Tariff Fears Dissolve as Stock Market Presses Upward
Stocks are high again today after the recent Consumer Price Index report showed that inflation is not moving.
Quick overview
- The stock market is experiencing a bullish trend, with major indices like the Nasdaq and Dow Jones showing gains despite inflation and new tariffs.
- The Consumer Price Index report indicates that inflation remains stable, allowing the stock market to continue its upward trajectory.
- Standout stocks such as Tesla, Apple, and Nvidia are driving market performance, with each showing significant gains recently.
- Investors are encouraged to take advantage of the current market strength and potential for exceptional returns.
Inflation and new tariffs are hardly holding the stock market back at all as all three major indices continue to rise Wednesday after the Consumer Price Index report released the previous day.
Inflation has not moved according to the most recent CPI data, and new tariffs are not a problem for the stock market, so we are seeing bullish movement across the indices, with the Nasdaq Composite gaining 0.54% and the Dow Jones climbing 0.61%. The S&P 500 also added 0.40% Wednesday morning, rounding out a report of stock market indices on the rise.
What has the market looking slightly bullish this week? Consecutive days of gains for the market mean that an upward trend is emerging. Even with inflation sticking and refusing to decrease, the stock market can still climb. Even with new tariffs launched against a number of trade partners of the United States, stocks are mostly high, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 reporting record breaking numbers.
This tells investors that the market and the economy are strong and resilient and are capable of incredible gains in this current environment.
A Closer Look at Reigning Stocks
While the stock market as a whole is performing well, there are a few standout stocks that deserve a mention and that investors should be paying close attention to. These are the ones that have pulled up the rest of the stock market and could continue to be excellent performers a few months down the road.
Tesla (TSLA) may have had a rough year, but its last few months have seen the electric automaker strengthen its stock performance and start to gain back some lost ground. For almost the entirety of August, Tesla has done extremely well and has been bullish.
Apple (APPL) stock suffered in April of 2025, but like Tesla, this stock has really taken off in August after months of steady performance. Apple has the second highest market capitalization for any company in the world, and their strong showing in August, with gains of more than 13% makes them a good choice for investors hoping to see exceptional gains throughout the rest of the year.
Nvidia (NVDA) has been on a long bullish trend. The stock really started to gain momentum at the end of April and has been bullish ever since. If investors look at its gains since then, they will see that this stock is the closest to a sure thing that the market is producing right now.
