Wall Street indices closed in positive territory on Tuesday following a volatile trading session, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining approximately 0.9% and the S&P 500 adding 0.2%. The Nasdaq Composite finished the day flat. The recovery was broad-based, with nearly 400 S&P 500 stocks ending in the green, and a notable rebound in chip stocks after a weak opening.
However, Israeli companies listed on U.S. exchanges experienced mixed results. Tower Semiconductor saw a significant decline, falling about 8% on the Nasdaq and continuing a downward trend that has seen its stock lose nearly 35% in the past two weeks from a high of $270. In contrast, other Israeli firms like monday.com, Pagaya Technologies, and Similarweb registered gains.
General Motors (GM) provided a case study in how strong financial results do not always translate to stock price increases. The automaker reported revenues of $50 billion, a 2.9% year-over-year increase and above analyst expectations, with adjusted earnings per share also exceeding forecasts. Despite a 22% rise in adjusted operating profit and announcing a $20 billion share buyback program, the stock fell after the company narrowed its annual profit forecast range instead of raising it.
Artificial intelligence-related stocks faced challenges, with CoreWeave initially losing 4% amid concerns about massive investments in AI infrastructure, though it later recovered. This pressure stemmed partly from the 32% drop of South Korean AI infrastructure firm Elice on its first day of trading in Seoul.
Market sentiment was also influenced by falling oil prices, with Brent crude closing below $109 per barrel amid reports of ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations, and a decrease in U.S. bond yields. Yields on 10-year, 30-year, and 2-year Treasury notes all declined. Additionally, weak U.S. housing data showed a 5.2% decrease in housing starts for September compared to August.
