Dow Drops 225 Points Amid Concerns Over Inflation

The US stock market ended mixed on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling about 225 points. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also closed at mixed prices after a strong Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for January sparked concerns over inflation.

The hot CPI print raised questions about whether the Federal Reserve can maintain interest rates at current levels throughout 2025. Robinhood and Reddit will release their earnings reports soon, adding to market uncertainty.

As of 4:44 PM EST on February 12, 2025, investors are closely watching these developments for any potential impact on the market.
