In the January FOMC meeting minutes, Federal Reserve officials continued to anticipate further increases in borrowing costs would be necessary to bring inflation down to their 2% target when they met earlier this month, though almost all supported a step down in the pace of hikes.

The Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge unexpectedly accelerated in January and consumer spending surged after a year-end slump, adding pressure on policymakers to keep ratcheting up interest rates.

US economic growth in the fourth quarter was weaker than previously estimated, reflecting a downward revision to consumer spending as the Fed’s preferred inflation figures were revised higher.

Nvidia’s share price jumped after giving a bullish revenue outlook for the current quarter, suggesting that a push into artificial intelligence processors is helping offset sluggish demand for personal computer chips. The forecast signals that Nvidiaโ€™s foray into AI computing chips is paying off as Its chips excel at the kind of parallel processing that allows computers to make sense of large amounts of data and train software to make decisions.

Walmart Inc. and Home Depot Inc. both gave cautious annual guidance Tuesday and warned that demand could moderate through 2023. At the same time, though, Walmartโ€™s comparable store sales in the three months through January far exceeded analyst estimates.
