The sharp rise in prices may cement a Federal Reserve hike next month. Monday had closed with the Dow logging its third 1,000-point swing in four days amid ongoing volatility, after Nvidia’s shares tumbled on a CEO-spy scandal. The 10-year yield ended Tuesday at 4.98%, up 10 basis points on the day, per the U.S. Treasury. Attention now turns to Friday’s PPI wholesale inflation report.
