The market is trading higher on Wednesday after the Labor Department reported the latest Consumer Price Index figure for the month of March. While most stocks are trading higher alongside the major index funds, several stocks are taking noticeable hits in the premarket and early market trading hours.
What Happened: The U.S. Labor Department reported headline CPI of 5% for the month of March, which came in below what many economists were predicting for the month.
CPI was up 0.1% on a month-over-month basis, which also came in lower than economists’ expectations for the month.
Core CPI, which excludes food and energy items, rose 5.6% year-over-year for the month of March.
The figure marks the lowest inflation reading since May 2021.
The better-than-forecasted CPI reading sent many stocks higher Wednesday. Here’s a look at the top movers in the premarket Wednesday.
