U.S. inflation for August came in largely as expected, with the headline number easing to 2.5% from 2.9% in July.

However, a slightly higher-than-expected core CPI, which excludes food and energy, briefly rattled Wall Street but the S&P 500 pared its losses and ended the day higher.

The rebound was driven by a tech rally led by Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), which helped offset fading hopes for a 50 bp interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve next week.

As investors digest the latest CPI data, expectations for a 25-basis point cut have increased, but economic uncertainty still looms.

In times like these, it’s wise to focus on quality stocks that haven’t yet reached their full potential due to temporary setbacks or cyclical factors.
