S&P 500, Nasdaq rise after inflation-linked route; Disney weighs down Dow

November 11 (Reuters) – The S&P 500 and Nasdaq recovered on Thursday from two days of inflation-driven sales, but losses at Walt Disney due to declining subscriber growth in their streaming video service weighed on Dow.

A record rally in Wall Street’s major indices ended earlier this week as recent inflation reports suggest it will take longer for the current rise in prices to cool in the midst of congested global supply chains.

But Arthur Hogan, chief marketing officer at National Securities in New York, said investors were able to look beyond the short term as “we only have more demand than supply.”

“That’s probably a good thing for future earnings growth,” he said.

Six of the 11 major S&P 500 sector indices rose in early trading, with consumer discretionary (.SPLRCD) leading the way.
