United States inflation figures triggered a stock selloff, pushing the S&P 500 down 1% and sending COREWEAVE INC-CL A credit default swaps above 1,000 basis points. September core inflation sparked a rethink on interest rates, with futures pricing a 50-50 chance of a Federal Reserve hike this month. The tech sector bore the brunt of the flight from risk, pulling down global equities from Seoul to New York.
