direction for the Fed, whose goal is to bring inflation down to 2%.

Here’s where the major benchmarks ended:

  • The S&P 500 index rose 43.37 points (0.9%) to 5,010.60; the Dow Jones Industrial Average® ($DJI) gained 253.58 points (0.7%) to 38,239.98; the NASDAQ Composite advanced 169.30 points (1.1%) to 15,451.31.
  • The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX) was little changed at 4.617%.
  • The CBOE Volatility Index® (VIX) fell 1.41 to 16.39.

Chipmaker strength lifted the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) up 1.7% Monday, partially reclaiming last week’s 9.2% tumble. Banking shares were also among the strongest sectors, while the Russell 2000® Index (RUT) advanced 1%. WTI crude futures earlier dropped to just a few cents above $82 per barrel, the lowest intraday price since late March.
