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%.

US Stocks Rebound on Tuesday
US stocks were higher on Tuesday, trimming losses from the previous session amid a rebound for chip producers and softer Treasury yields. The S&P 500, and the Dow were 0.5% higher, while tech lifted the Nasdaq 100 to a 0.6% gain. Companies with exposure to AI infrastructure rebounded from their aggressive losses last session as markets grappled with uncertainty in the sector. The likelihood of massive IPOs for hyperscalers that invest on infrastructure, including Anthropic and OpenAI, weighed against skepticism that AI demand will be strong enough in the near-term to justify the magnitude of capital expenditure. Also, Nvidia inched higher ahead of its earnings tomorrow. Broader sectors also gained as long-term Treasuries rebounded from their recent selloffs. US Secretary Treasury Bessent threatened to sanction banks and companies that intermediate trade with Iran, but energy price still eased after Iran responded to threats. GE Vernova and Veritiv rose more than 2%.
