  1. US Stocks Rally on Tech Gains and Falling Treasury Yields

    The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq ended sharply higher on September 3, 2026, driven by a rally in Big Tech and software stocks. Market gains followed remarks from Fed Governor Waller, which contributed to a decline in Treasury yields. This surge marked the second consecutive day of higher closes for the markets, despite ongoing tensions involving Iran and cautious sentiment regarding interest rates. While tech led the recovery, Broadcom experienced a dip following its earnings report.

    Why it matters

    Treasury yields often move inversely to tech stocks because lower rates reduce the discount rate for future earnings. The market is currently balancing geopolitical instability in Iran against domestic economic indicators and Federal Reserve policy.
