Stock futures clawing back upward after previous day dump caused by rising inflation

DJIA futures currently trading up 42 points and indicate recovery after the previous day’s bearish movement. CPI data show an increase of 0.9% compared to 0.6% which pushes bond yield up. The market realized that the uptick in inflation number might suggest a more aggressive approach by the Fed to tame the inflation before it goes out of control.
