June 11 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes rose on

Wednesday, as a tame inflation report calmed investor concerns

around tariff-driven price pressures while markets awaited more

details on Sino-U.S. trade talks.

Data showed consumer prices increased only marginally in

May, but inflation is expected to accelerate in the coming

months due to the Trump administration's import tariffs.

Annually, headline inflation stood at 2.4%, lower than the

2.5% rise estimated by economists polled by Reuters.

"There'll probably be some impact of tariffs on inflation,

but it will play out over months and quarters... it won't be a

concentrated shock," said David Russell, global head of market

strategy at TradeStation.

Traders are pricing in 48 basis points of interest rate cuts

by year-end, per data compiled by LSEG. They are penciling in a

55% chance of a 25 bps cut in September, according to the CME

Group's FedWatch tool.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq traded near record levels, with the

S&P 500 about 1.4% below all-time highs touched in February, and

the Nasdaq about 2% below its record peaks reached in December.

A day after officials from Washington and Beijing agreed on

a framework to put their tariff truce back on track, President

Donald Trump said the U.S. deal with China was done, with

Beijing to supply magnets and rare earth minerals.

According to a White House official, the agreement with

China allows the U.S. to charge a 55% tariff on imported Chinese

goods, including a 10% baseline "reciprocal" tariff, a 20%

tariff for fentanyl trafficking and a 25% tariff reflecting

pre-existing tariffs. China will charge a 10% tariff on U.S.

imports, the official said.

Investors are awaiting more details from the two-day meeting

and hoping for a lasting resolution to the trade tensions that

have kept global markets on edge for much of the year.

The U.S. stock market has rallied in recent weeks,

recovering from a slump in April sparked by Trump's "Liberation

Day" tariffs.

At 11:24 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average

rose 165.55 points, or 0.39%, to 43,032.42, the S&P 500

gained 16.18 points, or 0.27%, to 6,054.99 and the Nasdaq

Composite gained 68.54 points, or 0.35%, to 19,783.53.

Nine of the 11 major S&P 500 sub-sectors rose, led by a 0.4%

gain in information technology shares.

Among stocks, Tesla advanced nearly 2% as signs of

a thaw in hostilities between CEO Elon Musk and Trump emerged

following an abrupt rift that had roiled the electric-vehicle

maker's shares.

Software development platform provider GitLab ( GTLB ) lost

nearly 9% after reporting quarterly results.

Shares of videogame retailer GameStop ( GME ) fell 3.9%

after it reported a decline in first-quarter revenue.

Intel ( INTC ) shares fell 5.2%, after gaining 7.8% in the

previous session.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 2.55-to-1

ratio on the NYSE and by a 1.58-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.

The S&P 500 posted 9 new 52-week highs and 2 new lows while

the Nasdaq Composite recorded 67 new highs and 24 new lows.
