Caterpillar stock closed lower on the NYSE on September 23, 2026, amid a broader US equity decline. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.7 percent to 51,511.59, while the S&P 500 declined 0.8 percent to 7,706.03 on the same session.
September 23, 2026 in numbers
Caterpillar Inc. (ISIN US1491231015) traded in a market pressured by higher Treasury yields and stronger economic data. The 10-year Treasury yield reached 5.11 percent, its highest level since 2007, according to ABC News.
The session backdrop included a September composite purchasing managers index reading of 58.4, up from 56.0 in August. The services measure rose to 58.7, while manufacturing reached 57.0, according to eOption. The Dow lost 352.10 points, the S&P 500 lost 58.61 points and the Nasdaq Composite lost 308.24 points on September 23, 2026.
September 24, 2026 outlook
US investors enter the session with the same rate-sensitive backdrop: the 10-year Treasury yield was reported at 5.11 percent and West Texas Intermediate crude settled at USD 92.16 per barrel on September 23, 2026. Those market measures are relevant to Caterpillar because industrial-equipment shares are sensitive to borrowing costs, economic activity and commodity-linked investment.
