  • U.S. Stocks Slide as Oil Prices Rise and Bond Yields Climb
    May 21, 2026, 11:47 AM EDT. U.S. stocks slipped Thursday with the S&P 500 down 0.3%, marking its fourth loss in five sessions after hitting a record high. The Dow edged up 0.1%, while the Nasdaq fell 0.6%. Gains in oil prices, with Brent crude rising 2.1% to $107.26 a barrel amid Strait of Hormuz tensions, pushed Treasury yields higher. The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.60%, increasing borrowing costs that dampen stock markets and economic growth. Despite Nvidia's strong quarterly earnings and upbeat revenue forecast reflecting rapid artificial intelligence (AI) expansion, its shares declined 1.9%, signaling profit-taking. Analysts note AI stocks face valuation concerns as Nvidia's chip sales drive industry revenue. Mixed U.S. economic data showed fewer layoffs but slower growth in services, contributing to market volatility.
