The Nasdaq Composite gained more than 0.7% to a record high of 27,403.57 on Monday.

The S&P 500 added around 0.4%, while the Dow Jones slipped nearly 0.1%, or about 40 points.

Technology and artificial-intelligence-linked stocks led the advance, with SpaceX rising roughly 5%, Meta gaining more than 2%, Microsoft adding over 1%, and Nvidia climbing more than 1%.

Tesla also advanced close to 2%.

The gains came with higher Treasury yields, with the 10-year yield up about 5 basis points at 5.33% and the 30-year yield rising 7 basis points to 5.684%.

Intel moved in the opposite direction, falling more than 1.5% following reports of potential cooperation between Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and Elon Musk’s Terafab initiative.

Economic data showed US services activity expanded at a 54.9% pace in September, slightly slower than in August but broadly matching expectations.

US Stocks Mixed as Treasury Yields Stay Elevated
US equities traded mixed on Monday as investors remained cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting later this week. The S&P 500 gained 0.2%, and the Nasdaq-100 advanced 0.3%, while the Dow Jones declined by more than 100 points. Elevated Treasury yields remained a key concern, with the 10-year yield reaching its highest level in more than two decades and raising questions about the impact of higher borrowing costs on equity valuations. Individual technology stocks also drove notable moves. Intel fell almost 2% following reports that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. may be discussing a potential collaboration with Elon Musk’s Terafab initiative, which Intel joined in April. In contrast, Cerebras Systems surged after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman described the company as a close partner and highlighted the two firms’ work together on high-speed computing.
