- The Nasdaq Composite stood at 25,227.10 at 12:15 p.m. ET on November 9, up 2.64% from Friday's close.
- Lower oil prices and a recovery in chip stocks supported the broader rebound after last week's technology sell-off.
- Nvidia remained a notable drag amid a board investigation involving CEO Jensen Huang.
- Tuesday's U.S. consumer-price report is the next major macroeconomic focus.
The Nasdaq Composite was trading at 25,227.10 at 12:15 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, November 9, 2026, according to World Money Roadmap. That represented a gain of 647.67 points, or 2.64%, from the index's previous close of 24,579.42. In Berlin, the cited reading corresponded to 17:15.
Rebound follows sharp technology sell-off
The intermediate reading extended the recovery that began after the Nasdaq Composite's 5.52% slide on Thursday. The index had closed Friday at 24,579.42, up 1.09% on the session but down 3.37% for the week, according to the Nasdaq official index overview.
Monday's move therefore recouped part of the previous week's losses rather than establishing a new closing trend. The index remained in an unfinished U.S. trading session, so the cited level and percentage were subject to further change.
Oil and chips support risk appetite
Falling crude prices helped lift sentiment across equities. The Associated Press report published by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said Brent crude was down 4.1% to USD 94.27 a barrel at the time of its morning market update. The report linked the decline to hopes that negotiations could reduce the risk of further escalation in the Iran conflict.
Chip stocks also rebounded after the previous week's AI-related selling. Advanced Micro Devices, Applied Materials and Broadcom were among the stronger semiconductor names in the midday market update, while Nvidia moved in the opposite direction. Nvidia's board investigation involving CEO Jensen Huang remained a company-specific source of uncertainty, even as the wider technology market recovered.
Inflation data next in focus
Investors were also positioning ahead of Tuesday's U.S. consumer-price report. The data may influence expectations for the Federal Reserve's next policy decision, particularly after October employment growth exceeded forecasts. The Nasdaq's rebound showed improved appetite for technology shares, but the combination of elevated valuations, AI infrastructure concerns, energy prices and interest-rate expectations continued to leave the index sensitive to new information.
