  All three major U.S. stock indexes finished at their highest-ever levels on Wednesday, fueled by signs of slowing inflation on a monthly basis in April's consumer price index.
  
  It was the first time since March 21 that all three indexes reached record closing highs on the same day.
  
  The Dow Jones finished up by 349.89 points, or 0.9%, at 39,908. It surpassed its prior record closing high of 39,807.37, reached on March 28.
  
  The S&P 500 closed up by 61.47 points, or 1.2%, at 5,308,15. It finished above its prior record closing high of 5,254.35, also reached on March 28.
  
  The Nasdaq Composite ended up by 231.21 points, or 1.4%, at 16,742.39 — above its prior record closing high of 16,511.18, which was hit on Tuesday.
  
  “The April inflation reading is the first good data point for the Fed this year," said Mace McCain, chief investment officer at Frost Investment Advisors, which manages $5.1 billion in assets from San Antonio, Texas.

  A closely watched measure of inflation eased last month, an encouraging sign for the economy after three consecutive months of uncomfortably rapid price increases.

  
  

  The Consumer Price Index climbed 3.4 percent in April, down from 3.5 percent in March, the Labor Department said Wednesday. The “core” index — which strips out volatile food and fuel prices in order to give a sense of the underlying trend — rose 3.6 percent last month, down from 3.8 percent a month earlier. It was the lowest annual increase in core inflation since early 2021.
