Wall Street opened August with a broad risk-on move as falling oil prices, lower Treasury yields and a renewed bid for AI and cloud stocks pushed major U.S. indexes higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.32% to a record close, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 2.13% and the S&P 500 climbed 1.48%. Markets repriced energy risk after U.S. President Donald Trump said talks with Iran had begun and suggested the Strait of Hormuz could reopen soon.

WTI dropped 7.42% and Brent fell about 6%, easing inflation pressure and helping Treasuries rally. The 10-year U.S. yield slipped about 5 basis points to around 4.68%, while gold held above the $4,000 mark. The strongest equity action came from AI and cloud names. Amazon rose 4.58% and crossed a $3 trillion market capitalization for the first time after stronger-than-expected AWS results. Nvidia gained nearly 3% and moved back above $5 trillion, Meta rose more than 6%, and Microsoft and Google each added close to 5%.
