It was one of the busiest weeks of the year. The Spotlight Index averaged 63, where 50 is a normal week, and only one week in the past year was busier. For stocks it was the busiest week of the year.

The big story was an AI sell-off after the US midterms on 3 November. Democrats did well, and some of the winners pledged to slow the building of AI data centers. On Thursday, mixed results from Qualcomm and Arm added to it.

Wednesday4 NovIndex 78

Medline went the other way. It jumped 18% on Wednesday after its results beat, it raised its outlook and it announced its first $1bn buyback.

Thursday5 NovIndex 77

Seagate fell 28.5% on the week, its worst day on Thursday.

Western Digital fell 28.0%, also hardest on Thursday.

BAE Systems fell 10.8% as the midterms raised doubts over US defence spending, and a forecast cut from Rheinmetall added to it on Thursday.

Friday6 NovIndex 55

On Friday the sell-off reached Tokyo, and Japan's Nikkei fell 6% on the day and 9.3% on the week.

What can move markets next week

9–13 Nov 2026 · and the reading each market carries into it

The one to watch is US inflation for October, out on Tuesday 10 November at 08:30 New York. It can move stocks, bonds and the dollar at once.

On Monday, Take-Two and Occidental report after the close. On Thursday, India's October inflation comes out, and Cisco reports after the close. On Friday, the IEA publishes its monthly oil market report. Wednesday is Veterans Day in the US, so the bond market is shut, though stocks are open.
