U.S. stock market closed today (September 13, 2026, Sunday). Here are the key news takeaways around last Friday’s close (September 11) and over the weekend:
Three major indexes rise and end a four-day losing streak
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.98% to 52,573.29; the S&P 500 rose 0.86% to 7,656.98; the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.96% to 26,333.04. This week, the three indexes are still down by about 1.6%, 0.8%, and 0.7%, respectively.
Inflation data strengthens expectations of further rate hikes
August CPI rose 0.4% month-over-month (July: 0.1%) and 3.4% year-over-year. Core CPI rose 0.3% month-over-month (forecast: 0.2%) and 2.4% year-over-year. Markets estimate the probability that the Federal Reserve will raise rates by 25 basis points at the FOMC meeting on September 15–16 has increased to about 87%–90%. The decision will be released at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 16.
Oil prices fall, but geopolitical risks remain
Brent crude fell about 2.8% on Friday to settle at $104.61 per barrel; WTI fell about 2.4% to around $100. Previously, due to escalation of the U.S.-Iran conflict (shipping disruption through the Strait of Hormuz and increased attacks), oil prices had surged this week and broke above $100. The conflict has been ongoing for about seven months and remains a major source of uncertainty for the market.
Individual stocks and sector highlights
Dell Technologies jumped about 12%, hitting a record intraday closing high, driven by strong demand for AI servers.
HP Enterprise (HPE) rose about 12%, and HP rose about 8.4%, boosted by Oracle’s earnings report that beat expectations (Oracle itself fell about 1.8%).
Most large-cap tech stocks rose (Apple and Google up more than 1%); the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose about 1.8%.
Other data
The preliminary University of Michigan September consumer sentiment index fell to 47.8 (August: 51.7), the second-lowest in history. One-year inflation expectations rose to 4.6%. Consumers are concerned about oil prices and trade tensions.
Next week’s focus will be the Federal Reserve’s rate decision and the dot plot. Weekend futures were largely steady near Friday’s close. The market continues to watch for further impacts of the Middle East situation on oil prices and inflation.
