Inflation cooling down makes U.S. stocks rebound, traders hope to catch a breather with the remaining time in 2025.

This week, the United States released new employment and inflation data, giving investors a fresh perspective on the US economy. After inflation data suggested a cooling in price increases, the stock market surged on Thursday. However, many Wall Street professionals pointed out that these reports, delayed due to the government shutdown in the fall, have distorted the interpretation of the economy. Bill Northey, Chief Investment Officer at the Bank of America Wealth Management, said, "We need some reports to follow up on this data, either confirming or refuting trends. Some traders may just be taking a breather in the final weeks of this year. I think everyone is ready to tackle the tasks of 2025."
