Stock Market Update Market Performance: April 10, 2024. US stocks stumbled on Wednesday after a key inflation report showed an unexpected uptick in consumer prices last month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell about 1.1%, or almost 425 points. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) dropped nearly 1%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) lost almost 0.9%. Meanwhile, bond yields soared. The 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) gained as much as 20 basis points on Wednesday afternoon, hitting nearly 4.57%, its highest level since November. The moves came after government data showed the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.4% over the previous month and 3.5% over the prior year in March, an unexpected acceleration from February's 3.2% annual gain in prices. [Both measures came in ahead of economist forecasts]( of a 0.3% month-over-month increase and a 3.4% annual increase, according to a survey by Bloomberg. Financial Maverick Insights Can money buy happiness? Income may boost emotional well-being more than we thought New findings contradict widely reported study that happiness plateaus at $75,000 Money does indeed buy happiness, and it increases with a bigger paycheque more than economists previously believed, a recent analysis has found. [Widely reported findings by two Nobel Prize-winning economists (new window) in 2010 cemented the idea that money could buy happiness only to a certain point —]( and that point was said to be about $75,000 at the time. The newer conclusions are based on a more continuous measure of happiness, Kushlev told Cost of Living (new window). The researchers would ping their subjects' phones randomly during the day to ask them, How do you feel right now? — rating their mood on a scale from very bad to very good. So when you use this measure, there seems to be a linear relationship between income and happiness that does not level off at $75,000, Kushlev said. 3 pillars of happiness Kushlev said when researchers talk about happiness, they tend to use a term called subjective well-being, which has three components. One component is how we look at our lives overall, and that's what we call life satisfaction. And generally speaking, when we talk about income and happiness, income does relate to greater life satisfaction. But Kushlev said what's less clear from research is how money affects the other two pillars of emotional well-being: frequent positive feelings and relatively infrequent negative feelings.
