what happened
U.S. equities finished mixed on Tuesday, according to Dow Jones Newswires. Strong quarterly results largely offset investor unease about how long the artificial-intelligence boom can last, given how much of it is financed with debt. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 529.85 points, or 1.02%, to 52495.88. The S&P 500 added 21.84 points, or 0.28%, to 7712.57, while the Nasdaq Composite slipped 6.07 points, or 0.02%, to 26424.82.
In the bond market, Treasury yields mostly declined. The 10-year note yield dropped 0.019 percentage point to 5.116%, and the 30-year bond yield fell 0.047 point to 5.425%. The two-year yield, the most sensitive to monetary policy expectations, moved the other way, climbing 0.026 point to 4.785%. A smaller decline in oil prices eased inflation expectations.
The dollar weakened against a basket of major currencies after unrest in France calmed down. Gold futures dropped $16.60, or 0.4%, to $4122.40 per troy ounce.
why it matters
Solid earnings and steadier bonds support stocks, but worries about debt-funded AI projects keep investors from buying aggressively. Because oil feeds into inflation expectations, further swings in crude could again move Treasury yields and the dollar.
