by The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose more than 300 points on Tuesday morning as a key inflation report and recovering financial data bolstered early trade. Contested regional bank First Republic (FRC) rallied 60% in morning action as federal government measures to quell bank fears after Monday’s plunge appeared to be taking effect.

The SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE) was up more than 10% on Tuesday, recovering after Monday’s 12% plunge. KeyCorp (KEY) up almost 20% Western Alliance (WAL) Launched 45% higher. Finally, Karl Schwab (SCHW) rallied 14% in early morning trade.
CPI Inflation Report
Wall Street suddenly sees a solid chance that the Federal Reserve will pause its rate-hiking campaign at next week’s meeting as the collapse of three banks stokes concerns about broader financial sector strains.
That could detract from the recent significance of CPI, which rose 0.4% in February, in line with expectations. Core CPI rose 0.5% in February, ahead of the 0.4% estimate. Headline CPI inflation was an estimated 6.0%, with core inflation also matching estimates at 5.5%.
But almost regardless of the CPI result, moves of half a point now appear to be off the table. And that’s just a week after Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled that policymakers were ready to reaccelerate rate hikes from February’s quarter-point pace at next week’s meeting.
Bank failures sparked a run on bonds and other safe havens, sparking a sharp fall in Treasury yields and signaling growing doubts about the strength of the economy. Even if the Fed doesn’t pause next week, markets now appear to be betting that rate cuts are just around the corner.
On the earnings front GitLab (GTLB) plunged 30% in premarket trading after the company’s revenue forecast came in weaker than expected.
At the end of the season, revenue will continue to flow that week. Below are Academy Sport & Outdoor (ASO), Adobe (ADBE), Dollar General (DG), FedEx (FDX), five below (Five and lennar (LEN).

Five Dow Jones stocks to buy and watch
Keep an Eye on Dow Jones Stocks: Nike, Salesforce
Since their Oct. 3 bottom, Nike shares are up as much as 59% to a recent high of 131.31. Now the stock is consolidating within a flat base that offers a buy point of 131.41 according to pattern recognition by IBD MarketSmith. NKE shares were up 1.25% early Tuesday.
Amid recent weakness, the stock is below its 50-day moving average, a key benchmark. A crucial replay would be bullish for the base building outlook and would cut the right side of the pattern. The line of relative strength is also holding up well during the rapidly evolving stock market correction.
For the past few weeks, Dow Jones leader Salesforce has shown major bullishness after strong fourth-quarter results. But those gains have mostly evaporated given the recent market weakness, and now the stock is back below an entry of 178.94 cup w/ handle. Still, the stock’s recent strength is reason to watch the software leader in the coming sessions. CRM stock rose 2.5% on Tuesday.
