Stock Market Update Monday November 17, 2025 After an early-session advance lost momentum, equities spent the remainder of the day under persistent, orderly selling pressure. The S&P 500 closed down 0.9%, though the benchmark staged a modest late-day recovery, retracing roughly half a percentage point in the final hour of cash trading and finishing well above intraday lows.
On the day,
S&P 500 (SPX): –0.9%
Nasdaq 100 (QQQ): –0.8%
Russell 2000 (IWM): –2.0%
Away From Stocks: Treasury yields drifted one to two basis points lower across the curve, reflecting a mild bid for duration. In commodities, WTI crude slipped below $60/bbl, while gold eased to $4,044/oz as precious metals saw broad profit-taking. Digital assets extended their drawdown: Bitcoin fell to $91,600, deepening its six-week decline to 27%. Meanwhile, implied volatility firmed, with the VIX pushing above 22.
