Wall Street Rebounds Strongly After Last Week's Technology Sell-Off

2026, November 9

United States

US stock markets staged their strongest single-day recovery since April, with investors returning to equities following last week's heavy losses linked to concerns about excessive artificial-intelligence valuations and investment spending. The S&P 500 gained 2.3%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 2.2%, and the Nasdaq Composite rose 2.7%. The smaller-company Russell 2000 performed even better, climbing 3.1%.

Falling oil prices also helped improve investor confidence, easing concerns about inflation and energy costs. Brent crude declined approximately 5.8% during Monday's trading. However, technology shares remained under pressure in certain areas, particularly Nvidia, demonstrating that investors are still questioning whether enormous investments in AI infrastructure will deliver sufficient financial returns.
