U.S. Stocks Suffer Worst Day Since July After Hot September Inflation Report

U.S. stocks had their worst day since July on Oct. 14 after hot September inflation, Barron's reported. S&P 500 fell 0.3%, Nasdaq 0.4%, per Barron's. Consumer prices, the cost of living, rose 0.6% in a month, Bloomberg reported, lifting bets the Fed keeps rates high. I'd read one print as pressure on borrowers, not proof of a trend.
