Today At A Glance:
Markets pulled back modestly on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, after a four-day rally, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq ending lower and the Dow remaining virtually flat. A cooler-than-expected May inflation report weighed on sentiment, dampening momentum despite positive trade-talk headlines. Treasury yields declined, reinforcing expectations that the Fed might cut rates later this year. Geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East briefly spooked investors, offsetting some optimism from U.S.–China negotiations. Overall, market action was subdued and cautious.
