The Dow Jones was at 51,511.59 points at 10:28 a.m. ET on October 6, 2026, up 243.69 points or 0.48 percent from Monday's close. The advance followed lower oil prices and retreating Treasury yields, while investors looked ahead to the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes due Wednesday, according to Economic Times.
Drivers of Tuesday's advance
Oil prices fell as Middle Eastern crude exports improved and the G7 pledged an emergency stockpile release. Brent crude traded at USD 98.58 per barrel, while the 30-year Treasury yield fell to 5.626 percent after reaching a 2002 high in the previous session, Reuters reported.
The Dow entered Tuesday after closing at 51,267.90 points on October 5, a gain of 0.18 percent. Monday's close and the prior close of 51,176.96 points were reported by Upstox.
What is next
The Federal Reserve is scheduled to publish minutes from its September 15-16 meeting at 2:00 p.m. ET on October 7, 2026. The release is expected to provide detail on the committee's recent rate decision, according to Admiral Markets.
