美股盘后综述：9月PPI超预期，戴尔遭巴克莱下调评级当日已跌6.8%

The stock market closed in the green on Thursday after investors assessed the producer price index inflation report, which came hotter than expected. The benchmark S&P 500 ( SP500 ) finished +0.3%, and the heavy-tech Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) ended +0.1%, while the blue-chip Dow ( DJI ) closed +1.1%. The U.S. PPI for final demand , seasonally adjusted, rose 1.3% M/M in September vs. +0.5% consensus and +0.5% recorded for the prior month (revised from +0.4%). Core PPI (which excludes food and energy) was up 0.7% M/M, vs. +0.3% consensus and +0.2% in August. Here are three things to look out for on Friday: Another batch of financial companies are set to report earnings on Friday before market hours, including HDFC Bank ( HDB ), Truist Financial ( TFC ), M&T Bank ( MTB ), Citizens Financial Group ( CFG ), and Regions Financial ( RF ). U.S. Treasuries dropped severely after a hot PPI print for September that represented the largest monthly advance since March 2022. The 10-year yield ( US10Y ) dropped around 10 basis points; the 2-year yield ( US2Y ) dropped about 5 basis points; and the 30-year yield ( US30Y ) was down 10 basis points. Investors will continue to monitor the bond market as yields decline despite higher inflation. Dell Technologies ( DELL ) was one of the top losers on Thursday, declining 6.8%, after Barclays downgraded the hardware and server manufacturer. This decline comes as the technology sector is being dragged by concerns regarding AI infrastructure spending costs.
