Stock Market Update Tuesday November 18, 2025 Another volatile session saw the S&P 500 (SPX) oscillate within a roughly 1.5% intraday range. The index opened sharply lower amid renewed selling pressure, signaling signs of near-term capitulation as the VIX briefly approached 26, and the SPX slipped to nearly 5% below its late-October highs. A midday recovery attempt brought the SPX back toward unchanged levels, though momentum failed to sustain into the close. The index ultimately finished modestly off session lows but well short of a convincing rebound, leaving it roughly 4% below its recent peak. All “Magnificent Seven” constituents ended the day in negative territory, underscoring continued weakness in mega-cap tech.
Score Board:
S&P 500 (SPX): -0.8%
Nasdaq 100 (QQQ): -1.2%
Russell 2000 (IWM): +0.3%
Away From Stocks: Treasuries traded in a narrow band, with the 2-year yield easing 2 bps to 3.58%, while the 30-year yield inched up to 4.74% from 4.73% Monday. In commodities, WTI crude edged higher toward $61 per barrel, gold held steady near $4,072 per ounce, and bitcoin rebounded toward $93,000 after briefly dipping below $90,000 earlier in the session. The VIX ultimately settled at 24, reflecting lingering investor caution despite intraday stabilization.
