New York Stock Exchange closed the day with gains

At the closing, the Dow Jones index gained more than 250 points and increased by 0.49 percent to 51,521.28 points.

The S&P 500 index increased by 0.58 percent to 7,818.93 points, and the Nasdaq index increased by 0.45 percent to 27,599.79 points. S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices closed at record levels.

While the course of oil prices and bond interest rates were in the focus of investors, a positive course was observed in the stock markets.

While oil prices declined as G7 countries released oil from their strategic reserves to the market, easing supply concerns, they stabilized above the $100 level during the day.

Bond interest rates, which have been rising in recent weeks due to concerns that high energy costs may increase inflationary pressures, decreased slightly.

The interest rate on the US 10-year Treasury bond was traded at 5.28 percent and the 30-year bond rate was traded at 5.65 percent. The interest rates on both bonds had reached their highest levels since 2002 at the beginning of the week.

The rise in technology stocks also supported the positive trend in the markets.

While the rise in the shares of chip manufacturers stood out, the shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) gained 2.8 percent, the shares of Broadcom gained 3.7 percent and the shares of Marvell Technology gained 5.8 percent.

AMD Chief Executive Lisa Su's announcement that the company plans to significantly increase chip supply in 2027 in the face of rapidly growing demand for artificial intelligence supported the rise in chip stocks.

On the other hand, employment data released last week in the USA, indicating a cooling in the labor market, strengthened the expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) would not increase interest rates this month.

While the expectation in money markets that the Fed will keep the policy rate constant this month is at 80 percent, more clues about the future of monetary policy will be sought in the minutes of the bank's meeting to be published on Wednesday.

While the statements of Fed officials were also followed, Kansas City Fed President Jeff Schmid stated that the bank should take more steps to reduce inflation.

San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly stated that if the shocks that trigger inflation, such as tariffs, the rise in oil prices resulting from the conflict in the Middle East and artificial intelligence, are temporary, there may not be a need for further interest rate increases.

On the macroeconomic data side, the US's foreign trade deficit increased by 13.7 percent on a monthly basis in August, reaching 105.6 billion dollars, reaching its highest level in 17 months.
