U.S. stocks opened September on a sour note as bond yields climbed sharply and investor confidence wavered amid legal uncertainty. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all declined, with tech and riskier assets feeling the greatest pressure. Gold soared to new highs—rising above $3,500 per ounce—reflecting growing caution about inflation and fiscal instability. Markets are also digesting a court ruling overturning most of Trump’s tariffs, raising questions about revenue, trade policy continuity, and the Fed’s independence. Analysts anticipate heightened volatility ahead of upcoming jobs data and further legal developments.
