Hot inflation data causes turmoil for stocks, Roku tumbles: Yahoo Finance Live
Prices at the wholesale level rose more than expected in January, leading to another volatile day for the three major indexes (^DJI, ^GSPC, ^IXIC). The January Producer Price Index reading was 0.3%, higher than the 0.1% economists had forecast. One of the biggest movers of the day is Roku (ROKU). The streaming platform posted better-than-expected revenue in the fourth quarter, but the first-quarter outlook was a disappointment, sending shares plummeting more than 20%.
