S&P 500 rises 0.37% as Fed Chair Warsh pledges to drive inflation back to 2%
US equities advanced after Fed Chair Warsh said growth looks firmer and reiterated commitment to returning inflation to 2%, lifting the implied odds of a September hike to 56% and nudging yields higher. Softer Chicago PMI and downward payroll revisions partially offset the hawkish signal. Tech leadership supported the tape, while semis and AI infrastructure lagged after Marvell's weak margin outlook.
