Wall Street mixed, dollar climbs ahead of inflation report
Global equities were down and Wall Street indexes were mixed Tuesday and the dollar rose, as investors awaited fresh inflation data and further economic news later in the week. Gold prices hit a two-week high, boosted by rising geopolitical tensions and expectations of a third U.S. rate cut by the Federal Reserve next week. Traders awaited U.S. inflation data due on Wednesday and a meeting by the European Central Bank on Thursday.
