The U.S. market closed mostly lower on Tuesday (May 12): Dow +0.11%, S&P 500 -0.16%, and Nasdaq -0.71%. S&P 500 and Nasdaq weakened, triggered by recent data showing that the consumer price index increased at faster pace last month due to the ongoing blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield increased 4.96bps to 4.463%, while the U.S. Dollar Index gained 0.35% to 98.30.
