* Bonds rallied: Treasury yields fell (10-year at 4.02%), signaling a more cautious tone.

By the close on Thursday, February 26, 2026, the S&P 500 finished at 6,909.01 (down 37.12), the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 49,499.21 (up 17.06), and the NASDAQ Composite ended at 22,878.38 (down 273.69).
