Stock market today: Live updates
Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., Nov. 26, 2025.

The Nasdaq Composite rose on Friday following a “cooling issue” at a data center that caused a disruption in assets traded at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
The tech-heavy index advanced 0.4%, while the S&P 500 climbed 0.3%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 124 points, or 0.3%.
The disruption could cause even more volatility, as Wall Street comes back from the Thanksgiving holiday for a shortened trading session on Friday. Trading volumes the day after Thanksgiving are historically well below average, meaning moves — to the upside and the downside — could be more extreme.
A weak November
Friday also marks the last trading day of November. A pullback in tech stocks have weighed on the major averages this month, as doubt swirled around the future profitability of AI companies.
Yet some investors are hopeful that this month’s slide will mean a year-end rally is in store for the major averages, as they step into buy stocks that have been unduly punished at more attractive valuations.
The Nasdaq fell almost 2% on the month, on track to end a seven month advance. The S&P 500 was marginally lower, pacing to snap six straight months of gains. The Dow, meanwhile, traded around the flatline for the month.
That said, stocks are on pace to wrap up a winning week, following a turnaround in tech names. The Dow is up almost 3% week to date, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite are higher by 3% and 4%, respectively, in the weekly period.
