Suryaa Now Business News Desk: US stock markets concluded with mixed results on Friday, November 13, 2026. The tech-heavy Nasdaq index recorded losses due to heavy selling pressure on AI and semiconductor stocks, while the Dow Jones managed slight gains supported by traditional sector shares.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 52,347.55, up 50.46 points or 0.10 percent. The S&P 500 index declined by 0.40 percent, and the Nasdaq Composite fell by 0.91 percent.
Selling pressure in the tech and chip sectors was driven by developments surrounding Nvidia. Following the resignation of CEO Jensen Huang and a rating downgrade by HSBC, Nvidia shares fell by approximately 2 percent. This trend impacted other semiconductor and tech companies, with AMD shares dropping 8.75 percent and Cisco Systems falling 6.24 percent. Broadcom and Dell shares also recorded losses.
Additionally, US Treasury bond yields reached the 5 percent level, prompting investors to withdraw funds from high-growth tech stocks in favor of safer, defensive sectors. These fluctuations in US markets are impacting sentiment in Asian and European markets. International investors are now focused on the upcoming quarterly financial results for Nvidia due next week.
