A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the SaaS sector continued to rally as favorable inflation data bolstered hopes for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut. This optimism was largely driven by a benign July Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, which solidified investor expectations for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut. Following the release of the inflation data, which showed a year-over-year increase of 2.7%, the probability of a rate cut in September surged to over 96%. Lower interest rates are typically beneficial for growth-oriented technology stocks, as they can reduce borrowing costs and increase the present value of future earnings. Adding to the positive sentiment was a 90-day delay in the imposition of higher tariffs on Chinese goods, which reduced trade-related uncertainty for the technology sector.

Shares of project management software maker Monday.com (NASDAQ:MNDY)
fell 26.5% in the morning session after the company reported second-quarter results that beat analyst estimates but issued a weaker-than-expected revenue outlook for the third quarter. The main concern for investors was the company's third-quarter revenue guidance of $311 million to $313 million. The midpoint of this range fell just short of Wall Street's forecast and signaled a potential slowdown in growth. This overshadowed the company's revenue and profit beats in the second quarter. Adding to investor concerns, profitability weakened, with the GAAP operating margin falling to -3.9% from 0.8% in the same quarter last year. The company's free cash flow margin also decreased year on year to 20.1%. These negative forward-looking indicators and weakening margins prompted a significant sell-off in the stock, despite an otherwise solid quarter.
