[BRIEFING.COM] The stock market has started the session on an upbeat note as the good vibes from yesterday's trading continue to be felt.

Huge gains in foreign markets have had a carryover effect in the U.S. where relatively good news on the inflation front and the thinking that the Fed's actions will prevent a recession have contributed to the buying interest.

Earlier it was reported that CPI for August declined 0.1% (consensus unchanged) while core-CPI, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.2% (consensus +0.2%) to leave the year-over-year increase in core-CPI at a palatable 2.1%.
