Market overview 2023-02-14

A quiet Tuesday trading session led key U.S. stock indexes to multidirectional closes. If high-tech NASDAQ showed a gain of about 0.5 percent, the broad market index S&P500 and blue chips Dow Jones 30 closed in a slight minus. Participants were confused by mixed data on consumer inflation, which was slightly above or within expectations, leading to an increase in negative expectations for the Fed's key rate.
