A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after markets continued to rally as a surprisingly subdued inflation report fueled hopes for an imminent interest rate cut from the U.S. Federal Reserve. The July Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed a year-over-year increase of 2.7%, which was slightly below market expectations. This tamer-than-expected inflation data was viewed by investors as a key signal that price pressures are easing. As a result, the market has strengthened its conviction that the U.S. Federal Reserve will implement an interest rate cut in September. The prospect of lower borrowing costs tends to boost corporate profitability and can stimulate economic activity, creating a more favorable environment for consumer-facing companies and fueling a broad-based market rally.

Shares of potato products company Lamb Weston (NYSE:LW)
jumped 3.2% in the afternoon session after the release of a favorable Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed inflation cooling more than anticipated. The July report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated a year-over-year inflation rate of 2.7%, just below the 2.8% economists had forecast. This suggests that price pressures on consumers may be easing. Particularly beneficial for the sector was the news that the food index remained flat, with grocery prices even declining by 0.1% month-over-month. This development is seen as a positive for the profitability of food, beverage, and personal care companies, as lower input costs and increased consumer purchasing power could boost sales. A Federal Reserve official's comments on the same day, noting that consumer spending fundamentals remain solid, further bolstered investor confidence in the sector's resilience.
