Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P Live Updates for November 5, 2025
November 5, 2025 at 1:02 AM UTC
Global markets took a hit yesterday, experiencing their sharpest decline in weeks due to concerns about overvalued assets. This triggered a flight to safety, with investors favoring bonds and haven currencies like the Japanese yen. The trend continued into today's early Asian trading, where US equity-index futures slipped, foreshadowing further losses for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100. Tech stocks were particularly affected, with Super Micro Computer Inc. shares plummeting after a disappointing second-quarter profit forecast, and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. failing to impress investors with its revenue projections.
Asian markets opened lower as well, with South Korean equities leading the decline, dropping over 4%. This widespread negative sentiment highlights the market's sensitivity to valuation concerns and the potential for further volatility as investors navigate these turbulent times.
