The U.S. stock market experienced a significant downturn today, Thursday, November 13th, 2025, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) closing down 797.60 points (-1.65%) at 47457.22. This broad market sell-off was primarily driven by worries over the valuation of artificial intelligence (AI) stocks and growing skepticism regarding anticipated interest rate cuts. Despite the end of a prolonged government shutdown providing some initial relief, the broader concerns about AI stock sustainability and monetary policy overshadowed positive sentiment. Treasury yields also pushed higher, adding downward pressure on equity prices.
The main narrative centered on a retreat from high-flying AI-related equities, with NVIDIA (NVDA) being a significant drag on the market, falling -4.69% amidst questions about how much higher these "AI darlings" could climb after spectacular gains. Adding to the market's woes, Walt Disney Co. (DIS) was a notable decliner, dropping -7.88% after reporting revenue that fell short of analysts' expectations, despite an earnings beat. Caterpillar (CAT) also saw a substantial decline of -4.26%.
Conversely, a few companies managed to buck the negative trend. Cisco Systems (CSCO) emerged as the biggest gainer, soaring +4.10% following a strong earnings report that surpassed Wall Street estimates and an uplifted full-year profit outlook. Other notable gainers included Nike (NKE), which rose +2.66%, and Merck & Co. (MRK), increasing by +2.23%.
