The 10-year Treasury yield hit its highest level since 2007, with traders pricing in a high probability of another Fed rate hike. Despite the decline, technical indicators suggest the long-term uptrend remains intact, with key support at $98.50 and resistance at $126.50." datetime: "2026-09-28T16:52:57.000Z" locales: - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/300333274.md) - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/news/300333274.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/300333274.md) generator: "portal-rs" --- # Why Is Intel Stock Falling on Monday? **Intel Corp.** (NASDAQ:INTC) stock fell on Monday as higher Treasury yields, caution around artificial intelligence risks and profit-taking weighed on the chip maker. The stock had risen 28.42% over the past month before the decline. The Nasdaq is down 1.35% while the S&P 500 has shed 0.84% and Technology is also in the red with a 1.3% loss. ## **Treasury Yields Reach Highest Level Since 2007** The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 5.25%, its highest since June 2007. Traders put the odds of a second straight Federal Reserve rate hike at 70.3%. “It’s real rates that have moved up more than the inflation expectations,” Cleveland Fed President **Beth Hammack** said on Friday. A real yield is what a bond pays after expected inflation. **Read Also: SpaceX Starship Reaches Orbit for First Time Despite Engine Failure** ## **Oil And Inflation Data Ahead** West Texas Intermediate crude rose nearly 4% to $95.89 a barrel on Monday, after President **Donald Trump** rejected Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days. August PCE inflation data arrives Wednesday, and September payrolls follow on Friday. On Monday, **Nvidia Corp.** (NASDAQ:NVDA) introduced software aimed at preventing AI agents from breaching containment. Nvidia listed Intel among its partners. CEO **Jensen Huang** said AI’s potential depends on addressing safety challenges. ## Technical Analysis Even with Monday’s drop, the longer-term trend remains upward: the stock is trading 44.4% above its 200-day SMA ($79.57) and remains above its 20-day SMA ($105.81) and 50-day SMA ($99.45). The 20-day SMA is also above the 50-day SMA, and the 50-day SMA is above the 200-day SMA—two bullish crossover signals that typically show an uptrend is intact unless price starts losing those faster averages. For momentum, MACD is the cleaner read right now: it’s above its signal line and the histogram is positive, which suggests downside pressure is easing versus the prior downswing even if price is choppy day to day. From a levels standpoint, $126.50 is the nearby area to watch on rebounds, while $98.50 is the key downside line that would put the stock back near its 50-day area and shift the tone from "pullback" to "trend damage." - **Key Resistance**: $126.50 — a nearby pivot zone where rebounds can stall after the recent run-up - **Key Support**: $98.50 — a prior buyer-defense area that sits close to the stock’s intermediate trend zone **INTC Stock Price Activity:** Intel shares are trading lower by 5.37% at $116.39 at the time of publication on Monday, according to Benzinga Pro data. **Read Also: NVIDIA Flexes Its Cash Muscle With Record $150 Billion Buyback Increase** *Image via Shutterstock* ### Related Stocks - [INTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTC.US.md) - [INT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INT.US.md) - [INTW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTW.US.md) - [INYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INYY.US.md) - [LINT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LINT.US.md) - [.IXIC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.IXIC.US.md) - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Trump Reportedly Says Government 'Might' Take a Stake in OpenAI, Anthropic, Just Like It Did With Intel: 'I Have Many Deals Like That'](https://longbridge.com/en/news/300749418.md) - [Discussing the future of AI in Singapore and Asia: DBS conference](https://longbridge.com/en/news/300214002.md) - [SINTRONES präsentiert KI-gestützte Bildverarbeitung für die Elektronik- und Halbleiterprüfung auf der VISION 2026](https://longbridge.com/en/news/300748108.md) - [Amazon, Google Make $23 Million Education Pledge](https://longbridge.com/en/news/300606554.md) - [Synopsys Powers Autonomous Engineering with a Broad Portfolio of Long-Horizon Agents and Autopilot Platform | SNPS Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/300311186.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
