The data bolstered expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its meeting next week, with markets now largely pricing in a September reduction.

The rally comes as traders also eye Thursday’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report — the final major inflation gauge before the Fed’s decision. Meanwhile, corporate earnings remained in focus, with GameStop jumping on stronger revenue, while Chewy slid after reporting a steep profit drop.
