Stock Market Update Monday October 13, 2025

Stock Market Update Monday October 13, 2025 U.S. stocks rallied sharply Monday, recouping a large portion of Friday’s losses. Small caps outperformed, while implied volatility eased but remained above recent lows. Investors view Friday’s selloff as a temporary risk reset rather than a shift in market structure.

Tech, AI Drive Gains — Broadcom Soars on OpenAI Partnership Tech and AI names led the advance. Broadcom (AVGO) jumped nearly 10% after unveiling a multiyear AI chip collaboration with OpenAI. AMD (AMD) and Nvidia (NVDA) extended gains as investors rotated back into high-growth technology following last week’s rare earth export concerns.

Score Board:

• S&P 500 (SPX): +1.6%

• Nasdaq 100 (QQQ): +2.2%

• Russell 2000 (IWM): +2.8%

Away From Stocks: Gold surged to a record $4,100/oz (+2.2%) on safe-haven demand amid trade frictions, policy uncertainty, and renewed rate-cut bets. Silver gained 3.6%, nearing historical highs. Bitcoin rebounded to $115,800, though traders flagged the move as a fragile technical bounce. Crude rose 1.3% to $59.69 as trade optimism offset supply overhangs. The U.S. dollar strengthened (+0.3%) on safe-haven flows, while the euro weakened (-0.46%) amid softer growth expectations.
