S&P 500 closed at 7,683.69 on 2026-09-28, fell 0.8% on the session and is +12.2% year-to-date. Here is what the market data shows.

The S&P 500 fell 0.77% on Monday, September 28, closing at 7683.69. The benchmark of large US companies was down 1.04% over the week and 0.61% over the month, although it remained up 3.27% over three months and 12.24% since the start of the year.

The pullback left the index close to the top of its yearly range. It finished 1.48% below its 52-week high of 7798.99 and 21.12% above its 52-week low of 6343.72. It also held above both of its closely watched moving averages, which smooth out daily noise by averaging past closes: the 50-day average stood at 7640.61 and the 200-day average at 7209.42. On those measures, Monday was a dip inside an intact uptrend rather than a break of it.

The selling was broad across the main US gauges. The Nasdaq, heavier in technology stocks, lost 0.92%, and the Dow gave up 0.67% on the same day. The rest of the world cannot be read as one session, because the latest closes carry different dates. In Asia, markets that traded after Wall Street on September 29 were mostly weaker: the KOSPI dropped 3.18% and the Nikkei 1.64%, while the ASX 200 edged up 0.14%. The most recent European figures available are from Friday, September 25, when the DAX rose 0.56%, the Euro Stoxx 50 added 0.48%, the FTSE 100 gained 0.14% and the CAC 40 slipped 0.04%. The Hang Seng's latest close, also from that Friday, was a 1.01% fall, and India's Sensex and Nifty 50 rose 0.43% and 0.34%. Shanghai and the TAIEX were last recorded on September 24, down 1.22% and 0.28%.

Headlines pointed mostly to rates and energy. A Yahoo Finance headline said the three US indices fell as Treasury yields continued to climb. A headline from The Sunday Guardian linked the decline to oil trading above $106, rising yields and weakness in tech ahead of a Fed rate hike, and it put the slide at 0.88%, which differs from the 0.77% closing figure in the pack; it may describe an intraday reading. A TradingView headline cited rising yields and a rejected Hormuz deal involving President Trump as weighing on futures. CNBC separately reported that nearly half of S&P 500 stocks were moving against the rest of the market.

What the data establishes is a modest, broad US decline that kept the index near its high and above its trend lines. The headlines consistently mention higher yields, but the pack offers no yield or oil data of its own, so it does not confirm how much of the move those factors explain.
