After a day of optimism on Wall Street, stock futures remained relatively flat on Tuesday night (November 11, 2025). This came after a session where investors sold off technology names and drove a rally in more risk-off parts of the market.

Futures linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 3 points, or about 0.01%. Futures for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 also edged slightly higher, each gaining less than 0.1%. Wall Street witnessed two different tales on Tuesday. On one hand the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained more than 550 points to close at a record high, while the Nasdaq Composite slipped. The S&P 500 ended higher, notching its third positive session in a row.

After Monday’s rally, US stocks opened mostly lower on lingering unease about the stratospheric valuation growth of major players in artificial intelligence. Nvidia got back to falling amid continued concerns that stocks caught up in the artificial-intelligence frenzy may have become too expensive.

According to CNBC, the market saw investors shifting to parts of the market with lower valuations and less exposure to the artificial intelligence trade, bringing consumer stocks such as Walmart, Home Depot, and McDonald’s into the limelight and propping up the 30-stock Dow on Tuesday. The health care sector was the top-performing sector. It was powered by moves higher in names such as Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson.Wall Street stocks mostly rose Tuesday as optimism over a likely end to the US government shutdown offset weakness in some leading technology equities.The S&P 500 added 0.2% after erasing a loss taken during the morning.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 559 points, or 1.2%, to a record, surpassing its prior all-time high set two weeks ago.

The Nasdaq Composite lagged the market, though, as Nvidia got back to falling amid continued concerns that stocks caught up in the artificial-intelligence frenzy may have become too expensive. The Nasdaq dipped 0.3%.
