US stock markets saw gains on Wednesday, driven by strong corporate earnings reports. Investors also reacted positively to recent inflation data, which showed a notable slowdown. This easing inflation reduced expectations for an imminent interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve. However, ongoing Middle East tensions kept global energy supply concerns elevated. Asian and European markets also posted gains, with technology shares leading the advance.
