The dominant market narrative was a surprisingly soft <strong>Consumer Price Index (CPI)<\/strong> print, which suggested that inflation is cooling rapidly. This sparked a broad-based rally as market participants anticipated a more accommodative stance from the Federal Reserve, effectively lowering the discount rate for future corporate earnings and boosting investor sentiment across the board.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of this positive economic data, <strong>3M (<a href=\"\/stock\/MMM\">MMM<\/a>)<\/strong> became the top performer, jumping <strong>3.70%<\/strong> to <strong>$148.62<\/strong>. The semiconductor sector also thrived, with <strong>Nvidia (<a href=\"\/stock\/NVDA\">NVDA<\/a>)<\/strong> gaining <strong>1.77%<\/strong> to <strong>$225.01<\/strong>.
