Market Summary - November 10, 2026
Market Overview
The opening of trading on Wall Street has seen a notable decline in market sentiment, particularly affecting technology stocks. The Nasdaq 100 futures have dropped approximately 1%, while both the S&P 500 and Dow Jones indices are down around 0.7%. Concurrently, crude oil prices have continued to fall, with Brent crude dipping below $90 per barrel for the first time since August, and WTI crude losing over 2% to trade around $85. This decline follows comments from Donald Trump indicating that further military action against Iran may not be necessary.
Economic Data
The primary catalyst for the equity selloff was the release of the October Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data at 14:30. The core CPI increased by 0.3% month-over-month, surpassing the expected 0.2%, while the headline CPI rose to 0.4% month-over-month against a consensus of 0.3%. These figures have strengthened the US dollar and led to a spike in bond yields. The significance of this report is heightened by recent comments from Fed Governor Christopher Waller, who has supported a potential rate hike in December and indicated that a core inflation rate of 0.3% or higher may necessitate more aggressive monetary tightening, including a possible 50 basis point increase.

Technical Analysis
The Nasdaq 100 index (US100) has shown resilience after defending lows below 27,000 points, currently rebounding and testing key resistance at the 200 EMA (28,342 points). The RSI indicator has risen from oversold levels to 40.3 points, indicating reduced selling pressure. A sustained break above the 200 EMA could lead to a resistance zone between the 100 EMA and 50 EMA (29,273-29,365 points), while a rejection at this level may prompt a retest of recent lows.
