Today's inflation data helped Wall Street close out the day, week, month, and --last but not least -- quarter with a bang. The Dow added 285 points today, securing its third consecutive quarterly win and best monthly gain since November. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both inked their fourth-straight monthly pop, the former's best month since November and the latter's best since January. Elsewhere, the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) marked its third quarterly dip in a row.

It was also a big first half of the year for Wall Street. The Nasdaq vastly outperformed, surging nearly 32% for its best first half since 1983. The S&P 500 popped 16% for its best first two-quarter performance since 2019, while the Dow turned in a more modest first-half gain.
