AI stocks rebound after sharp market selloff

Nov 6, 2026
US AI and semiconductor stocks recovered some of their losses on Friday after a broad selloff erased trillions of dollars in market value.

US AI stocks regained some ground on Friday after a sharp selloff tied to election and regulatory concerns, the BBC reports. The Nasdaq Composite was about 1.7% higher by midday after falling 5.5% in the previous session.

Nvidia rose about 4% after losing more than 9% on Thursday. AMD gained about 12% and Micron rose more than 8%, following declines of more than 17% for both chipmakers during the selloff. The S&P 500 was about 0.9% higher.

Markets outside the US remained lower. South Korea's Kospi closed down 6%, while SK Hynix fell more than 10%. Major indexes in Germany, France and Spain also declined, and the UK's FTSE 100 fell 1.01%.
