Wall Street Loses $1 Trillion in Single Session<\/h2>\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.01%<\/a> to close at 45,960.11. The S&P 500 dropped 1.74%<\/a> to 6,477.16. The Nasdaq Composite<\/a> led the decline, shedding 2.38% to close at 21,408.08. All three indices reversed gains posted Wednesday, when the Dow gained 0.66%, the S&P 500 rose 0.54%, and the Nasdaq added 0.77%.<\/p>\n

The CBOE Volatility<\/span> Index, widely tracked as Wall Street\u2019s fear gauge, climbed to 27.44<\/a> \u2014 a level that signals traders are pricing in further turbulence.<\/p>\n

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil jumped 2.2% to approximately $92.16<\/a> per barrel. The move reflects market concern over potential supply disruptions tied to the U.S.-Iran conflict now entering its fifth week. Brent crude is back at the $100 line<\/a>, up 2.8% during today\u2019s trading session.<\/p>\n

Negative headlines<\/a> around Google\u2019s artificial intelligence (AI) operations added to selling pressure in the tech and semiconductor sectors. Treasury yields<\/a> moved higher across the curve. The 2-year yield rose to 3.96%, the 10-year climbed to 4.42%, and the 30-year reached 4.93%.<\/p>\n

Yields rising in tandem with equity losses suggest investors are pricing in inflation<\/span> and energy-linked growth risks rather than seeking safety in government bonds. Gold<\/span> fell approximately 3% to around $4,392<\/a> per ounce. Silver<\/a> dropped between 4% and 6% to approximately $68.35 per ounce. Both metals sold off despite the geopolitical backdrop \u2014 a move analysts attributed to profit-taking and a stronger U.S. dollar<\/a>.<\/p>\n
