U.S. stocks recovered Tuesday as lower Treasury yields and oil prices eased some of the pressure that had weighed on markets at the start of the week. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.4%, the S&P 500 gained 0.1% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 32 points, or 0.1%, with technology shares leading the move. AMD rose 1% after announcing the acquisition of AI firm World Labs, while Nvidia gained 0.7% and Meta Platforms added 1.1%. The 10-year Treasury yield declined more than 3 basis points to 5.209%, and the 30-year yield fell about 2 basis points to 5.54%. Even after the retreat, the 10-year yield remained near its highest level since 2007, while the 30-year yield stayed close to levels last seen in 2004. Brent crude fell more than 1% to about $103.75 a barrel, and West Texas Intermediate dropped 1.8% to $90.85. The gains followed a difficult Monday, when the Dow lost more than 300 points and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell 0.8% and 0.9%, respectively. Surging oil prices have prompted central banks to consider additional rate increases, raising borrowing costs for businesses and households. The Reserve Bank of Australia lifted its policy rate to a 15-year high Tuesday. The dollar rose 1.5% against a basket of currencies in September after declining for the previous two months. Investors were awaiting September U.S. consumer-confidence data and the August job-openings and labor-turnover survey, both of which analysts said could influence the bond market. Mark Haefele, chief investment officer of UBS Global Wealth Management, advised investors to stay positioned for further equity gains while maintaining diversification. He said income-focused investors may favor short-maturity bonds to reduce duration risk, while investors able to tolerate volatility may find tactical opportunities in medium- to long-duration, high-quality bonds.
