U.S. Stocks Close Little Changed as Trade Optimism Offsets Yield Pressure

Wall Street closed little changed on Thursday, pausing after two straight days of sharp yield-driven selling. The S&P 500 slipped 1.90 points, or 0.02%, to 7,704.13. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 161.61 points, or 0.31%, to 51,349.98. The Nasdaq Composite eked out a small gain, adding 3.34 points, or 0.01%, to close at 26,939.37, as investors balanced renewed trade optimism against a bond market that remains under pressure.

Treasury Yields Hold Near 19-Year Highs as Trump-Xi Summit Offers Relief

The session's tug-of-war centered on the 10-year Treasury yield, which held near 5.1%, its highest level since 2007, as strong economic data continued to point to a resilient economy and sticky inflation, keeping alive expectations that the Federal Reserve may need to raise rates further. Rising oil prices, with WTI crude pushing toward $94 a barrel, added to the pressure on stocks. Offsetting some of that weight was optimism around President Trump's summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, where Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's two-month extension of the U.S.-China trade truce and hopes for eased tariffs on agricultural and consumer goods helped calm nerves after this week's bond-market turbulence.

Notable Movers

The day's biggest moves were company-specific. MGM Resorts International sank roughly 10% after Barry Diller's People Inc. withdrew its $18 billion, $48.30-a-share buyout proposal for the casino operator. Oracle shares fell about 4-6% after the company issued a "force majeure" notice shielding itself from delays on its troubled, roughly $165 billion "Project Jupiter" AI data center in New Mexico, reviving worries about AI infrastructure spending. IT distributor TD Synnex dropped around 13% in a sell-the-news reaction to its latest earnings. On the upside, Communication Services, Energy, and Health Care were among the stronger-performing sectors of the session.
