US stocks recover as falling Treasury yields ease an AI-driven semiconductor sell-off
US stocks partly recovered after a two-day technology sell-off, as a sharp fall in Treasury yields helped lift the Dow and S&P 500. Semiconductor shares pared earlier losses, although Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing still declined despite reporting record profit and beating estimates. Investors also focused on the debt-heavy balance sheet of CoreWeave, an Nvidia-backed cloud provider, while faster wholesale-price growth raised questions about the Federal Reserve’s next move. The excerpt provides market context but not a full account of the session’s causes or breadth.
