Major Averages Dip Slightly as Investors Await CPI Report

The major averages were a little lower near noon as traders digest another slate of corporate earnings and continue to weigh progress towards potentially reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Progress in talks between Iran and Oman over maritime activity has helped pull oil prices lower after Brent briefly approached $90 a barrel amid the latest U.S.-Iran tensions.Meanwhile, investors await the July CPI report, with economists surveyed by Reuters expecting headline inflation to rise 3.4% year over year and core CPI to increase 2.5%. The report will be particularly important following last week's unexpectedly weak July jobs report, which showed payrolls falling by 23,000 and prompted markets to sharply reduce expectations for a September Fed rate hike. A hotter-than-expected CPI reading could push those expectations back in the opposite direction.Get caught up quickly on the top news and calls moving stocks with these five Top Five lists.1.
