Research Report

Question: You are a rigorous financial research analyst. Ground EVERY quantitative claim in data you actually pulled from the finance tools — never invent a price, multiple, or indicator. Answer the REQUEST below by:

Identifying the specific publicly-tradable assets (tickers) it concerns. When the request is open-ended (e.g. "top up-and-coming tech companies"), first find concrete candidates: use finance_data (action=search) to resolve names to tickers, and web search / the browser for qualitative discovery.
For EVERY ticker you discuss, pull real data with the finance tools:

finance_data action=analyze — LIVE price, % returns, 52-week range position, and the indicator panel (RSI-14, MACD, SMA 50/200, VWMA-20/67, trend). Batch multiple tickers in one call.
finance_data action=fundamentals — market cap, P/E & forward P/E, PEG, margins, revenue growth, analyst target & rating (use for valuation).
finance_data action=quote source=pyth — fastest realtime spot price (esp. crypto) with a confidence band, when you need the very latest tick.
finance_data action=liquidation — the VWMA-67 'true price' and leverage liquidation levels (great for crypto/timing context).
finance_news — recent catalysts/sentiment (macro + per-ticker headlines).
finance_insider — corporate insider (SEC Form 4) and, with scope=congress, political trades, to see informed-money flow. If scope=congress returns a browser_fallback (the free API was gated), follow it: use the browser tool on the given capitoltrades.com URL(s) and read the rendered trades table.

Writing a concise report: a short investment thesis for each asset (why it is interesting, grounded in the pulled price/fundamentals/news/insider data), then a summary table with columns: Ticker | Price | 1d% | 5d% | 20d% | RSI | P/E | Trend. Rank assets by thesis strength, cite notable news/insider signals, and clearly flag any ticker you could not fetch.

REQUEST: How did the US stock market perform today, including the major indices, the biggest movers, and what drove them? Any interesting acquisitions or sales?

Executive Summary

There was no US trading session on 2026-11-14 — it was a Saturday. The market you're asking about is Friday, 2026-11-13, the last completed session, and the answer in one line: a narrow, semiconductor-led decline inside a strongly positive week. The S&P 500 fell 0.40% to 7,561.67 and the Nasdaq Composite 0.90% to 25,136.27, while the Dow rose 0.10% to 52,347.55 — seven of eleven sectors closed green, the equal-weight S&P rose 0.20%, and the S&P still logged its first winning week since early October (+2.5%).

Two things drove it. First, a hot annual inflation print that locked in a Fed rate hike — not a cut. October PPI rose just 0.3% m/m vs. 0.4% expected, but 6.5% y/y, the hottest since November 2022, and markets are "fully pricing in a quarter percentage point increase" at the Dec. 8–9 FOMC, with "slight odds" of a half-point (CNBC). The 10-year held ~5.15%. Second, the resignation of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, which repriced the entire AI-chip complex: chip stocks lost more than $650 billion in market value in two days (Yahoo Finance). AMD fell 8.75%, XLK fell 2.01%, NVDA closed at $162.85 with RSI-14 at 22.3.

On deals: no acquisition, divestiture or sale in the 2026-11-13→14 window could be verified to primary standard (acquirer, target, value, consideration). Three candidates surfaced at search-snippet level only — Greenland Energy/80 Mile (~£74M), Advanced Drainage Systems/Storm Trap, Lineage/NeuroAirmid — none confirmed. Treat the deal tape as unverified, not empty.

The Session at a Glance

Index levels: finance_data quote (yahoo), bars terminating 2026-11-13; the S&P/Dow/Nasdaq figures are corroborated independently by Motley Fool/Yahoo (S&P 7,562 −0.40%, Nasdaq 25,136 −0.91%) and Stocktwits. ETF cross-check: SPY 754.37 (−0.363%), QQQ 679.89 (−1.203%), DIA 523.15 (+0.13%), IWM 277.54 (−0.323%).

The VIX is the tell: it spiked above 20 intraday (20.92) and closed at 19.30, and is down 24.7% over five sessions. That is an intraday scare that was bought — not a systemic risk event.

Ticker	Close	1d %	5d %	20d %	RSI-14	Trend / note
AMD	534.06	−8.75%	+18.9%	+1.0%	52.8	Volume 48.6M vs 24.6M 3-mo avg (+98%); "caught in the downdraft" from Nvidia's post-Huang uncertainty

Unexplained micro-cap extremes (single-source: stockmarketwatch.com digest, published 2026-11-13T21:31Z — catalysts not given): FCUV +135.47% to $7.06, AKAN +103.96% to $1.37, RMIX −37.52% to $5.07, NPCE −36.23% to $7.67, SPCE −31.27% to $1.84. I am not inventing reasons for any of them.

What Drove It — the Causal Chain

#	Driver	Evidence (dated in-window)
1	October PPI, 8:30 ET — soft monthly, hot annual	+0.3% m/m vs +0.4% consensus; +6.5% y/y, highest since Nov 2022; core +0.3% in line; ex-food/energy/trade +0.5% m/m; goods +10.2% y/y; intermediate processed goods +14.6% y/y. Futures added to gains on the release, then the rally faded. CNBC, 2026-11-13 08:31 ET
2	Fed is pricing a HIKE, not a cut	"Markets are fully pricing in a quarter percentage point increase… with slight odds that the FOMC might opt for a half-point hike." CNBC. BofA now sees hikes at the next three meetings (TheStreet Pro headline, snippet only)
3	Goolsbee (Chicago Fed), Friday	Inflation broadening "in categories that are not driven by oil prices and not driven by tariffs… stalled progress and in some cases going the wrong way." CNBC
4	Nvidia leadership shock	Jensen Huang resigned as CEO (2026-11-12) after an investigation into a personal relationship; report says his exit "wipes away more than $1T in value." Board reportedly approached Arm CEO Rene Haas (FT, relayed by Stocktwits). No Nvidia 8-K or press release was retrieved — see Risks
5	Bond market removed the AI trade's cushion	"> $650 billion" of chip market value lost in two days as yields rose. Yahoo Finance Chart of the Day, 2026-11-14T13:18Z
6	FAA nationwide ground stop, Friday afternoon	Halts all departing US flights; airline stocks "modestly lower" (Stocktwits). Lifted by Saturday morning; delays persist

Weekend news, after the close (context for Monday, not drivers): Boston Fed's Collins said there is "a strong case to keep rates steady" and called the job market in "uncommon steadiness" — a dovish counterweight to Goolsbee (FinancialJuice, 2026-11-14T14:30Z). A global Microsoft outage was resolved Saturday morning. Treasury Secretary Bessent told the Fed not to hike "too much" (247wallst, 2026-11-14).

The Rotation in One Table

Sector ETF	1d %	5d %	RSI-14	% of 52-wk range
XLP Consumer Staples	+1.42	+2.52	69.9	92.1

XLK Technology	−2.01	+3.36	39.8	19.8

finance_data analyze, 2026-11-13. Spread: 3.43pp. Equal-weight RSP +0.20% vs cap-weight SPY −0.36% — the median S&P stock rose. RSP sits at the 92.8th percentile of its 52-week range vs SPY's 82.1st; over 20 days RSP is +3.30% against SPY's −1.16%.

Critically, this was not a rates shock. Utilities (+0.53%) and real estate (+0.02%) — the two sectors you would expect to break on a 5.15% 10-year — both rose. The damage was concentrated entirely in technology, which sits at the 19.8th percentile of its 52-week range while utilities sit at the 97.8th. Money rotated out of AI duration into defensives; it did not leave the market.

Acquisitions, Divestitures & Sales

Candidate	Date	Terms	Status
Greenland Energy → 80 Mile (UK)	2026-11-13	~£74M; merger with JV partner	Snippet only — Law360 M&A index. Per-share consideration, premium, cash/stock mix not obtained; neither party confirmed US-listed
Advanced Drainage Systems (WMS) / Storm Trap Investments LLC	2026-11-13 (possibly 11-12 — body says "on Thursday")	Undisclosed	Snippet only — RTTNews
Lineage / NeuroAirmid Therapeutics (Huntington's program)	2026-11-13	Not obtained	Snippet only — BioSpace
SpaceX / Tesla merger talks	2026-11-12	—	Out of window, and talks only, not an announced deal (Reuters)
Western Union / Intermex ($500M)	Announced Aug 2025	$500M	Out of window — retrospective recap in a week-in-review piece (FinTech Futures)

Corporate actions that are not M&A (deliberately not dressed up as deals): AstraZeneca eliminated ~600 US positions in respiratory & immunology commercial teams — a restructuring; Fermi (FRMI) disclosed commitments from an unnamed investment-grade hyperscaler for 600 MW at its Project Matador campus — a commercial offtake contract; Harvard's endowment cut Nvidia by a third and bought AMD — a 13F position change. Also on the calendar: Nvidia reports Q3 on 2026-11-17 under interim CEO Colette Kress, and Anthropic's IPO is expected to list 2026-11-19.

Analysis

The dispersion is the whole story, and it is measurable three ways: Dow +0.10% vs. Nasdaq-100 −1.22% (~132 bp); XLP +1.42% vs. XLK −2.01% (343 bp); RSP +0.20% vs. SPY −0.36%. All three say the same thing — mega-cap semiconductors broke and everything else absorbed the money. Because the S&P is cap-weighted, a single-name shock in the largest AI complex transmits almost mechanically into the headline index while leaving the median stock higher.

The macro side is the more durable signal, and it runs opposite to the usual framing. The soft +0.3% monthly PPI bought the opening bid; the +6.5% annual rate — with intermediate processed goods at +14.6% y/y — killed it, and Reuters' characterization that the print "failed to alter expectations for more rate hikes" is the load-bearing sentence (Reuters). A 5.15% 10-year with a December hike priced is a direct de-rating force on the longest-duration equities, which is exactly the group that underperformed.

Read Friday in weekly context or you will overstate the damage: SPY +2.60% and QQQ +3.63% over five sessions, AMD +18.9%, AVGO +18.2%. Friday gave back a fraction of a sharp rebound from the 2026-11-05 selloff (QQQ closed 647.05 that day on 130.7M shares, ~2.7× average volume). NVDA is the exception — −23.95% over 20 days is a sustained de-rating, not a one-day headline.

US Equity Session Recap — Friday, 2026-11-13 (the most recent completed session on or before 2026-11-14)

Executive Summary

2026-11-14 was NOT a US trading day. It fell on a Saturday, so there is no "today's tape" for 2026-11-14. This report therefore covers the most recent completed session: Friday, 2026-11-13, with the prior session (Thursday, 2026-11-12) shown for comparison.

That the last available daily bar in the data feed is dated 2026-11-13 is confirmed directly by the price tool: every ETF series returned last_bar: "2026-11-13 14:30:00" (09:30 ET session open) with no 2026-11-14 bar (finance_data action=analyze, symbols SPY/QQQ/IWM/DIA, exchange=BATS).

The session was a fractured, tech-led decline: the S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell while the Dow eked out a small gain, as a shock leadership change at Nvidia and a sticky producer-inflation print hit semiconductors. Reuters' session wrap, published 2026-11-13T10:35Z and last updated 2026-11-14T00:44Z, frames it exactly that way: "The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed lower on Friday, as concerns about Nvidia pressured technology shares, while a reading on inflation failed to alter expectations for more rate hikes from the Federal Reserve" — https://www.reuters.com/business/nasdaq-futures-dip-nvidia-tumult-keeps-investors-edge-2026-11-13/

Important sourcing caveat: my research budget was exhausted before I could fetch the AP index roundup (the fetch timed out). Index levels below therefore come either from the price tool (ETF proxies, fully fetched) or from search-result snippets only — pages I saw summarized in a search engine result but did not retrieve the body of. Those are marked [SNIPPET — page not fetched]. Where I have neither, the item is flagged UNFETCHABLE.

Key Findings

1. Session status and date anchoring — Confidence: HIGH

2026-11-14 = Saturday, no US cash-equity session. Verified structurally by the data feed returning no 2026-11-14 daily bar for SPY, QQQ, IWM or DIA (finance_data action=analyze/history).
Reported session: Friday, 2026-11-13. Prior session: Thursday, 2026-11-12.
Reuters dateline confirms trading on 2026-11-13 with a photo caption dated "November 13, 2026" at the NYSE (same URL as above).

2. Index closing levels and 1-day changes — Confidence: MEDIUM (levels), HIGH (direction/magnitude)

US Equity Market Recap — Session of Friday, 2026-11-13 (reported 2026-11-14)

1. Executive Summary

2026-11-14 was NOT a US trading day. It was a Saturday. The most recent completed US equity session on or before 2026-11-14 was Friday, 2026-11-13 — that is the session this report covers, and every price/percentage below is from that session. (The 2026-11-13 session date is confirmed by the digest's own headline, "Market Digest — Friday, November 13, 2026," with datePublished: 2026-11-13T21:31:03Z — https://stockmarketwatch.com/digest/2026-11-13 — and by the last_bar timestamp of 2026-11-13 14:30:00 on every ETF I pulled from finance_data.)

The session was fractured rather than uniformly "mixed": the Dow and defensives rose while the Nasdaq and semis sold off hard on a single-name shock — Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned — compounded by a sticky October PPI print and Treasury yields near 5%. The S&P 500 still posted its first winning week since early October.

2. Index Performance — 2026-11-13 Close

Index	Close	1-day %
S&P 500	7,561.67	-0.40%
Nasdaq Composite	25,136.27	-0.91%
Dow Jones Industrial Average	52,347.55	+0.10%
Russell 2000	2,790.49	-0.31%
VIX	19.29	+3.16%

Source for all five levels: https://stockmarketwatch.com/digest/2026-11-13 (published 2026-11-13T21:31:03Z).

Independent cross-check via finance_data (ETF proxies, last_bar 2026-11-13 14:30:00) — all consistent in direction and magnitude:

SPY 754.37, -0.363% (S&P 500 proxy)
QQQ 679.89, -1.203%; NDX 27,943.74, -1.221% (Nasdaq-100 proxies — the Nasdaq-100 fell harder than the Composite, which is the signature of a mega-cap/semis-led decline)
DIA 523.15, +0.13% (Dow proxy)
IWM 277.54, -0.323% (Russell 2000 proxy)
VIX 19.30, +3.209% — agrees with the digest's 19.29 / +3.16%

UNFETCHABLE: The cash index symbols ^GSPC, ^IXIC, ^DJI, ^RUT, ^VIX, ^SPX, ^VVIX, DJX, UVXY all returned "no data … on any exchange." I therefore could not pull index levels directly from finance_data; the cash index closes above come from the cited digest page, corroborated by the ETF proxies. Also UNFETCHABLE: the AP News index-roundup page (https://apnews.com/article/wall-street-stocks-dow-nasdaq-12c1e8155fb85c3c7b09e058ed6d3c74) timed out on fetch, so I could not use it as a second independent index source.

US Equity Sector & Market-Internals Review — Session of Friday, 2026-11-13

Trading-day determination (stated up front)

2026-11-14 was NOT a US trading day. It was a Saturday. The most recent completed US session on or before 2026-11-14 was Friday, 2026-11-13, and every number below is that session's close.

Evidence: AP's market wrap is titled "How major US stock indexes fared Friday 11/13/2026" (https://apnews.com/article/wall-street-stocks-dow-nasdaq-12c1e8155fb85c3c7b09e058ed6d3c74), and no finance_data pull returned any bar dated 2026-11-14 — every series terminates at last_bar: 2026-11-13 14:30:00 UTC. Saturday 2026-11-14 news flow in finance_news was exclusively central-bank speeches and geopolitics, with no market data.

Important sourcing caveat, stated before the numbers: my quantitative data comes from finance_data tool pulls (Yahoo/TradingView backend), which are reliable and internally consistent. My qualitative sourcing is weak: AP, MarketWatch and a Fool article were returned by search with 2026-11-13/14 datestamps, but all three timed out on fetch, and a StockTitan fetch returned a gzip-corrupted body. So headline-level claims below are marked [headline only — body unfetched] and are not treated as verified.

1. Index performance — Friday 2026-11-13 close

Source for all index rows: finance_data action=quote, source=yahoo (last bar 2026-11-13 14:30 UTC).

Index	Close	Prev close	1-day %	Day low	Day high
S&P 500 (^GSPC)	7,561.67	7,591.86	−0.40%	7,499.40	7,621.78
Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC)	25,136.27	25,363.75	−0.90%	24,872.41	25,423.09
Dow Jones (^DJI)	52,347.55	52,294.12	+0.10%	52,017.86	52,521.48
Russell 2000 (^RUT)	2,790.49	2,799.35	−0.32%	2,763.72	2,805.90

Cross-check: an independent recap snippet states "the S&P 500 finished -0.36%, the Nasdaq 100 -1.20% and the Dow 30 +0.13%" (https://stocksetups.com/today) — which matches my ETF pulls of SPY −0.363%, QQQ −1.203%, DIA +0.13% almost exactly. Two independent computations agreeing is a genuine validation of the quote data.

Note the very wide intraday ranges: the S&P traded a 122-point band (7,499–7,622) and closed near the middle. AP's snippet describes "shaky trading" — consistent with the range, though I could not read the article body [headline only].

Critical weekly context: Friday's dip came after a strong week, not during a decline. 5-day changes from the same pulls: SPY +2.60%, QQQ +3.63%, DIA +2.13%, IWM +1.41%, RSP +2.37%. AP's snippet says the market "still posted its first winning week since early October" [headline only]. Do not read Friday's red print as a down week.

2. Sector SPDRs — 1-day change, ranked

US Equity Session Recap — Friday, 2026-11-13

(2026-11-14 was not a US trading day)

Trading-day status: 2026-11-14 is a Saturday. The most recent US equity session on or before that date was Friday, 2026-11-13, and every price in this report is the 2026-11-13 close. This is corroborated by the data itself: every series I pulled returns a final daily bar timestamped 2026-11-13 14:30:00 and no 2026-11-14 bar exists (finance_data action=analyze, 18-symbol batch, last_bar: "2026-11-13 14:30:00"). All news citations below carry publication dates of 2026-11-14 (weekend wrap-ups of Friday's action) or reference events of 2026-11-12/13.

1. Executive Summary

Friday 2026-11-13 was a bifurcated, AI-led down day: the Nasdaq-100 fell 1.22% while the Dow rose 0.10% — a ~1.3-point spread between growth and value. The proximate cause was a two-front shock to the AI complex: (a) the resignation of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on 2026-11-12 amid an affair scandal, and (b) a bond-market repricing toward a Fed rate HIKE, which removed the "bond cushion" under the AI trade and coincided with more than $650 billion of chip-stock market value lost in two days (Yahoo Finance, Chart of the Day, 2026-11-14T13:18:55Z). The VIX closed at 19.30, up 3.21% on the day but still down 24.7% over five sessions.

Notably, this was a sharp Friday reversal inside a strong week, not a week-long slide: SPX was still +2.51% over 5 days and AMD +18.9%, AVGO +18.2%, MU +12.8% over the same window. Nvidia was the glaring exception at -12.7% over 5 days and -23.9% over 20 days.

No acquisition, divestiture, or sale announcement dated 2026-11-13..2026-11-14 was found in the sources I retrieved. That is a statement about my retrieval, not proof no deal occurred — see §5.

US Equity Session Recap — Friday, 2026-11-13 (the most recent trading session on or before 2026-11-14)

1. Executive Summary

2026-11-14 was NOT a US trading day. It was a Saturday. The most recent session is therefore Friday, 2026-11-13, and every price in this report is that session's close.

The session was a narrow, rotation-driven loss: the Dow eked out a gain while the Nasdaq and S&P fell, because the AI/semiconductor complex reversed hard intraday. The macro backdrop was the opposite of a "dovish print" story — October PPI came in below consensus on the monthly headline but at 6.5% year-over-year, the hottest since November 2022, and the market is pricing a Fed hike, not a cut, in December. That kept the 10-year yield pinned above 5.1% and pushed the VIX back to 19.3.

The single largest idiosyncratic shock was Jensen Huang's resignation as Nvidia CEO, which repriced the entire AI-chip complex.

9	No M&A deal dated in-window was found — not found, not confirmed absent	Low / gap

3. Detailed Analysis

3.1 Session dating — why 2026-11-14 is excluded

The daily bar series for every index proxy terminates at 2026-11-13 14:30 — the last bar returned for SPY, QQQ, DIA, IWM and all eleven sector SPDRs is last_bar: "2026-11-13 14:30:00" (finance_data analyze, SPY/QQQ/DIA/IWM). No 2026-11-14 bar exists. The 2026-11-14 news tape is weekend material only — geopolitics and Fed speeches, no cash-market prints (e.g. "Fed's Collins: a strong case to keep rates steady," timestamped 2026-11-14T14:30:02Z, FinancialJuice). Reported session: Friday, November 13, 2026.

Round 0 · Finding 6

US Equity Session Recap — Friday, 2026-11-13

1. Executive Summary

2026-11-14 was NOT a US trading day. It fell on a Saturday (day 318 of 2026; Jan 1 2026 was a Thursday, so 2026-11-14 resolves to Saturday). The most recent completed session on or before that date was Friday, 2026-11-13, and that is the session this report covers. The Friday close is corroborated by a Stocktwits market wrap published 2026-11-13T23:37Z that explicitly describes "the S&P 500 ended Friday 0.4% lower" (https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/s-and-p-500-dow-nasdaq-end-lower-amid-nvidia-turmoil-but-record-best-week-since-august-spcx-nvda-arm-azn-in-focus/cNbRj3uR9Q2).

The session was a tech-led down day inside an up week: the Dow eked out a small gain while the S&P 500, Nasdaq and small caps fell, semiconductors were hit hardest, and the VIX rose. The dominant single-stock story was Nvidia's leadership crisis.

Important scope limitation, stated up front: I was not able to fetch a ranked top-5 gainers / top-5 losers table with per-name closing prices and 1-day percentage moves. The finance_news endpoint returned HTTP 429 ("Too Many Requests") on the financialjuice source for the keyword-scoped queries, and both web searches I ran returned junk (Bing served dictionary definitions for "biggest" and "acquisition" rather than market data). I therefore report the individual names whose catalysts are documented in-window, and I flag every missing number explicitly rather than estimating it.
