Day in review
Friday, September 11, 2026 saw the three major U.S. equity indices pull back into positive territory. The S&P 500 finished 0.85 percent higher at 764.29, the Nasdaq 100 rose 0.87 percent to 714.88 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.97 percent to end at 525.79. Across the week, however, the broad market remained in the red, with the S&P 500 down 0.77 percent, the Nasdaq 100 down 0.57 percent and the Dow slipping 1.55 percent since the prior Friday’s close.
Technology led sector gains with a 1.32 percent rise, followed by Industrials up 1.07 percent and Communication services gaining 0.99 percent. Utilities were the weakest sector, falling 0.31 percent, while Healthcare slipped 0.18 percent and Energy lagged with a modest 0.32 percent gain. Notable equity moves included Amazon advancing 1.94 percent, Alphabet up 1.77 percent and Apple climbing 1.75 percent. The volatility index fell 4.29 percent, and the uranium market declined 3.27 percent. The VIX exchange‑traded note mirrored the broader volatility drop at –4.29 percent, and the crude‑oil fund slipped 2.20 percent. Treasury yields edged higher, with the 10‑year Treasury at 4.97 percent, up three basis points, while WTI crude futures fell to $99.99, a 2.4 percent drop from the prior close. The CNN Fear & Greed Index remained at 33, indicating continued market fear.
Earnings activity helped power the rally. America’s Car‑Mart surged after its results, while Alliance Entertainment Holding and Tsakos Energy Navigation also rose on earnings releases. Oracle, which had reported the day before, fell 1.7 percent following its earnings report. Other companies reporting on the day included Rent the Runway, Hooker Furnishings, AnaptysBio and MoneyHero Limited, though their individual price impacts were modest. The U.S. consumer‑price index was released during the session, but the report did not provide a specific reading in the available summary.
The week closed with the S&P 500 down 0.8 percent, the Nasdaq 100 down 0.6 percent and the Dow Jones down 1.6 percent, a performance shaped by Middle‑East tensions and rising oil prices. With the Fed’s rate decision slated for Wednesday, September 16, market attention shifted to that meeting. The next trading day was scheduled for Monday, September 14, when Cellectis was set to host a conference call and webcast to provide a business update.

Where the week stood at the close
The week ended with the S&P 500 down 0.8%, the Nasdaq 100 down 0.6%, and the Dow Jones down 1.6% from the prior Friday's close, driven by rising Mideast tensions and surging oil prices. The US PPI and CPI inflation reports were released, and several companies reported earnings, including Oracle, Adobe, and Copart. Stocks closed higher on Friday as August inflation data cemented bets on a Fed rate hike. The next trading session is Monday, September 14, and Cellectis is scheduled to host a conference call and webcast on that day to provide a business update.
