  • U.S. stock indexes are drifting in the runup to the highlight of the week for the market, the latest update on inflation. The S&P 500 was virtually unchanged Tuesday.

The article from AP News discusses the current state of the U.S. stock market, highlighting a mix of gains and losses among major indices. The S&P 500 saw a slight increase, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced a minor decline, and the Nasdaq composite also edged up. Key points include Nvidia's significant stock rise due to its involvement in AI technology, despite concerns about its high valuation. The market is also reacting to mixed economic signals, with some sectors like technology performing well, while others like energy and utilities lag. Additionally, there's mention of the Federal Reserve's potential actions on interest rates, with investors betting on a pause in rate hikes due to cooling inflation. The article also touches on international influences, such as economic recovery in China and its impact on global markets, and the ongoing debate about the U.S. economy's direction amidst these mixed signals.
