Regular Session in Which the Dow Fell 628.18 Points

All figures below are based on U.S. regular-session closing data for September 8, 2026. Index levels and changes from the previous day are in points, and percentage changes are in %.

Dow Jones 52,786.07 -628.18 (-1.18%)
Russell 2000 2,960.20 -15.45 (-0.52%)

According to S&P 500 closing data, the S&P 500 closed at 7,673.52 points on September 8, 2026, down 45.08 points (0.58%) from the previous trading day. It opened at 7,717.81 points, reached an intraday high of 7,717.81 points and an intraday low of 7,666.99 points, with volume of 2,903,497,000 shares.

Based on Dow Jones closing data, the Dow Jones closed at 52,786.07 points on September 8, 2026, down 628.18 points (1.18%).

While the four indexes’ closing values moved in the same direction, closing changes alone cannot identify the cause of the declines.

Tesla Rises While Nvidia and Micron Fall More Than the Indexes

According to Tesla closing data, Tesla closed the regular session on September 8, 2026, at $368.16, up $14.08 (3.98%). It opened at $357.10, reached an intraday high of $370.00 and a low of $355.80, with volume of 50,452,563 shares. This was the largest closing gain among the tracked stocks and moved in the opposite direction of the Nasdaq Composite’s 0.32% decline on the same trading day. Earlier analysis is available through the Tesla stock hub.

By contrast, Nvidia closing data showed a September 8, 2026 close of $225.73, down $4.63 (2.01%). Nvidia’s volume was 118,354,258 shares, and it recorded the largest decline among the tracked stocks. Micron also closed at $1,000.26, down $16.33 (1.61%), with volume of 26,248,193 shares. Earlier analysis for each stock is available at the Nvidia hub and Micron hub.

Apple closed at $316.22 on September 8, 2026, down $3.75 (1.17%), while Microsoft closed at $493.95, down $5.75 (1.15%). The Apple closing data and stock hub and Microsoft closing data and stock hub provide historical records for both stocks. Amazon fell $1.54 (0.60%) to $256.97, and Meta declined $3.29 (0.53%) to $613.48, while Alphabet was nearly flat at $338.36, down $0.10 (0.03%).

Yields, Oil Prices, and Reported Context Need to Be Kept Separate

Based on September 8, 2026 closing data, the VIX rose 0.46 points (3.01%) to 15.76 points. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield increased 0.022 percentage points to 4.806%, while WTI crude oil closed at $94.04 per barrel, up $2.56 (2.80%). By contrast, the U.S. Dollar Index fell 0.30 points (0.30%) to 98.86 points, and the dollar-won exchange rate declined 3.05 won (0.23%) to 1,340.52 won per dollar.

This is a parallel summary of indicator closing data for the trading day and does not mean that these figures caused the index declines or moves in individual stocks. In the editor’s interpretation, because rising yields and oil prices appeared alongside a falling Dollar Index, it is necessary to confirm the continuity of closing data in the next trading session rather than explain the day’s entire stock-price movement through a single indicator change.

Among the collected news reports, Reuters’ September 1, 2026 original article presented high Treasury yields and rising oil prices as background for early-September market unease. In addition, Reuters’ September 3, 2026 original article, WSJ’s September 3, 2026 original article, and Investopedia’s September 3, 2026 original article presented Federal Reserve officials’ remarks and yield movements as background for the market rally at that time. These were interpretations of earlier trading days covered by the respective reports and cannot be restated as direct causes of the September 8, 2026 regular-session decline.

Three Items to Check in the Next Regular Session

  1. It is possible to check whether the downward direction of the S&P 500 at 7,673.52 points, the Nasdaq Composite at 26,421.41 points, and the Dow Jones at 52,786.07 points on September 8, 2026 continues into the next regular-session close.

  2. It is possible to examine whether the divergence among individual stocks—Tesla at $368.16 (up 3.98%), Nvidia at $225.73 (down 2.01%), and Micron at $1,000.26 (down 1.61%) on September 8, 2026—persists.

  3. It is possible to check the next trading day’s closing changes in the VIX at 15.76 points, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield at 4.806%, and WTI crude oil at $94.04 per barrel on September 8, 2026.
