E-Mini Dow
The Dow Jones Industrial Average also pinballed sharply, careening between a rise of 287 points and a drop of 423. It ended with a loss of 82 points, or 0.2%.
The inflation report, which showed overall prices rose less for U.S. consumers last month than economists expected, helped companies in the artificial-intelligence industry lead the way. It's a bounce back after AI stocks got crushed recently by worries their prices had gone too stratospheric in the market's run to record after record in recent years.
February's CPI rate climbed 0.2% to 2.8%, results that were better than expected, helping to lift the market mood. The relief could not come too soon given the fears that have been sparked around the tariff war.

E-Mini S&P500
The S&P 500 gained 0.5% after skidding between an early gain of 1.3% and a later loss. The unsettled trading came a day after the index briefly fell more than 10% below its all-time high set last month.
Elon Musk's Tesla, whose price had more than halved since mid-December, rallied 7.6% for its first back-to-back gain in nearly a month.
Even with such gains, though, more stocks in the S&P 500 fell than rose. Among the hardest hit were businesses that could be set to feel pain because of Trump's trade war.
E-Mini Nasdaq
The Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 are holding onto gains while the Dow Jones Industrial Average has slipped into the red.
The markets are in rebound mode after a better-than-expected inflation report. Technology stocks are the tide lifting most boats, sending the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 higher while the Dow Jones has erased earlier gains.
Nvidia and Tesla led the tech sector higher with gains of 6.4% and 7% respectively. Tesla's gains come on the heels of yesterday's ringing endorsement from President Trump and a commitment from Elon Musk to bolster U.S. production of the EVs over the next couple of years.
Nvidia climbed 6.4% to trim its loss for the year so far to 13.8%. Server-maker Super Micro Computer rose 4%, and GE Vernova, which is helping to power AI data centers, gained 5.1%.

WTI Crude Oil
WTI crude oil futures eased to around $67.5 per barrel on Thursday after gaining over 2% in the previous session, as traders refocused on escalating global trade tensions. President Trump threatened more tariffs after the EU and Canada imposed retaliatory measures over US steel and aluminum levies.
Ongoing tariff concerns, weak Chinese demand, and OPEC+ plans to boost output—including Kazakhstan exceeding its quota—continue to pressure the energy market. Meanwhile, oil found support on Wednesday as US data signaled strong domestic demand and slowing inflation, reassuring investors about disinflation progress.
Government data also showed gasoline inventories fell nearly 6 million barrels to a January low, while crude stockpiles rose less than expected at 1.5 million barrels, with Cushing reserves declining.

US Gold
Gold rose to around $2,940 per ounce on Thursday, approaching record levels, as escalating global trade tensions continued to fuel safe-haven demand. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump warned of additional tariffs on EU goods after the EU and Canada retaliated against existing US trade barriers.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick also said that Trump would impose trade protections on copper as well. Meanwhile, both headline and core US inflation came in below expectations, reassuring investors about disinflation progress and giving the Federal Reserve more flexibility for a less restrictive stance. However, the impact of tariffs has yet to materialize, and inflation could rise again in the coming months.
