• US stocks rebound in midday trade despite the US CPI print.
• Bulls have stepped in at a bargain on Wall Street.

US stocks are roaring back into positive territory, putting on a short squeeze following the pre-market and opening sell-off that ensued on the back of red-hot Consumer Price Index data. Stocks plunged to lows for the year but bulls moved in at a big discount, sending the Dow Jones and S&P 500 higher by as much as 2% at one point.

Trading was dominated by the release of consumer price figures:

Core CPI gained at its highest annual pace in 40 years, rising 0.6% for the month and 6.6% for the year and Fed funds futures are now pricing in 75 bps in December, up from 50. Moreover, terminal rate expectations rose to 4.85% in March. As a consequence, the 10-year Treasury yield rallied to 4.080% while the 2-year yield was up to 4.535%.

The report follows data on Wednesday that showed US producer prices increased more than expected in September and combined with CPI, traders in the money markets are pricing in a near 91% odds of a fourth straight 75-basis-point hike by the Fed at its meeting next month, with some also pricing in a 9% chance of a 100 bps rise.

Nevertheless, some price discovery is coming into the markets ahead of the third-quarter earnings at the end o the week while the indexes trail along the bottom of a 50% correction of the March 2020 rally. At 1.33 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 851 points, or 2.93%, at 30,062 and had recovered from the low of the day down at 28,660.94. The S&P 500 was up 93.80 points to 2.62% while the Nasdaq Composite was up 253 points, or 2.34%%, at 11,037.

At a 50% mark of the March 2020 bull market, the index is carving out an M-formation that would be respected to see the market move in on the neckline with a 50% mean reversion falling in at the month’s highs so far near 3,806.
