It was less than half last June's peak of 9.1% but still double the Fed's 2% target.

That would be the first monthly meeting in more than a year without a rate hike.Nvidia gained 3.9% on Tuesday and was the strongest force pushing up the S&P 500, along with other technology stocks. Tech and other high-growth stocks are seen as some of the biggest beneficiaries if the Fed eases off rate hikes.On Tuesday, four out of five stocks in the S&P 500 rose.
