US Stock Markets Decline Amid Higher-Than-Expected Inflation Data

Major US indices retreated during midday trading on November 10, 2026, as hotter-than-expected October inflation data fueled fears of aggressive Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. The Nasdaq Composite led the decline, falling over 1%, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average also traded lower. Rising Treasury yields have increased concerns regarding borrowing costs for corporations, particularly within the high-debt AI infrastructure sector. Sector performance was mixed; energy stocks saw gains due to declining oil prices amid potential geopolitical resolutions in Iran, but technology and basic materials faced significant selling pressure. Individual stock volatility was notable, with Nvidia (NVDA) under pressure following an investigation into CEO conduct, while Sanmina (SANM) and Sally Beauty showed strength following positive guidance and earnings beats respectively.
