U.S. stocks advanced Monday, Oct. 26, 2026, as Nvidia and other technology shares extended a rebound into a second session. The Associated Press reported that the S&P 500 rose 0.7% to 7,676.77, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.3% to 52,361.58 and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.8% to 26,169.38.
Nvidia rose 2.4%, and CNBC reported that the semiconductor advance contributed to gains in the Nasdaq and S&P 500. The quantified move in the market coverage is Nvidia's gain; it does not establish the performance of semiconductor stocks broadly.
Brent crude settled at $110.74 a barrel, down 0.9%, according to the AP report. The move provided context for the session, but the cited reporting does not attribute the stock gains to the decline in Brent crude.
The 10-year Treasury yield eased to 4.98% from 5.00% late Friday, while the two-year yield rose to 4.71% from 4.69%.
By the numbers
- 2.4% - Nvidia's gain
- 0.8% - Nasdaq advance
- 4.98% - 10-year Treasury yield at the close
Yes, but: Nvidia's 2.4% gain does not measure the performance of semiconductor stocks broadly.
