💨 Abstract

stocks ended mixed on Tuesday as investors awaited U.S. consumer price data and the start of quarterly earnings reports. The U.S. producer price index rose less than expected in December, easing concerns about inflation. However, investors remain cautious, as the Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates unchanged until the second half of the year. fourth-quarter earnings are expected to be strong, driven by robust dealmaking and trading.
