The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 225.87 points, a 0.48% increase, closing at 47,311.12. The index s the U.S. stock market had a mixed to negative performance overall. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) fell by approximately 251.44 points or 0.5%, closing at 47,085.24. During the day, the DJIA traded down as much as 459.62 points at the intraday low. Out of the 30 components on the Dow, 18 ended in negative territory while 12 finished positive.

The broader markets also struggled with the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite falling around 2% (around 486 points) and the S&P 500 sliding about 1.2%, pressured by weak performance in AI infrastructure stocks. Major AI-related names like Palantir, Nvidia, and AMD experienced significant declines (around 7.9%, 4%, and 3.7% respectively) amid investor concerns about overstretched valuations in this sector. Market participants were booking profits on AI stocks, and Wall Street analysts warned about a potential correction in the broader market ranging from 10-20% in the coming years.

The volatility was driven by valuation concerns specifically impacting AI companies, along with uncertainty ahead of the Supreme Court hearing on tariffs imposed during the Trump administration. Overall, November 5 was characterized by profit-taking, especially in technology and AI segments, with broader indices ending the day lower.
