On November 24, 2025, U.S. stock futures showed little change, supported by gains in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks and growing anticipation that the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates. Major indices like the Dow Jones and S&P 500 remained steady, with the S&P 500 rising approximately 1.6% and the Nasdaq Composite gaining 2.7%, despite a challenging month for tech stocks.
Nvidia’s shares fell 4% following a report about Meta Platforms potentially investing billions in AI chips, while Alphabet (Google’s parent company) saw a 4% increase in its stock price, closing at an all-time high. Broadcom also stood out, soaring over 11% and becoming the top gainer in the S&P 500.
Despite the positive movements, the major indexes have suffered declines this month—S&P 500 down 2%, Nasdaq down 3.6%, and the Dow down 2.3%. Analysts noted a significant influence from AI-related investments, although there is caution regarding tech stock valuations. The market now assigns an over 80% probability that the Fed will cut rates by 0.25% in December, particularly after comments from Federal Reserve officials indicating support for rate cuts due to labor market concerns.
