S&P 500 Rides Tech Earnings Wave Despite Inflation Warning Shot

The S&P 500 is up 0.50% as mega-cap earnings beats and a sharp drop in oil prices outweighed a hotter-than-expected Fed-preferred inflation reading. The move reflects a risk-on tone, with stronger corporate results and cheaper energy offsetting inflation concerns. This is market-relevant because it combines earnings-driven support with macro inflation pressure.
