The three major indices on the New York Stock Exchange closed uniformly higher, buoyed by a rebound in semiconductor stocks and a decline in U.S. Treasury yields. As the burden of long-term interest rates that had recently weighed on the market eased, buying poured into tech stocks, including Nvidia, sending the Nasdaq to a relatively strong performance.

[Closing Figures for the Three Major Indices] In the New York market (morning of the 26th, Korea time), the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished at 53,577.40, up 160.24 points (0.30%) from the previous session. The Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 closed at 7,677.28, up 24.40 points (0.32%), while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite ended the session at 26,151.30, up 171.11 points (0.66%).

[Semiconductor and AI Stock Rebound Led the Way] Semiconductor and artificial intelligence (AI)-related stocks staged a notable rebound in the market. In particular, Nvidia rose about 2%, breaking away from its recent downward trend. Bargain hunting also flowed into some semiconductor stocks such as Micron, lifting overall investor sentiment toward tech shares.

[Treasury Yields and Oil Prices Both Fall, Offering Relief] Falling Treasury yields also contributed to the market's rise. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield came down to the 4.63% level. Lower long-term rates can relatively ease valuation pressures on tech and growth stocks, which are sensitive to the present value of future earnings, which is interpreted as reviving buying, centered on the Nasdaq.

Falling international oil prices also reduced market burdens. While there had been concerns that rising oil prices could rekindle inflationary pressure, oil prices retreated sharply on the day, partially easing wariness about inflation and rising interest rates.

[Focus Ahead: Nvidia Earnings and U.S. Inflation Indicators] However, investors' caution has not fully disappeared. Market attention is shifting to Nvidia's earnings release and key U.S. inflation indicators. In particular, Nvidia's results and outlook are expected to be a variable in gauging not only the direction of recently volatile AI and semiconductor stocks but also tech stocks overall.
