Wall Street is eyeing respite from its recent selloff, with the major benchmarks mostly higher this afternoon despite another red-hot inflation report. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) boasts a 200-point midday lead, set to snap its four-day losing streak even after April's consumer price index (CPI) hovered near 40-year highs. The S&P 500 Index (SPX) is also gaining some traction, while the Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) is sitting out on the rally. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) is struggling to stay above the $30,000 mark after dropping below this level for the second time this week earlier today. The cryptocurrency was last seen down 1.2% at $30,976.30.
