Here's Why eBay, GameStop And Shopify Shares Are Rising

Shares of several companies in the retail & apparel sector, including eBay Inc EBAY, GameStop Corp. GME and Shopify Inc SHOP, are trading higher amid overall market strength following a lighter-than-expected U.S. PPI report.

USA PPI month-over-month for Feb was 0.800% vs the 0.900% consensus estimate. The prior reading was 1.000%.

Notably, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 40% of the February increase in prices for final demand goods can be attributed to the index for gasoline, which rose 14.8%. Prices for diesel fuel, electric power, jet fuel, motor vehicles and equipment and dairy products also advanced.
