In the early morning of the 14th Beijing time, US stocks closed higher on Thursday, led by energy and financial sectors.

The market even predicted that the Fed could raise interest rates by 100 basis points in November.

The Dow closed up 827.87 points, or 2.83%, at 30038.72; the Nasdaq rose 232.05, or 2.23%, to 10649.15; and the S & P 500 rose 92.88, or 2.60%, to 3669.91.

The US consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.4 per cent in September from a month earlier, higher than the 0.3 per cent expected by the market, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Thursday.

Excluding volatile food and energy prices, core CPI rose 0.6 per cent month-on-month in September, higher than market expectations of 0.4 per cent. Core CPI rose 6.6% in September from a year earlier, returning to its highest level in more than 40 years.
