Investing.com--The S&P 500 closed lower Tuesday as a stumble in JPMorgan dragged banking stocks lower, forcing markets to give up early-day gains that had followed data showing slowing inflation.

At 4:00 p.m. ET (21:00 GMT), the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 398 points, or 0.8%, the S&P 500 index closed 0.2% lower and the NASDAQ Composite fell 0.1%.

Underlying inflation cools slightly

With investors eyeing the developments around the Fed, the publication of the December U.S. consumer price index, a closely-monitored gauge of inflation has generated additional attention.

U.S headline inflation in December matched both the preceding month, with consumer prices rising by 2.7% annually and by 0.3% on a month-on-month basis. Both equaled November’s rates, and were in line with economists’ expectations.

Stripping out volatile items like food and fuel, the so-called "core" consumer price index from the Labor Department came in at an annualized 2.6% and 0.2% month-on-month. These were also the same as November’s reading, and were slightly cooler than estimates.

Inflation and labor market strength are the Fed’s two biggest considerations for setting interest rates. Nonfarm payrolls data released last week showed some resilience in the labor sector.

"The chances of a rate cut in January are still slim - March looks more likely," said Jarek Sklodowki, head of trading at Financial Markets Online. "America’s recovery is still on track, even if job creation is disappointingly modest, so the Fed won’t be in a hurry to cut rates - but disinflation means it has the freedom to do so.”

JPMorgan kicks off quarterly earnings season; Intel, AMD leads chips higher

JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) reported fourth-quarter earnings and revenue that topped estimates, but weaker-than-expected performance in its investing banking division just as its acquisition of Apple’s credit-card program weighed on profit. The country’s largest bank posted a fall in profit of 7% after it factored in a previously-disclosed $2.2 billion credit reserve linked to its acquisition of the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) credit-card program from Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS).

Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) and Citigroup (NYSE:C) are set to report earnings on Wednesday. 

Coupled with the inflation data, the outcome of the bank earnings could contribute to the tone for stock markets in the early weeks of 2026.

Robust bank earnings could help paint an upbeat picture of the state of Corporate America, and possibly alleviate some worries among more jittery investors in the process.

Elsewhere on the earnings stage, Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings that slightly exceeded analyst expectations, but shares fell after the airline’s revenue missed estimates and investors reacted to mixed guidance for 2026.

Chip stocks, meanwhile, were in the ascendency, led by Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD) and Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) after Keybank upgraded its rating on both companies "overweight" and lifted its price target on the stocks, sending them more than 7% and 6% higher, respectively.
