Sprout Social IncSofter PPI data reduces rate pressure, boosting growth stock valuations.
Shares of Atlassian, Sprout Social, and Flywire rose in afternoon trading after a softer-than-expected Producer Price Index report eased inflation concerns and lifted growth stocks. June wholesale inflation fell 0.3% versus expectations for a flat reading, following a sharp 0.4% decline in consumer prices the prior session, which together shifted focus away from IBM's warning about client budget reprioritization. Atlassian jumped 3.5%, Sprout Social gained 4.2%, and Flywire climbed 5.1%, with Flywire also reaching a new 52-week high of $18.82 per share. The cooling inflation data reduced pressure on the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates high, mechanically boosting valuations for growth companies whose worth depends heavily on future cash flows.
