Wall Street has its second set of inflation numbers to digest this week, and this time they have investors a little worried: ・New number: Wholesale inflation rose 0.9% in July, much higher than the 0.

Retail inflation held few surprises in July, with the overall number steady but core inflation, which the Fed watches, continuing a reacceleration that started in March.

Most stocks fell on Wall Street Thursday after a disappointing report said inflation was worse last month at the U.S. wholesale level than economists expected. But gains for Amazon and some other influential Big Tech companies helped mask the losses.
