For the week ending 6 November 2026, the Nasdaq Composite fell 3.4% to 24,579.43, its fourth consecutive weekly decline. The S&P 500 dropped 2.7% to 7,376.86, and the Dow fell 0.9% to 51,285.73.

Energy was the weakest sector, falling about 12% over the week as crude oil slumped. Stocks rallied midweek when oil fell more than 8%, but a sell-off later in the week erased those gains. On Thursday the market dropped 4.36%.

A US jobs report published on 6 November showed employment rising much more than expected in October. The October Consumer Price Index was scheduled for release on 10 November.

Markets can move sharply on data releases like these. Figures in this recap come from market reports published in early November and may be revised.
