- Technology and artificial-intelligence shares led the advance after strong CoreWeave results and an improved outlook eased concerns about AI spending.

The Nasdaq Composite was trading at 25,585.70 at 19:02 Berlin time, or 14:02 Eastern time, on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. The index was up 519.83 points, equivalent to 2.07 percent, from the previous session's close of 25,065.87. The regular Nasdaq session was still under way, so the level was an intraday reading rather than a closing value.
The previous close and the Nasdaq Composite's index description are shown by the Nasdaq index overview. Tuesday's decline followed hotter-than-expected US inflation data and renewed expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates in December.
AI shares lead the rebound
The technology-heavy index recovered as semiconductor and AI infrastructure stocks moved higher. Reuters reported that CoreWeave's strong earnings and improved outlook helped investors look past concerns about excessive AI spending. CoreWeave shares rose sharply, while Nvidia also rebounded after two difficult sessions. The report placed the broader move in the context of a volatile week for technology stocks, with concerns about data-center spending and higher interest rates still competing with dip-buying demand.
Earlier in the session, Reuters reported that the Nasdaq Composite opened at 25,451.05, up 1.54 percent from Tuesday's close. The subsequent rise in the index level showed that the advance was still positive by mid-afternoon, although intraday values can change before the closing auction. The Reuters market report also cited the improved sentiment around AI infrastructure as a key factor behind the advance.
Inflation remains a market risk
The rebound did not remove the monetary-policy risk that had pressured the index on Tuesday. CNBC reported that October consumer prices increased 0.4 percent month over month, above economists' expectations, while market pricing for a December rate increase rose after the data. Higher rates can weigh particularly heavily on growth and technology valuations, leaving the Nasdaq Composite sensitive to further changes in Treasury yields and Federal Reserve expectations.
