Wall Street stocks fall as rising bond yields and oil prices pressure markets.
US stock indexes declined on September 1, 2026, with the Dow falling about 450 points, as the 10-year Treasury yield rose above 4.81% and oil prices approached $90 per barrel. Rising yields were attributed to inflation concerns, government deficit worries, and geopolitical tensions involving Iran. The tech-heavy Nasdaq was particularly affected, down nearly 4% from its June record high.
