Nasdaq rose 1.11% to 26,430.89 and the S&P 500 gained 0.41% in a narrow, four-sector rebound as the 10-year yield climbed to 5.15%, Europe fell about 1% on French unrest and a Barclays probe, and WTI settled at $103.66.
The Global Close: October 16, 2026 — Oil tops $100 as AI credit fears cap a brutal tech week
Nasdaq fell 2.14% Friday and about 4.5% on the week as CoreWeave slid 12% on AI debt fears, while WTI settled above $100 at $101.41 and Brent at $109.86. Europe and Asia rose; the 10-year yield held at 5.097%.
The Global Close: October 15, 2026 — Bonds rally on hot inflation as AI rout goes global
September PPI rose 1.3% in the month, yet the 10-year Treasury yield fell 10 basis points in its biggest drop in over a year as an AI credit scare — CoreWeave CDS near 1,200bp, KOSPI down 7.57% — drove a global rotation out of chips and into bonds, health care and the Dow (+1.08%).
