US Stocks Rise as Tech Rebounds

2026-08-25 20:07 By Isabela Couto 1 min. read

US stock indices closed higher on Tuesday, led by a rebound in technology stocks as lower oil prices pushed bond yields down.

The S&P 500 rose 0.3%, the Nasdaq gained 0.6%, and the Dow added 160 points.

Companies exposed to AI infrastructure recovered from losses in the previous session amid uncertainty surrounding the sector.

Expectations of potentially massive IPOs by hyperscalers investing heavily in AI infrastructure, including Anthropic and OpenAI, supported chipmakers and cloud companies.

Nvidia gained 2.2% ahead of its earnings report on Wednesday, while Microsoft rose 0.9%, Meta advanced 2%, Micron added 2.5%, and AMD jumped 4.9%.

Broader sectors also advanced as long-term Treasury yields pulled back from recent highs.

Lower oil prices, despite the latest US sanctions threat against Iran, offered some relief to credit-sensitive sectors that had been pressured by energy-driven inflation concerns.

Morgan Stanley rose 1.3%, while Goldman Sachs gained 2.2%.
