How major US stock indexes fared Thursday 6/4/2026

Audio By Carbonatix

Wall Street rallied after falling oil prices and yields in the bond market eased the pressure on U.S. stocks.

The S&P 500 rose 0.4% Thursday for its 10th gain in the last 11 days, a day after dropping from its all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average soared 1.7% to a record, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.1%.

Banks and small companies helped lead the way after oil prices fell close to 3% and Treasury yields dipped. They more than made up for weakness among some influential AI stocks, which sank despite a strong profit report from Broadcom.

The S&P 500 rose 30.63 points, or 0.4%, to 7,584.31.
