Dow Jones Outperforms on Nike Surge Despite Hot PPI; Futures Point to Steady Friday Open

fr.investing.com (French) —

The Dow Jones rose 1.08% on Thursday to 52,177.69 points, outperforming the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, driven by consumer stocks like Nike despite a higher-than-expected US producer price index. Nike led the Dow with a 5.21% gain, followed by Salesforce and Home Depot, while Cisco, Nvidia, and Caterpillar declined. The PPI data raised inflation concerns ahead of the Federal Reserve's late-October meeting, but investors focused on repositioning opportunities. Friday's focus includes US import and export prices and industrial production data. Futures pointed to a stable open, suggesting a hesitant start for Wall Street.
