Market Turbulence as Inflation Data and Trump Summit Weigh on Wall Street

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was among the indices that felt the impact, with a 0.5% decline to 49,525.78 just 15 minutes into trading. This decline was not limited to the Dow Jones, as the broad-based S&P 500 slipped by 0.2% to 7,386.93. The tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index was also affected, losing less than 0.1% and closing at 26,078.63.
