How major US stock indexes fared Thursday 9/17/2026
U.S. stocks rose and recovered most of their losses for the week. Falling oil prices and easing pressure from the bond market on Thursday helped Wall Street reverse many of its moves from the prior day, when the Federal Reserve hiked its main interest rate for the first time in years and suggested more may be on the way. The S&P 500 climbed 1.1%, its second rise in the last nine days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.6%, and the Nasdaq composite jumped 1.7%.
The price of Brent crude fell 1%. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.93%.
