Nasdaq Gains 0.39% as AI Optimism Offsets Inflation Fears; Treasury Yields Hit Multi-Year Highs
IXIC sits 28% above its 52-week low of $20,690.249.
Summary
The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.39% to 26,522.55, bucking a mixed session where the Dow fell 0.18% and the S&P 500 added 0.17%. AI optimism offset inflation and Middle East war concerns. Treasury yields climbed sharply: the 2-year hit 4.741%, its highest since July 2024, and the 10-year reached 4.995%, near 19-year highs. Oil fell 1.6% to $100.30 as traders awaited Saudi export restoration plans. This follows the Fed's quarter-point rate hike on September 16 and signals continued upward pressure on yields, which could weigh on growth stocks.
