The U.S. stock market experienced notable declines today. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by about 0.82% to approximately 45,172, down around 372 points. The broader S&P 500 fell roughly 1%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite slid about 1.3% to 1.5%, reflecting a downtrend especially in technology stocks.
This sell-off was driven by a surge in Treasury yields, with the 10-year Treasury yield climbing to around 4.28% and the 30-year yield nearing 5%, as well as tariff uncertainties and concerns about U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate policies. Big tech stocks such as Alphabet and Amazon saw losses of more than 2%, contributing to the Nasdaq’s drop.

Investors are cautious ahead of key economic reports, including a critical August jobs report later this week, which will influence expectations for potential Fed interest rate cuts. September historically is a challenging month for equities, and the current environment is marked by geopolitical uncertainties, tariff shocks, and rising borrowing costs.
The prospects for Trump’s signature tariffs also look uncertain. An appeals court struck down the administration’s “reciprocal” levies late last week, setting the stage for the case to head to the Supreme Court. The ruling also fueled worries in the U.S. bond market, as it could result in lower tariff revenues and a wider deficit, analysts said.

Gold prices reached a record high, trading near $3,500 per ounce. Spot gold hit an all-time high of approximately $3,508.50 during the session, with futures also reaching around $3,590.40 an ounce in New York. This surge is attributed to expectations of a U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cut and growing economic uncertainty, which have increased demand for the precious metal as a safe-haven asset.
Silver prices on the same day were around $41.66 per ounce, showing a gain of about 3.6% from the previous day, with a day range between roughly $40.56 and $41.99 per ounce.
