  1. Dow and S&P 500 Rise as Treasury Yields Sink

    The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 ended higher on October 15, 2026, while the Nasdaq trimmed its losses. Gains were driven by a drop in Treasury yields, which offset a continuing semiconductor sell-off and wobbling enthusiasm for AI stocks. Traders shifted focus from artificial intelligence toward healthcare sectors. While the Dow saw significant gains, the broader market remained volatile due to a deepening global tech selloff and specific growth concerns surrounding Anthropic.
