Wall Street closed Friday, November 13, 2026, mixed, as a renewed selloff in AI and chip stocks weighed on the Nasdaq while the Dow held a small gain — capping a turbulent week that still ended higher overall. The S&P 500 fell 0.40% to 7,561.67, the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.91% to 25,136.27, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.10% to 52,347.55, and the small-cap Russell 2000 slipped 0.31% to 2,790.49. For the week, however, the indexes gained solidly after Monday's rebound from the AI selloff: the S&P 500 rose 2.5%, the Nasdaq 2.3% — its best week since August — and the Dow 2.1%. Chip stocks were again at the center of the selling: the PHLX Semiconductor Index fell 3.43%, AMD dropped about 8.75% after a powerful run over the previous five sessions, and Nvidia fell about 2% to $162.85 in a second day of losses after CEO Jensen Huang's resignation, taking its market value below $4 trillion and down roughly 12% for the week. In the background, the morning producer-price report showed a 6.5% annual rise — the largest since November 2022 — the 10-year Treasury yield held near 5.15%, gold settled at $3,878.70 an ounce, and WTI crude at $89.01 a barrel. Minutes before the closing bell, the FAA issued its nationwide ground stop for departing flights over a communications failure. Investors now look to Nvidia's earnings on Tuesday, November 17, and to the Federal Reserve's December 8–9 meeting, where markets are pricing in a quarter-point rate hike.
