What happened
CoreWeave's strong results led to rallies in Asian and US stock futures, despite a hot US inflation print that increased the risk of a half-point rate hike next month. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller indicated that the likelihood of the FED lifting borrowing costs by fifty basis points at its next gathering has climbed sharply following accelerated consumer prices.
