03:58 PM EDT, 09/08/2025 (MT Newswires) -- US equity indexes rose ahead of the close on Monday amid government bond yields extending declines and gold surging to a new all-time high.

The Nasdaq Composite was up 0.5% to 21,805.7, after hitting a fresh record of 21,885.62 earlier in the session. The S&P 500 rose 0.2% to 6,491.4, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 0.2% higher at 45,479.5. All sectors except technology and consumer discretionary and industrials fell, with real estate and utilities leading the decliners.

Most US Treasury yields retreated, with the 10-year down 4.2 basis points to 4.04%, the lowest since early April. The two-year yield slipped 1.2 basis points to 3.5%, the weakest since September 2022.

Gold futures rose 0.6% to $3,674.61, after scaling a new peak of $3,685.70 earlier in the session.

In company news, AppLovin (APP) is set to replace MarketAxess (MKTX) in the S&P 500, effective Sept. 22, S&P Dow Jones Indices said. Shares of AppLovin (APP) rose 12% intraday, the biggest gainer on the Nasdaq.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
