US Stocks Higher; Producer Prices Fall In December
Portfolio Pulse from Avi Kapoor
U.S. stocks traded higher following the release of Producer Price Index (PPI) data showing a 0.1% decline in December, aligning with the previous month and defying market expectations of a 0.1% increase. Energy shares led gains with a 1.4% jump, while consumer discretionary shares saw a marginal rise. Charge Enterprises (CRGE), Spectral AI (MDAI), and Volcon (VLCN) experienced significant stock price increases. Conversely, Genius Group (GNS), VCI Global (VCIG), and SEALSQ Corp (LAES) saw their shares fall sharply after announcing public offerings and closing of private placements. Commodities like oil and gold traded higher, and European and Asian markets showed mixed results.
