<\/div>\n

US stocks rose on Wednesday as Treasury yields eased from recent multiyear highs, allowing the major indexes to recover part of their losses from a three-day losing streak. <\/p>\n

Investors also assessed higher oil prices, renewed US-Iran tensions and recent economic data for clues about inflation and Federal Reserve policy.<\/p>\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 299.37 points, or 0.56%, to close at 53,066.25. <\/p>\n

The S&P 500 rose 0.46% to 7,666.82, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.46% to 26,219.85. The small-cap Russell 2000 outperformed its larger-cap peers.<\/p>\n

Stocks rebound as Treasury yields ease<\/h2>\n

The latest gains came after the benchmark 10-year US Treasury yield reached 4.818% during the session, its highest level since November 2023. <\/p>\n

The yield later eased back toward unchanged, helping stocks recover.<\/p>\n

Bond yields in the UK, Germany and France also moved higher, while Japan’s 10-year government bond yield traded around multidecade highs. <\/p>\n

The broader global bond selloff has kept pressure on equity markets as investors assess inflation risks and rising government debt.<\/p>\n

Oil prices remained a major concern for markets. <\/p>\n

West Texas Intermediate crude futures settled nearly 1% higher at $91.01 per barrel, while Brent crude finished at $95.63, up roughly 1%.<\/p>\n

The gains followed additional US military strikes on Iran, raising concerns that the conflict could escalate and further affect energy markets. <\/p>\n

However, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said more than 17 million barrels of oil moved through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, the highest level since the war began in February.<\/p>\n

AI stocks and corporate results support markets<\/h2>\n

Technology and semiconductor stocks helped support the broader market recovery. <\/p>\n

Nvidia finished higher, while Micron and Qualcomm also advanced. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose after losing nearly one-quarter of its value since late June.<\/p>\n

Investors were also watching Broadcom ahead of its second-quarter results, which were scheduled for release after the market close.<\/p>\n

Dell shares surged <\/a>after the hardware company raised its annual profit and revenue forecasts, while Brown-Forman gained after reporting a quarterly profit beat. Uber also rose<\/a> after announcing plans to lay off about 10% of its workforce.<\/p>\n

Sector performance was mixed. Airlines, gold and silver miners, and regional banks were among the strongest-performing groups. <\/p>\n

Software and services stocks underperformed amid concerns about the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the sector.<\/p>\n

The recent market gains also reflected investors looking for opportunities among stocks and sectors that may have been oversold during the latest risk-off moves.<\/p>\n

Economic data adds to Fed uncertainty<\/h2>\n

Recent economic data provided additional signals about the US economy. <\/p>\n

ADP reported that private payroll growth was weaker than expected<\/a> in August, while new orders for core capital goods were revised lower.<\/p>\n

The softer employment and business spending data could point to some moderation in economic activity. <\/p>\n

However, investors remain focused on inflation and energy prices as the US-Iran conflict continues to affect the outlook.<\/p>\n

The market is also awaiting further economic reports later this week, including international trade data, second-quarter labor costs and productivity figures, and the services purchasing managers’ index.<\/p>\n

With Treasury yields still elevated and oil prices above $90 a barrel, investors continue to weigh inflation risks against corporate earnings and expectations for artificial intelligence-driven growth.<\/p>\n
