US stocks began the session mixed on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones sliding 1% and the S&P 500 shedding 0.4% as new data showed inflation ticked up in June. The increased inflation rate indicates that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to cut interest rates anytime soon. However, the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.2% as Nvidia led chipmakers higher on news that it will soon be able to resume shipments of its AI chips to China following US export restrictions.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Dow Jones slid 1% to close at 44,022 points, while the S&P 500 shed 0.4% at 6,243.
  • The tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.2% at 20,677 points as Nvidia led chipmakers higher.
