NY Dow falls 374 dollars on the 31st as rising oil prices and higher interest rates weigh on U.S. stocks

Tue Sep 1, 2026 8:12 am JST Market

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 374.09 points from Friday's close to 53,185.90 on Aug. 31 for a second straight decline. Rising U.S. crude oil futures driven by escalating Middle East tensions, combined with higher U.S. long-term interest rates on early rate-hike expectations, weighed on equities.

Pinterest and Aon declined, Howmet Aerospace lost ground, and PG&E tumbled. On the upside, Chevron and Deere & Company held firm, while SLB advanced.

The Nasdaq Composite Index also fell for a second straight session, dropping 31.54 points to 26,370.88. Alphabet and Amazon.com softened, while Take-Two Interactive Software fell sharply. In contrast, Tesla and SanDisk advanced, while Qualcomm and CrowdStrike Holdings drew buying.
