S&P Makes Small Gains on Bond Peaks

September 02,2026 10:14 AM EST

The S&P 500 was relatively unchanged on Wednesday, pressured by elevated bond yields, as traders worried about the impact of rising oil prices on inflation.

The Dow Jones Industrials reasserted themselves 315.54 points to open Wednesday at 53,082.42, boosted by a rise in shares of healthcare stocks such as Johnson & Johnson, Merck and Amgen.

The much-broader index regained 17.92 points to 7,649.39.

The NASDAQ Composite edged higher 11.08 points to 26,110.85.

The benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note yield hit a high of 4.814% on the day, a level not seen since November 2023. Yields in the U.K., Germany and France also rose. In Japan, the 10-year government yield traded around multi-decade highs.

The moves higher in oil come as the U.S. launched more military strikes on Iran, raising concern that the conflict could escalate once more.

Prices for the 10-year Treasury were static, keeping yields at 4.79%. Treasury prices and yields move in opposite directions.

Oil prices settled 64 cents to $89.58 U.S. a barrel.

Gold prices brightened $24.10 to $4,422.10 U.S. an ounce.
