The primary narrative driving the market is the anticipation of upcoming <strong>Consumer Price Index (CPI)<\/strong> data, which has led to a defensive rotation out of high-valuation tech and retail names into industrial and healthcare staples. While broader sentiment remains cautious, specific corporate developments provided a cushion for the blue-chip index against steeper declines.<\/p>\n<p>Leading the gainers today is <strong>3M (<a href=\"\/stock\/MMM\">MMM<\/a>)<\/strong>, which was up <strong>3.70%<\/strong> following a positive analyst upgrade regarding its streamlined manufacturing operations.

Additionally, <strong>Salesforce (<a href=\"\/stock\/CRM\">CRM<\/a>)<\/strong> was down <strong>1.64%<\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/stock\/MSFT\"
