Stocks Drop Sixth Time in Seven Sessions as Treasury Yields Hit 2007 Levels and Oil Prices Rise
On September 15, 2026, U.S. stock indexes closed lower for the sixth time in seven sessions amid rising Treasury yields and oil prices. The Nasdaq Composite fell 0.8%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.6%, and the S&P 500 declined by 0.5%. Consumer discretionary shares led sector declines, while the 10-year Treasury yield reached a high of over 5.04%—its highest level since 2007 before settling near 5.00%. Traders expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates at its two-day policy meeting. Crypto-related stocks such as Robinhood, Coinbase, and MSTR fell between 3.5% and 11%, coinciding with a drop in Bitcoin prices below $75,900 after failed Senate progress on the Clarity Act. Oil prices rose over 4% due to Houthi rebel attacks in Yemen affecting Saudi Arabia’s pipeline operations. The U.S. dollar index gained ground while gold futures declined slightly.
