Today is March 15th. Last night, the US producer price index (PPI) data for February showed that inflation was heating up more than expected, causing the market to worry about continued inflationary pressure. PPI rose 1.6% year on year, the highest level since September last year. It increased 0.6% month-on-month, double market expectations, and the growth rate of core PPI (excluding food and energy prices) also accelerated month-on-month.

The S&P 500 index and the Nasdaq index fell for the second day in a row, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average stopped three consecutive days.

Nvidia fell nearly 5% during the intraday period and eventually closed down by more than 3%, while AMD dropped nearly 4% for two consecutive days. After the earnings report, Adobe declined by more than 10% in after-hours trading.
After the US inflation data was released, the price of US Treasury bonds accelerated, and the yield on ten-year US bonds rose by more than 10 basis points in the intraday period, reaching a two-week high.

Auto and parts dealers contributed the most to the month-on-month increase in retail sales, but the analysis showed that “actual” retail sales actually declined sharply after excluding the impact of inflation.
The crude oil market showed strong performance. Brent crude oil hit a four-month high, and U.S. crude oil closed for the first time in four months...
