US Stocks Trim Gains

2026-03-30 17:08 By Andre Joaquim 1 min. read

US stocks indices were mixed on Monday as a rebound in Treasury securities supported traditional sectors of the economy, while companies in the computing sector underperformed.

The Dow jumped 0.6% and the S&P 500 inched higher, while the tech heavy Nasdaq 100 was below the flatline.

Crude oil and product prices rose further after Houthi attacks threatened exports from the Red Sea, while President Trump delivered more threats to Iran should a deal not be reached soon.

Still, bond yields eased from peaks in a sign that growth concerns from energy shortages are being considered in tandem with inflationary risks.

Banks and financial services providers were higher amid the rebound for bonds, with JPMorgan, American Express, and Blackstone rising between 3% and 1%.

On the other hand, chip producers sank to extend last week's losses after research from Alphabet stoked optimism on compute-efficient AI models.

Micron, Lan Research, and Western Digital sank near 7%.

US Stocks Kick Off Week Higher
US equities rose on Monday after undergoing volatility last week as markets reconsidered the space on the speculative AI trade and an improving macroeconomic backdrop. The Nasdaq 100 gained 1%, the S&P 500 added 0.7% and the Dow rose 150 points to test its record above 52,000. Oil and fuel prices broadly maintained the retreat that triggered a plunge in Treasury yields last week, improving credit conditions for the US corporate sector. In the meantime, markets repivoted to long positions on the AI trade, both in the hyperscale side and the chip-producer side, with Nvidia, Intel, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta adding around 2%. Both subsectors were volatile last week as strong outlooks from semiconductor manufacturers clashed against cash-raising at levels that are increasingly difficult to reason, led by fresh debt issuance by SpaceX. Meanwhile, Comcast surged over 20% as it will spin-off NBCUniversal into a new media firm.
