Stocks hit fresh record high but US dollar weakens as Fed rate cut expectations gain momentum
NEW YORK/LONDON, Aug 12 (Reuters) - World shares hit record highs on Tuesday after U.S. consumer prices data fueled expectations of an impending Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September, and a trade war truce between Washington and Beijing also buoyed sentiment. On Wall Street, the benchmark S&P 500 and the Nasdaq hit record highs after losing ground in the previous session. All 11 sectors on the S&P 500 advanced, led by stocks in communication services, technology and financials. The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI, opens new tab closed up 1.10%, the S&P 500 .SPX, opens new tab gained 1.13% and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC, opens new tabadvanced 1.39%. European stocks (.STOXX), opens new tab finished higher, rising 0.21%. MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe (.MIWD00000PUS), opens new tab rose 1% to 947.66, hitting a fresh record high. U.S. Labor Department data showed that the consumer price index rose 2.7% in 12 months through to July, which was slightly below the 2.8% rate that economists polled by Reuters had forecast. "There was upside risk to inflation, and the market was bracing for that in some respects," said James St. Aubin, chief investment officer at Ocean Park Asset Management in Santa Monica, California. "The report today, all things considered, was fairly benign. I don't think there was anything to write home about, but it certainly took the worst-case scenario off the table." Asian equities had rallied overnight after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order pausing triple-digit levies on Chinese imports for another 90 days. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan (.MIAPJ0000PUS), opens new tab gained 0.18%. Markets on Tuesday traded on short-term relief, however, as the softer-than-expected consumer price data firmed up bets for U.S. rate cuts. Traders are pricing in a 94% chance of a Fed cut in September, up from nearly 86% a day ago and about 57% a month earlier, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Short-term U.S. Treasury bond prices rallied moderately, with the yield on two-year notes, which track interest rate expectations, down 2.3 bps at 3.731%. Longer-dated bond prices were lower. The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes rose 1.4 basis points to 4.287% while the yield on 30-year notes rose 3.4 basis points to 4.8746%. Investors had been on tenterhooks about this batch of inflation data because it had followed a surprisingly weak jobs report on August 1 and had the potential to make concerns about U.S. stagflation a dominant global narrative. Trump has nominated White House adviser Stephen Miran to temporarily fill a vacant board seat at the U.S. central bank, stirring up speculation about presidential interference in monetary policy. The U.S. and China have engaged in a tit-for-tat tariff duel throughout the year, culminating in trade talks in Geneva, London, and Stockholm since May that focused on bringing tariffs down from triple-digit levels. Chinese exports jumped 7.2% year-on-year in July, beating the consensus forecast of economists polled by Reuters, but the nation's factory gate prices dropped by the most in two years in a further sign of manufacturers struggling to sell goods at home. In currency markets, the dollar weakened 0.25% to 147.77 against the Japanese yen and was down 0.71% at 0.807 against the Swiss franc . The euro rose 0.53% against the dollar at $1.1675. The pound rose 0.51% against the dollar to $1.3496 as traders anticipated the Bank of England will lag other non-U.S. central banks in implementing rate cuts. The BoE cut benchmark borrowing costs by a quarter-point to 4% last week after a tightly balanced vote between members of its monetary policy committee, who also broadly agreed that the risks of an upward wages-and-prices spiral remained present. Ten-year gilt yields were flat at 4.6186%. In commodities, spot gold prices were up 0.11% at $3,347.60 per ounce after dropping nearly 1.6% on Monday in response to Trump announcing there would be no tariffs on imported gold bars. Brent crude oil settled down 0.77% to $66.12 a barrel ahead of the August 15 meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, aimed at negotiating an end to the war in Ukraine. U.S. crude settled down 1.24% to $63.17 a barrel.

Cava's shares crater after first annual sales growth target cut since IPO
Aug 12 (Reuters) - Shares of Cava (CAVA.N), opens new tab dropped 21% in extended trading on Tuesday, after the Mediterranean restaurant chain lowered its annual same-store sales growth target for the first time since it listed on the New York Stock Exchange two years ago. An uncertain macroeconomic environment has forced consumers to opt for more affordable meals at home, dampening demand for dining out over the last several months, impacting the results of other restaurant chains, including burrito giant Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG.N), opens new tab and salad-focused Sweetgreen (SG.N), opens new tab. Cava had reported a double-digit rise in same-store sales for the last four quarters, helped by demand for its pita wraps and salad bowls. However, customer traffic remained almost flat in the second quarter, with its same-store sales rising 2.1%, below estimates of 6.47%, according to data compiled by LSEG. Cava now expects full-year same-restaurant sales growth between 4% and 6%, compared with its prior target of 6% to 8%. Consumers were less confident than they were a year ago as economic uncertainties weighed, which led to weaker traffic in June and early July, but visits have improved since, said Brett Schulman, Cava's co-founder and CEO. Cava is opening more stores to capitalize on the resilient demand for its menu items and has raised its target for annual new restaurant openings to a range of 68 to 70, from 64 to 68 expected earlier. It also maintained targets for annual profit margin and core profit. The company does not plan to increase prices and would try to absorb any inflationary costs from tariffs, Schulman added. "As we've seen the last few weeks, I don't know that these recent announcements (on tariffs) will be the same announcements in a couple of weeks. So we're staying nimble," he said. The company reported a profit of 16 cents per share for the quarter ended July 13, compared with estimates of 13 cents apiece. As of last close, Cava's shares have more than doubled to $84.50 since its blockbuster IPO in June 2023.
