💨 Abstract

On May 13, 2025, U.S. stocks generally rose after a report indicated inflation had slowed unexpectedly last month. The S&P 500 increased by 0.7%, erasing its year-to-date losses, while the Nasdaq composite surged by 1.6%, led by tech stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, however, fell by 0.6%. Economists caution that inflation might rise again due to ongoing tariffs.
