🔴 Miscellaneous Sector ETF (MARS) is trading 3.2% down in pre-market as hot CPI renews rate concerns

MARS is trading at $22.10, down -3.20%, as September inflation renewed concerns about higher-for-longer rates.

• September CPI accelerated to 3.7% year over year, above the 3.6% forecast.
• Asian markets extended the selloff, with technology shares hit hard; reports linked the pressure to hot U.S. inflation and worries about AI investment.
• Weak Nasdaq futures and premarket technology shares added to risk-off pressure; no MARS-specific overnight news was identified.
