Shares of financial services company Triumph Financial (NYSE:TFIN) fell 5.4% in the afternoon session after reports revealed a surprisingly discouraging update on inflation at the wholesale level. The report showed inflation was at 2.9% last month, significantly higher than economists had anticipated. This unexpected rise rattled investors, as it could influence the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. The central bank has been considering interest rate cuts, which are generally seen as a way to boost the economy and support investment prices. However, with inflation proving more persistent than expected, the Fed may be persuaded to delay these cuts for a longer period. This potential delay creates uncertainty in the market, leading to a broad sell-off as traders reassess the outlook for corporate profits and economic growth in a higher-rate environment.
