SPXL is trading at $287.20, down 3.44%, as hotter-than-expected September CPI pushed Treasury yields higher. - Headline inflation was 3.7% year over year versus 3.6% expected; core CPI was 2.6% versus 2.5% expected. - Higher yields strengthened expectations for Fed tightening, pressuring the broad S&P 500 and rate-sensitive growth stocks; SPXL’s leveraged exposure magnified the broad-index decline. - Semiconductor weakness added pressure, while bank earnings also contributed to market volatility.
