US Stocks Climb Mid-Week

2026-03-25 20:00 By Felipe Alarcon 1 min. read

The Dow rose 0.9%, the S&P 500 climbed 0.7%, and the Nasdaq 100 advanced 0.8% on Wednesday as emerging reports of a 15-point US peace proposal delivered to Tehran fueled hopes for a diplomatic end to the Middle East conflict.

This rebound was supported by a drop in WTI crude oil prices and tumbling Treasury yields which eased inflation concerns and encouraged risk-taking across most equity sectors.

Technology shares provided momentum with Nvidia rising 2% and semiconductor peers AMD and Intel jumping over 7% as investors favored growth.

Financials and industrials also moved higher with JPMorgan adding 1.1% and GE Aerospace gaining 2.1% amid a softer inflation outlook.

In contrast energy producers weighed on the market as lower oil prices caused Exxon Mobil and Chevron to slip.

Micron Technology also bucked the trend falling 3.4% for its fifth consecutive losing session as investors reassessed capital expenditure following recent earnings.
