  • While economic growth fears have ebbed, inflation is inching higher, and November CPI will set the tone for the stock market in the near term, BofA said.

The article from Business Insider discusses the U.S. stock market's reaction to the latest inflation data and provides insights from Bank of America on future market trends.

However, they caution that persistent high inflation could still pose risks to this optimistic outlook.
