US equities closed slightly lower as investors stayed cautious ahead of crucial inflation data influencing Federal Reserve rate expectations.
Wall Street ended marginally lower as investors turned cautious ahead of key US inflation data expected later this week. The S&P 500 slipped 0.3 percent, while the Nasdaq fell 0.4 percent as technology stocks faced mild profit taking. Treasury yields remained steady, reflecting uncertainty around the Federal Reserve’s interest rate trajectory. Market participants are closely tracking inflation signals to assess the timing and pace of potential rate cuts in 2026.
