美国股市周三收盘走高，此前特朗普总统否认了解雇美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔的计划，尽管他没有完全排除这一可能性。标准普尔500指数上涨0.3%，道琼斯指数上涨231点，纳斯达克100指数微涨0.1%，创下历史新高。市场最初下跌，因为有报道称特朗普正在考虑鲍威尔的免职，加剧了投资者对持续通胀和持续贸易紧张局势的担忧。周二公布的CPI数据高于预期，显示了自2月以来最快的年度通胀，6月份的生产者价格指数持平，这缓解了一些压力。在企业方面，美国银行在收入低于预期后下跌0.3%，摩根士丹利尽管盈利稳健，但下跌1.3%。与此同时，高盛在超过利润预期后上涨了1%，强生公司在业绩强劲和全年前景升级后上涨了6.2%。

Stocks in the US closed higher on Wednesday after President Trump denied plans to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, though he stopped short of ruling it out entirely. The S&P 500 climbed 0.3%, while the Dow rose 231 points and the Nasdaq 100 edged up 0.1% to mark fresh record close. Markets had initially dipped on reports suggesting Trump was weighing Powell’s removal, compounding investor concerns over persistent inflation and ongoing trade tensions. June’s flat Producer Price Index provided some relief after Tuesday’s hotter-than-expected CPI reading, which showed the fastest annual inflation since February. On the corporate front, Bank of America fell 0.3% after revenue came in below expectations, and Morgan Stanley slid 1.3% despite solid earnings. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs gained 1% after beating profit estimates, and Johnson & Johnson jumped 6.2% following strong results and an upgraded full-year outlook.
