Market Jitters Return as Cooler CPI Surprises Wall Street

A softer‑than‑expected U.S. Consumer Price Index reading sent a ripple through financial markets today, creating an unusual dynamic: good news on inflation, but renewed pressure on major stock indexes. A Cooling CPI, but a Nervous Market The latest CPI report showed inflation easing more than economists anticipated. Under normal circumstances, that would be a welcome sign—suggesting the Federal Reserve may have more room to consider rate cuts later in the year. But markets don’t always behave logically in the moment. Today, the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq all slipped as investors reassessed what the data means for corporate earnings, interest‑rate expectations, and the broader economic outlook.

Your daily horoscope: September 23, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

It’s your time to shine and you will do so in ways that bring praise and reward in equal measure. There is though a danger you need to look out for and that is being too generous with people who don’t deserve it. Be careful who you trust.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

With Mars, your ruling planet, moving through the most secretive area of your chart you must keep what you know about a certain situation to yourself. If you give away too much information now it could cause a great deal of panic later on.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Mars in your opposite sign of Scorpio means you must expect some resistance from those you deal with on a one-to-one basis. Be that as it may this is not the time to have second thoughts about what you know must be done. Do it immediately!

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Cosmic activity in the work and wellbeing area of your chart will give you the energy to push ahead with plans that are sure to provoke resistance from people who don’t see the need for change. Think before you act but then act swiftly and decisively.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

This is one of the best times of the year to get serious about creative projects of one kind or another. Set yourself targets that stretch you but are still within reach and then go after them with passion and purpose. You might just change the world.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

If you act in a domineering manner today the responses you get will at the very least be unpopular and may even cause some people to go out of their way to obstruct you. Try being more of a team player. It’s not that difficult.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You may not be one of the more sociable members of the zodiac but you have your moments and with Mars moving through the most outgoing area of your chart you will find it easier than usual to indulge in small talk – which could lead to big opportunities.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

You need to find an outlet for all that pent-up energy and one way might be to focus on ways to make money. Even if you are well-off already, having a dollar figure to aim for will encourage you to aim higher and accomplish more creatively.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

You will find it extraordinarily easy to get things done now that Mars is moving through your sign, but you must be selective about your goals. Also, don’t let other people distract you from what is of most importance to you personally.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

The best way to change the world for the better is to change the way you choose to live. Forget about what the headlines say and focus only on what is going on in your own life and the lives of those you are directly connected to.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Sometimes you fail to take radical action because you worry what other people might think about it, but now you must put those fears out of your mind and do what you know in your heart to be right. Listen to your conscience and ignore everything else.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Mars in the career area of your chart will bring both opportunities and challenges, so you must be ready to act at a moment’s notice. You don’t need to run your plans past anyone, not even your professional superiors. If it feels right then do it!

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Don’t worry if you find yourself loaded up with new responsibilities because you have what it takes to make a success of them. You may have a reputation as one of the more laidback members of the zodiac but you also possess skills that other people lack.
