2025-11-21 21:05 By Felipe Alarcon 1 min. read

US stocks sharply rebounded on Friday as the Dow rose 1.2%, the S&P 500 added 1.1% and the Nasdaq climbed 0.8%, after New York Fed President John Williams suggested policy may have room to move closer to neutral and traders lifted the probability of a December rate cut to nearly 70%.

Communication services led early advances with Alphabet up 3.3% on momentum around its Gemini 3 model and plans for large data centre investments while Meta (0.9%) firmed and Intuit rallied after strong results.

However the tech complex weakened again as the session progressed with Nvidia (-1%) turning lower and joining Microsoft down 1.3% Broadcom down 1.9% AMD down 1.1% and Oracle plunging 5.7% as investors continued to reassess stretched AI valuations.

The major indexes still posted weekly losses with the S&P 500 down 2% the Dow down 1.9% and the Nasdaq lower by 3.2% as markets balanced hopes for Fed easing with ongoing volatility across the largest AI names.

US Futures Pressured by Iran Uncertainty
US stock futures drifted flat to lower on Thursday as investors continued to monitor developments in the Middle East amid heightened uncertainty over efforts to end the Iran war. The White House maintained that talks are ongoing, with the Trump administration reportedly sending a 15-point proposal to Iran via Pakistan aimed at resolving the conflict. Top Iranian authorities are reviewing the US plan but signaled no intention of entering talks with Washington. Tehran said it would reject a US ceasefire offer, instead countering with a five-point proposal that includes sovereign control over the Strait of Hormuz. In regular trading on Wednesday, the Dow rose 0.66%, the S&P 500 gained 0.54%, and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.77%, supported by a pullback in oil prices on hopes for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict. Investors now turn to the latest weekly jobless claims data on Thursday for fresh signals on labor market conditions.

US Stocks Climb Mid-Week
The Dow rose 0.9%, the S&P 500 climbed 0.7%, and the Nasdaq 100 advanced 0.8% on Wednesday as emerging reports of a 15-point US peace proposal delivered to Tehran fueled hopes for a diplomatic end to the Middle East conflict. This rebound was supported by a drop in WTI crude oil prices and tumbling Treasury yields which eased inflation concerns and encouraged risk-taking across most equity sectors. Technology shares provided momentum with Nvidia rising 2% and semiconductor peers AMD and Intel jumping over 7% as investors favored growth. Financials and industrials also moved higher with JPMorgan adding 1.1% and GE Aerospace gaining 2.1% amid a softer inflation outlook. In contrast energy producers weighed on the market as lower oil prices caused Exxon Mobil and Chevron to slip. Micron Technology also bucked the trend falling 3.4% for its fifth consecutive losing session as investors reassessed capital expenditure following recent earnings.
