Stock market today: Dow tumbles 800 points with Nasdaq, S&P 500 hammered as investors pare rate cut bets

US stocks fell sharply on November 13, 2025, led by a decline in tech stocks as the end of the longest-ever US government shutdown was met by concern from investors that the Federal Reserve's plans for a December rate cut might be in doubt. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite suffered the sharpest losses, falling 2.3%. The benchmark S&P 500 fell 1.6%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.6%, or 797 points, to backtrack on its second record close in a row. President Trump late Wednesday signed a bill ending the record-setting 43-day US federal shutdown, but White House officials said economic reports delayed by the closure 'will be permanently impaired' and will likely never be released.

US stock market hits record highs for second day as Fed rate cut bets ignite Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq rally led by Apple, Nvidia, Tesla

US stock market rallied to record highs for the second consecutive day, driven by investor expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September. Major indices, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite, reached new peaks. Tech giants Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla led the surge, with Nvidia climbing 3.8% to $149.22, extending its year-to-date gain to over 80%. Tesla jumped 4.1% to $322.85, marking its best single-day performance in over two months. Microsoft rose 1.7% to $468.10, pushing its market cap near $3.6 trillion, and Amazon gained 2.0% to $212.44, reaching a fresh all-time high.

Stocks cautious as Nvidia earnings test looms

Global stock markets opened cautiously on November 17, 2025, ahead of major corporate earnings, particularly from Nvidia, and delayed U.S. jobs data. Investor sentiment was tempered by growing doubts over a U.S. interest rate cut in December, with expectations sliding from over 60% to 40% in a week, driven by hawkish Federal Reserve remarks. The broader market gains were modest, with S&P 500 futures rising 0.3%. In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei remained flat but saw steep losses in tourism and retail, as tensions with China deepened. Australia's market fell to a four-month low due to a court ruling against BHP over a dam collapse.
