US stocks closed higher on Friday, and Nasdaq rose 365,438+0.7% in the first half of the year, the biggest increase in the same period in 40 years. The Dow Jones index rose more than 1200 points, the Standard & Poor's 500 index rose more than 5.54%, and the Nasdaq index rose more than 7%. This is because the data shows that inflation in the United States may peak.

Specifically, the data released by the US Department of Labor shows that the consumer price index (CPI) in the United States increased by 6.2% in June, 438+ 10, which was lower than the expected 6.5% and the previous 6.7%. The core CPI increased by 4.6% year-on-year, lower than the expected 4.8% and the previous value of 5.2%. These data show that inflationary pressure in the United States is easing, which may be one of the reasons for the surge in US stocks.
