Shares and bonds experienced an specially bullish response to new info out Thursday exhibiting that inflation proceeds to average following reaching a 40-calendar year significant around the summer.
The Dow (^DJI), Nasdaq (^IXIC), S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Russell 2000 (^RUT) each had their finest working day because the 2020 pandemic lows.
