- The S&P 500 closed at 7,549.94 on November 9, 2026, up 2.35% from the November 6 close.
- Lower oil prices eased inflation concerns, while technology shares broadly recovered after the previous week's sell-off.
- Investors now turn to October consumer-price data and ongoing debate over AI regulation, data-center spending and a possible December rate hike.
The S&P 500 ended Monday, November 9, 2026, at 7,549.94 points. Based on preliminary closing data from Dow Jones Market Data and FactSet, cited by Morningstar, the index gained 173.08 points, or 2.35%, from its November 6 close of 7,376.86. The move was the S&P 500's strongest one-day percentage gain since April 8, according to the same report.
Oil drop supports risk appetite
The advance followed a sharp decline in crude prices. The Associated Press reported that Brent crude fell 5.8% on Monday. Lower energy prices helped ease immediate inflation concerns and supported a broad recovery after the S&P 500 had suffered a 2.68% decline in the previous week.
The rally also extended the index's rebound from Friday, although the market remains below its October record close. Morningstar reported that the S&P 500 finished Monday 3.44% below its record closing level of 7,818.93, reached on October 6. The index was nevertheless up 10.29% for 2026 through Monday's close.
Technology rebound remains uneven
The broader recovery came despite weakness in Nvidia. Reuters reported that Nvidia fell about 6% amid controversy surrounding an internal investigation related to Chief Executive Jensen Huang. Other semiconductor shares advanced, with Broadcom gaining nearly 9% and Advanced Micro Devices rising about 13%, according to the report. All 11 major S&P 500 sector indexes rose, while industrials and consumer discretionary stocks were among the strongest performers.
Inflation data moves into focus
Investors now face a busy macroeconomic calendar. Reuters said the U.S. Labor Department was scheduled to release October consumer-price data on Tuesday and producer-price data on Friday. The stronger-than-expected October employment report has also kept expectations for a possible December Federal Reserve rate hike in focus. At the same time, investors continue to assess whether political pressure for tighter oversight of AI and data-center development will materially slow corporate investment.
