US Stocks Rebound as Tech Rallies Following Fed Rate Hike
The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq ended higher on September 17, 2026, recovering from a selloff triggered by a Federal Reserve rate hike. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq recorded their largest gains in six weeks. Market recovery was supported by easing oil prices and a decline in long-end Treasury yields. Technology shares led the rally, with significant gains seen in companies including Intel, AMD, and Marvell Technology. While Wall Street rebounded, Asian markets showed mixed results following the Fed's decision.
Why it matters
The Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates initially sparked a market selloff and caused Wall Street to slip. This recovery indicates a shift in investor sentiment as softening oil and bond yields offset the pressure of higher borrowing costs.
