Dow Jumps 600 Points as Oil, Yields, and Bond Sell-Off All Ease at Once

On August 26, 2026, the Dow rose about 600 points, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq rallying as oil prices fell, Treasury yields retreated, and a bond-market sell-off eased simultaneously. In prior 2026 sessions, declining oil alone hadn't guaranteed equity gains. Chipmakers led this recovery ahead of Nvidia's earnings — the report that has driven major index swings all year.
