How major US stock indexes fared Wednesday 11/11/2026

A rebound for AI stocks lifted the U.S. market.

The S&P 500 rose 1.3% Wednesday and got close to recovering all of its brutal sell-off from last week triggered by worries about a potential slowdown for AI businesses. The Nasdaq composite rallied a market-leading 1.6% because of the strength for tech stocks, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.5%.

CoreWeave drove the gains after reporting stronger results for the summer than analysts expected, and the S&P 500 pulled within 2.6% of its record set last month. The U.S. bond market was closed for a holiday, and oil prices rose.
