Market Close – Thursday, October 15, 2026

Dow Jones Industrial Average: 52,177.69 (+1.08%)
S&P 500: 7,744.06 (+0.33%, +25.12)
Nasdaq Composite: 26,713.03 (+0.08%, +20.16)
Russell 2000: 2,767.27 (+1.38%)

U.S. stocks recovered Thursday as Treasury yields tumbled and chip stocks pared losses after a two-day, AI-driven sell-off fueled by worries over debt-financed data-center spending. The Dow rose nearly 600 points, the S&P 500 erased early losses, and the Nasdaq climbed back from a decline of more than 1% to finish slightly higher.

What Drove the Market

Yields sink: Investors fled to Treasuries, pushing the 10-year yield down to about 5.09%. The 10- and 30-year yields posted their biggest one-day drops since February.

Hot wholesale inflation: The September Producer Price Index rose 6.3% from a year earlier — the fastest annual pace since December 2022 — and 1.3% for the month, driven by soaring fuel costs. The report revived questions about the Federal Reserve's next move.

Rotation out of AI: Money moved out of AI names and into homebuilders, retailers and healthcare. Apple's market value crossed $5 trillion for the second time as investors treated it as a haven from the chip rout.

Notable Movers

CoreWeave (CRWV) +5.9% to $69.69, reversing an early ~10% drop after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said he was "optimistic" about the data-center operator, a day after its 15% plunge. The cost of insuring its debt against default still hit a record.
Lennar (LEN) +5%+, leading homebuilders higher on falling yields.
Nike (NKE), Lululemon (LULU) about +5%, leading an apparel and retail rally; the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT) gained more than 3%.
Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) -2% despite record profit, after South Korea's KOSPI fell about 7% overnight.
Rocket Lab (RKLB) -6.6% to $55.25 after pushing its Neutron rocket debut into 2027.
Vertiv (VRT) -6%+, as AI-infrastructure suppliers lagged even while hyperscalers held steady.
Nvidia (NVDA) -1.8% to $217.23.
