Stocks are set to open higher after a volatile week. On Friday, November 6, 2026, the S&P 500 rose 0.31% to 7,376.86 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.09% to 24,579.42 as chip shares bounced, but the S&P 500 still lost 2.7% on the week, its worst since April 2025. The Dow slipped 0.46% to 51,285.73 after a strong US jobs report pushed yields and the dollar higher. In Asia on Monday the Nikkei 225 closed 2.3% higher and Taiwan’s Taiex rose about 4.9%, while Nvidia fell in pre-market trading after it opened an investigation into reports about CEO Jensen Huang. Brent crude is near $96 to $97 on easing Iran tension. Data cut-off: 11:25 UTC (13:25 in Bucharest). The freshest source stamps are AP (11:22 UTC) and Reuters via MarketScreener (European data as of 09:26 GMT), so prices may have moved since. The US cash market opens at 14:30 UTC (16:30 in Bucharest). Previous edition: Friday, November 6.

Sources: the US closes and weekly changes are from the AP table (3:20 PM CST, November 6), and the S&P 500 and Dow levels match Saxo and Investrade (21:10 UTC, November 6); Investrade shows rounded figures (for example S&P 500 +0.32%), so we use the AP points and compute the percentages ourselves. European closes are from Investinglive (17:24 UTC, November 6) and STL.News; the STOXX 600 close comes from Saxo and STL.News, not from the index provider. Monday Asia and Europe figures come from AP (11:22 UTC, November 9), KuCoin and MarketScreener (Reuters). The Taiex change differs by time of day, so treat it as approximate. These are market-data summaries, not official exchange data.

Friday figures come from Investrade and Saxo (about 05:00 CET on Monday); Monday morning figures from AP, Tickmill and Saxo. Thursday figures repeat our previous edition. Investrade, our only source for the dollar index and the Friday oil and gold settlements, does not state every contract month. Saxo also says the US high-yield spread is 336 bp.
What moved markets
A partial rebound for AI stocks. After Thursday’s rout, when the S&P 500 fell 4.4% to 7,353.73 (AP), semiconductor shares recovered on Friday: Saxo puts the semiconductor index up 4.2%, and Investrade says it had fallen about 12% on Thursday. Investrade also reports, from a single source, that Microsoft ended a contract to rent AI cloud capacity from Oracle and that Oracle shares fell; we have not confirmed this with either company. AP says the selling was partly driven by concern that Democratic midterm wins could slow data-centre construction.
Strong US jobs data. October nonfarm payrolls rose 165,000 against a consensus near 65,000, with net upward revisions of 84,000 to prior months, the unemployment rate fell to 4.1% and average hourly earnings rose 0.4% on the month (Saxo, Tickmill, Investrade). The preliminary University of Michigan sentiment index for November came in at 51.0 against 48.0 expected (Investrade, single source). The US dollar had its biggest one-day gain in five months (HDFC Sky), and the 10-year yield edged up to about 4.86%.
Fed pricing. Saxo says futures moved further toward a rate rise at the Fed’s meeting on December 8 and 9, and the HDFC Sky summary of Reuters puts the probability of a 25 bp rise at nearly 80%. That is up from about 70% on Thursday in our previous edition, though the two figures come from different sources. US October CPI is due Tuesday.
Iran and oil. Brent fell about 13% last week (Investrade); Saxo cites a 16% fall in the January contract, so the figure depends on the contract. President Trump confirmed limited US strikes on an Iranian air-defence site and said further strikes are unlikely while talks progress (Saxo; Reuters via MarketScreener). Tickmill also lists fresh shipping incidents near the Strait of Hormuz and a reported strike near Riyadh’s financial district among overnight headlines; we have not confirmed either.
Nvidia. AP reports that Nvidia opened an investigation into reports that CEO Jensen Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort, which China’s foreign ministry called a smear campaign. Nvidia fell 4.1% in US pre-market trading (AP) and about 6% in Frankfurt (Yahoo Finance, Reuters). Nasdaq 100 futures were down as much as 1.0% early before recovering to +0.1% (Tickmill).
Asia. TSMC rose 4.7% (AP). SoftBank fell 4.2% as it works to salvage a $5.4 billion robotics deal with ABB that Chinese regulators have rejected (AP). China’s October producer prices rose 5.7% from a year earlier, above expectations (Saxo).
Europe this morning. Banks led: UniCredit rose about 5% after third-quarter profit grew about 24% and it raised its full-year profit target, and Banco BPM jumped about 10% after Crédit Agricole proposed merging its Italian unit with the bank (Reuters via MarketScreener). LVMH fell more than 2% on weak October consumer demand in China, Hochtief lost about 4% after majority shareholder ACS said it had not considered a takeover bid, and SAP rose about 2% after a JPMorgan upgrade. Yahoo Finance reports euro-zone inflation at a three-year high of 4.0% in October, and Reuters says investors expect the ECB to raise rates by at least 25 bp by February.
US futures. S&P 500 futures were up 0.3% and Dow futures 0.6% at 11:22 UTC (AP); Saxo’s reading at about 05:00 CET was +0.55% for the S&P 500. Options price a move of about 1.25% (92 points) in the S&P 500 today and about 2.54% through Friday (Saxo options brief).

The next trading days
The key release is US October CPI on Tuesday, November 10 at 08:30 ET (13:30 UTC, 15:30 in Bucharest), with a consensus of +0.3% on the month for the headline and +0.2% for core (consensus from Tickmill; release time from financecalendar.com). CoreWeave reports on Tuesday, and Cisco and Applied Materials on Thursday, per Saxo; one calendar we saw lists Cisco on Tuesday, so check the company. UK third-quarter GDP is due Thursday, US producer prices on Friday, and euro-zone final October inflation and third-quarter GDP this week, per Tickmill. For the Bank of England, last week’s rise to 4.0% was its first hike since 2023 (previous edition).
