S&P 500 Tops 7,830 as Bond Yields Cool

The S&P 500 — the index tracking 500 large U.S. companies — rose about 0.7% in early trading Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026, to above 7,830 intraday, the Wall Street Journal reported. Reuters linked the record to Treasury yields — government borrowing rates — easing from multi-year highs, which can lower mortgages and loan rates and support stock values.
