On Wednesday, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite closed at all-time highs, thanks to a massive rally in Oracle (ORCL) shares and cooler-than-expected producer price inflation data. The S&P 500 gained 0.3%. The Nasdaq Composite also finished slightly higher, but the Dow Jones lost 0.5%.
Looking ahead, investors await the release of the August consumer price index (CPI) report, due Thursday morning. Economists expect the CPI to rise 0.3% for the month, leading to a 2.9% annual gain. Traders will also be watching for new data on jobless claims and the federal budget, along with earnings reports from Kroger (KR) and Adobe (ADBE).
