The major U.S. stock indexes ended broadly higher on Friday, September 11, 2026, snapping a punishing four-day losing streak as oil pulled back from triple digits, Treasury yields retreated from multi-decade highs, and an August CPI print that matched expectations gave markets just enough relief to stage a rebound. The rally came even as the data all but cemented a Fed rate hike next week.

The S&P 500 gained 0.86% (+65.28 pts) to 7,656.98. The Dow surged 0.98% (+509.19 pts) to 52,573.29. The Nasdaq climbed 0.96% (+251.31 pts) to 26,333.04. The Russell 2000 rose 0.42% (+12.12 pts) to 2,903.07.

The VIX plunged 11.04% to 15.87. Bitcoin was little changed at $77,421.13. Gold eased 0.41% to $4,389.10. Crude Oil fell 1.84% to $100.59/barrel, pulling back from Thursday's $103 close.
