Key drivers included an encouraging inflation report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers up just 0.2 percent over two months through November, milder than expected, easing Treasury yields and boosting hopes for Federal Reserve rate cuts next year[2][3]. Micron Technology's strong profit report lifted AI stocks, per SFGATE[2].

Technology led sectors higher, with smaller companies in the Russell 2000 up 0.6 percent, while energy lagged amid mixed trends[2]. The CBOE Volatility Index rose 6.92 percent to 17.62, signaling increased fear[1].

Market highlights featured Micron as a standout gainer on earnings, though specific volume leaders and biggest movers were not detailed in reports. The inflation data overshadowed other releases like Census Bureau business trends[6].
