Stock Market Today: Dow, Nasdaq Finish In The Red; AI Play Offers Entry
Wall Street indices experienced downward pressure, with the Dow posting back-to-back losses as a continued Treasury selloff pushed yields higher. The 30-year Treasury yield reached its highest level since 2002 before pressure on U.S. Treasurys later eased. Markets weighed falling consumer confidence against tech optimism, while the S&P 500 remained relatively flat. Internationally, Asian markets saw sharp declines, as Indian stock markets suffered a steep drop with the Sensex plunging 1,124.02 points, or 1.52 per cent, to close at 72,771.72, marking its lowest closing level since March 30, 2026.
